Ill raise my price to about 600£. anyone know of any good ones?

I don't think you'l be able to buy a fully HD projector for that price range. You could probably get a high resolution projector for that price. You may be able to get a "HD ready" projector, but I doubt a 1080i projector. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/121006

You really have to think before buying a projector if you really need it and how often will you use it. Lamps are incredibly expensive to replace. Check out ebuyer or some similar computer related websites to find your projector.

With products in the computing and gaming industry, you quite literally, get what you pay for.

If you check out the resolution, it's tiny. I don't think it's worth getting that projector. Your best bet is to atleast get a 800 x 600.

As above, you get what you pay for.

Any other suggestions on projectors, thanks for ALL replys btw

I dont mind buying off ebay either, if the seller has good feedback

Projectors (Decent ones) hit up to £1000 to £2000

You won't get a decent projector capable of high resolutions (let alone HD resolutions) for £600, and the bulbs can cost upwards of £200, which need replacing every few months, just buy a HDTV.

Hmmm, not entirely true. Lamps don't need changing as soon as that, I use one for work and it's used quite often and it's never needed its bulb changed since I've been there for the 3 years. Maybe on cheap projectors, but the projector I use wasn't that expensive at the time.

To avoid the bulb going, you shouldn't turn the projector on and off within 30 mins, so it can warm up. Why do you need a projector anyway? TVs are better than a projector, the only good thing about having a projector for gaming, browsing and general TV is for novelty value :P

In HD, and projectors used as televisions (they are used loads) then the bulbs will go very quickly, wether the projector is cheap or expensive.

Mine hasn't, and they seem to love watching films on there most days, aswell as projecting slide shows and videos :P

As I said... HD projectors ;)

[GommeInc]

You also said projectors used as TVs :P I can see why HD projector bulbs burn out, it must take alot of power to show the detail you get with anything in HD.
