A pretty good budget data projector, and nothing to watch out for that I 
know of, only that data projectors aren't as good for doing home theatre. 
They do a satisfactory job for most people, but videophiles will explain to 
you why you can't be happy unless you spend gazillions on hardware.
Projectors are one of those technolgies that have improved remarkably, and 
gotten smaller and cheaper all at the same time. IIRC the lamps are as 
expensive as every other, about $600-800 (They may have come own since I 
last bought one).
