Hello. I am currently looking for a new projector and have it narrowed down to a couple and need some help deciding. We have a fair amount of ambient light in the room and will be projecting to a 160" screen. The throw doesn't really matter to use since we can change the position. The three projectors we are considering now are the Dell 7760 laser, Sony VPL-PHZ10, and NEC P502HL. They are all right around the same price ($3000) have similar lumen output and all use a laser for their light source. The Sony and NEC are 5000 lumens and the Dell is 5400. The Sony is an LCD projector while the Dell and NEC are dlp. Not sure what would be best or if there are other contenders that might fit the bill.
