I think of Cliffy and his BenQ W-whatever every single time I see a BenQ now. 
Speaking of Cliffy and his BenQ, I was thinking of getting a cheapie projector for the living room... Just something to pull out on the occasional Friday or Saturday night with a portable screen until I have a theater again... So, I was looking at some entry-level BenQ (again, because I keep thinking about Cliffy is such a BenQ fan ), and found out the Optoma HD20 was supposedly a tad better than the equivalent entry-level BenQ. Looks like they go around $300-350 used. Seems like a good little cheapie machine that I can use for the summer, then redeploy to Halloween window, back yard, and garage drive-in duty once the theater is built.
Anybody seen an HD20? Tolerable?

I thought you hated dlp.
You might want to look into some high end used dlps depending on your budget. They come with the larger chip, which supposedly gives better performance. I only paid around $1k for my Marantz.

I do generally dislike single-chip DLP, but this is just to dick around with in my living room on a portable screen. $300 or $350 is about all I want to sink into something, so a grand is WAY too much. That's more than a third of the budget for the real projector I'll put in the theater. Plus, I want something small and light I can throw in the drawer in my office off the living room.
I saw a couple of Runco DLP projectors locally. There was one that had a busted color wheel that was just listed "best offer" that I thought offering him something stupid like $100 for and fixing it, and there was (I think) the same model for $500. But, they're bigger and heavier, and I just don't care that much at this point.

Yeah I basically am giving it away. It sucks. Divorce sucks.
Finally fired up the stack last night, did a quick touch up and watched Interstellar.
Holy crap, great CRT flick!!!!!!

IF you can.. and only IF.. do it after the 15th of May. Barb and I would likely drive out if that's the case.

Cliff,
Take the stack with you. You will more than likely regret leaving it there at a later date. Put a cheap digital in its place to sell the house.

Dear Curt;
Yeah, you might be having the next Meet. No Meet for me this Fall. Long work related story.
I'm thinking about hosting a Meet next May, after school is done (which means after I am done teaching).

PS: Did you see my reply email to you about the LCP09 stainless steel screw/rubber washers I still need?
