Here is information on LCD projectors in a medium price range. Thanks for all the help. Hope this helps some of you. Good luck. I can't give you a model number (the one I bought does better with at least one blind closed); but Troxell is the company I bought it from and they were very reasonable and great to work with. Take a look at the NEC VT650 and the reviews on this page. http://www.projectorcentral.com/NEC-VT650-user-reviews.htm I have 5 of these in my school and they have worked well. The lamp for them is in the $400.00 range, but the initial [rice should be in the $1500.00 range. We have 4 Epson's at my school, work well, but a note of caution. Check out the price of replacement bulbs with each projector you consider. Our replacement cost is $350/ bulb and while the catalog says they should each run 1500 hrs., I have only gotten between 90-200 hrs before they died. Now some can't be used because there is no $ for replacement bulbs. We have both Eiki's and Epson's in our school. Th Espons get the most use & have held up well - in use since Jan. 2004. Whatever brand you get, purchase one with the highest lumens you can afford. I think that 1500 lumens would be the minimum for the room you describe, but I'd try to get more than that. With the money you have, you should be able to get a good projector with lots of lumens. Good luck. I wish I could mail you one dozen of our extras...........however........spend your money on an InFocus (brand name) I feel that they have a model that will meet your needs. I just bought an NEC VT 670 for my school library which has banks of windows on 2 sides. I was checking it the other day with the fluorescent library lights on and it looked bright enough. I believe it would fall in your price range. It might be one model you check out. I have Epsons in my building. They are easy to use and seem to be fairly dependable. Only drawback, replacement bulbs cost $350.00. You might want to check this replacement cost out before your purchase equipment. Also, check your local REMC to see if they offer data projectors through bid pricing for your church. We purchased our systems very resonably in this method. WE really like Boxlight projectors, and they are very reasonably priced.
