I have a feeling most would say the Optoma, as I've seen much acclaim for the product. Please let me know if anyone has any personal experience with these two--one may be cheaper than the other. I am new to PJs and could use the help. Please let me know of any deals I should look into, including the costs of the wires and connections required for each product. I am clearly not rich but too obsessed with HD sports to wait on these! Thanks!
