If you can find and afford it (used still aboue $3k),
I would highly recommend an InFocus LS735 projector.
Features;
NTSC, PAL, SECAM, EDTV, all HDTV resolution compatable,
4:3 or 16:9,
has every type of input you could ever need,
uses Faroudja's most highly touted technology,
is a 5 segment color wheel (versus a standard 3 or 4),
is a DLP based optics engine (Texas Instruments DMD)
3500 lumens,
a 2500:1 contrast ratio (full on/off).
Unfortunately it was produced back in 1999 in limited numbers, and was not the success that InFocus had hoped for.
Also, it ran through bulbs (8000K) in about 1,000 hours.
The InFocus ScreenPlay 777 is the current product that is relatively close in perfromance.
When I worked at InFocus I tried to get one, but ended up with a LP330 (built back in 2002). I use it occasionaly.
For everyday TV I went with a 32" LCoS by SVA (a partner of Toshiba).
