03.04.2008 — Despite the increase in the size of LCD and plasma flat-panels even as their prices decrease, for many people, a projector and a screen still deliver the greatest bang for their buck in a video display.

They still remain the best way to get a 100-inch (or bigger!) screen in your home, even if there are TVs that big. While some high-end projectors cost as much as a new car, the growth of the category over the past few years has led to the growth of less expensive price points, as well.

Regardless of whether your clients are looking for small or large jobs, a projector can fit. While there are a lot of home theater projectors currently available on the market, we've rounded up 10 new and custom-friendly options.

Some are expensive and some aren't, but they all promise to keep the projection category strong in 2008, even if flat panels are taking over the world.

Click here to see the 10 projectors for your next home theater.

I would put the Panasonic PT-AE2000U up against any of these, all day long.  Forget that the retail price is $2699, (with lower street prices) this unit benchmarks and tests far better than any of the above mentioned units.

Yes, please do put up a Panny/LCD up against near any LCOS/DLP home projector side by and side and let me know how that goes.  I’ve seen it with an RS1 and IN82 and it’s not even in the ball park of those 2.

Your guys’ comments are all great, but bear in mind that this roundup was intended to be a quick and informative survey of new products, not a “definitive” Top 10 List, and no one should feel slighted that their personal favorite didn’t make the list.

That said, if anyone has any other submissions for projectors, by all means speak up!

What no mention of Sanyo’s PLV-Z2000?
