B&H have a (less than) 24 hour special on the InFocus IN3126 3D projector. All up price including shipping is $665 -cheapest price on StaticIce is $1,210
Seems like a good projector if you don't mind the 720p resolution (WXGA 1280x800). Very bright, particularly for a name-brand projector at this price - 4000 Lumens.
I'm not going to buy one (DLP projectors make me nauseated) but thought I'd share in case someone else is in the market.
Specs below:
The IN3126 projector is compatible with PC-based 3D content configured at 720p and running at 120Hz. All you need are DLP Link 3D glasses to enjoy the experience (optional, sold separately).
This filter-free projector has an Eco Mode that still projects 3400 lumens, allowing you to save on lamp life and still produce a great picture. It even includes theft prevention measures, like email notification when the projector goes offline, a cable lock slot and PIN password protection.
The IN3126 • Widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution
• Up to 4000 lumens for great visibility in high ambient light

You'll get crisp text and pictures with true-to-life colors that come through even with the shades up and the lights on.

• Rare combination of very high brightness and portability
• Even in lamp-saving Eco Mode, the IN3126 beams out 3400 lumens
This worries me though:
My projector's 3D feature is advertised the same, and it is useless as a 3D projector. It doesn't support 120hz over HDMI, only blurry VGA, nor 3D standards of 3D blu-ray players and such, so there's basically no way to ever use the 3D feature.
It also cost only $500 from Officeworks, despite having great image quality and the same native res as this one (1280x800).
