Its had lots of good reviews, and like you say for the price, is very
good.

I'd imagine that I not use the projector for all TV viewing and so
think I'd stick with my current telly as well. The projector would
be for flims, and hopefully gaming. The way I have the lounge setup
at the mo, the Screen would either need to drop down just in front of the
curtains, and come no further down than the TV (so may be a little high)
or drop down in front of the TV, coming a lot lower, likely in
front of the speakers I have.

You seem to have managed to save enormous amounts of money and got
yourself a very good setup. I'm not sure I'd be able to get that
sort of a deal, or know what to lookout for second hand. Persuading
the other half, we need to save 6k+ to get the telly I've always
wanted and make lots of new holes in the ceiling is... well....
progressing more slowly than I had hoped.

Cheers
