We have bought quite a few Optoma TS400's and have no complaints. We have bought them for around $600. Just a basic classroom projector but don't need much more than that for most teachers.

For the most part, they won't be mounted. Is there a specific brand that bulbs are more reasonable on? * Is anyone using wireless connections to projectors successfully? We have a few, but the wireless network (internet) connection is given up when connecting to the wireless proj. Teachers don't like that. * As always, price is a factor, but it seems that most of these manufacturers are making money on the bulbs, warranties and not the projector itself. Layne A.
