What's a descent budget friend projector for everyday personal usage. Mostly TV movies and light computer... It's going to be located in a family room with medium to low ambiat light.
Reliability
Image quality
Lumens
In that order.
Eventually this projector will be used outside on lanai by a pool ( obviously weather protected and vented) as a secondary projector
Most likely used with a JAP matrix

Epson 5030. For 2k retail, I don't think you can beat it.

Or figure in that the 6030 for $1000 more comes with a spare lamp, mount, longer warranty, better margin.

I thought the Sonys looked a little dim to me compared to the Epsons.

Once callibrated, the brightness of the Epson tends to fall a tad short of the Sony.

the 6030 is $3500. well over the stated budget of under $2k. Nevertheless, a great value and one hell of a machine for the money.
