So I've got roughly $800 (preferably less) to spend on a compact DLP or LCD digital projector.

I found this one: Newegg.com - BenQ W100 DLP Home Theater Projector - Retail

Thoughts?

BTW, this does have to come from a retail outlet which kinda sucks, but oh well.

Woot : One Day, One Deal had a 480p projector with built-in DVD player for $300 sometime this month. That's the best value you'll probably get, but you have to wait around for it to come back.

I'll let everyone know how it is.

My home theater projector is a BenQ with the same specs and a different model number. I like it a lot, but it cost 50% more than that (2.5 years ago)
