Are LCD projectors that much worse than DLP, or is it just hype? Anyone happy with their LCD project

I am going to get a low end home theater projector.

I looked at the infocus in72, optoma h27, toshiba tdp-et## (forget the model) and the epson home 20.

The DLP seems to get better reviews for black but they are much lower in lumens. Also the 300-400 replacement dlp bulb really scares me.

The epson seems to have better colors, higher light output. $200 bulbs and much more flexible positioning. I like the idea of putting the projector on the coffee table instead of behind or on the ceiling. I figure that I my Wii, home theater pc and dvd player in the coffee table as well.

What worries me is the test that Texas Instruments did that showed that LCDs are really prone to burning out their colors. But the test was a little extreme. 24/7 operation for 2 months.

Anyone else have an epson powerlite home 20, 30s or something similar with an lcd prjector and are happy with it?

I don't want to go 720p or higher for another 2-3 years.

I'd have to agree with Robert P on this one. LCD has always had the "screen door" effect and with DLP it has been the color wheels. These days the color wheel problem has improved by adding more color wheels and the screen door effect has improved for the LCD as well so I wouldn't factor either of those into it much. Especially with the screen size you're talking about.
