Everybody and their brother has projectors this year. Sharp has a beautiful and remarkably silent one, and InFocus has some good stuff, but what really struck me was a new model from the normally adequate Optoma. With a scheduled release of April, the company's update of the H80 model features 1080p, 2,500 lumens (meaning you might actually be able to see it in a lit room), and an add-on lens with automatic wide-screen mode. This means no expensive add-on from Cinewide and no black bars. I saw a crisp picture on a 180-inch screen, and the price will likely be under $14,000 for both the projector and the widescreen lens.
