good contrast, OK (at best) res and lacluster brightness (though would be fine for dark basement). I'm going to pass but if you're in the market for both and you're putting the project in a dark basement, this is a great deal!

ok so what would you guys reccomned as a good projector for a "gaming off computer" and movie watching projector? it wouldnt be used for a desktop, so the res. wouldnt have to be too high. the project would be placed in a basement, so fairly dark

A 480p projector will be great for DVD viewing. I enjoyed gaming with my 480p DLP as well.

A basement would be the perfect place to use a projector.

If this is close to the quality of some of the better 480p DLP darkchip 2 projectors, this is a good deal if you're looking for a monitor too.

I have this projector. I have seen the Optoma H31 and would say it looks as good as it does but this is much brighter. The only drawback is the warranty is only 1 year vs the optoma h31 2 year. Bulbs are about $50 more than the optoma as well but for me it is nice to run the projector with the lights on.

Has it for $605 shipped so $100 for a 21" monitor sounds like a good deal if you want a projector.

excellent

I wondered about picking this up and just selling the projector... but was unsure how hard it would be to unload the projector

 

[trOver]

thats a good idea, because all i really wanted was the monitor anyway. you could see what the projectors r doing on ebay, and then make ur mind up on weather you want to sell it or not. even if you got the projector for 100 bucks cheaper, thats still 100 bucks cheaper on the monitor.

the monitor is only $200 as it is with the coupon.

its not even worth the hassle of selling the projector as its probably pretty impossible you'll get more than about $550 for it.

I thought the coupon expired?

Not a bad deal

Or buy the LumenLabs projector which uses $30 bulbs for $500 and the $250 monitor for cheaper than this package.

600:1 contrast makes that one undesirable, big time.
