Cheap (but decent) Projector Recommendation?

[willib1981]

Hi guys...

I'm a somewhat new convert to projectors in the past few years as the advent of "pico projectors" and lcd technology increases. I am not an an extreme "dark/light" contrast user but care for bright output, higher resolution and long bulb life which is what drove me to what I currently watch movies on now (a Favi RioHD LED2) which I bought 2 years ago for the low cost of $200.00. I am looking to upgrade as I have been running a Mac Mini through this at standard settings. What I am looking for is an upgrade in quality without spending more than $350.00 to $400.00 (which I understand is a stretch). Thanks again, I appreciate your show!
