RICOH PJ WX4130N ULTRA SHORT THROW PROJECTOR

Check out this solid, sub-$1000 home entertainment projector. Of course you can place it in a home theater, but it is more intended for less well designed rooms. One thing that makes it interesting is how it is sold in the US. The best I can tell, Optoma's HD23 projector in the US, is only available at Best Buy stores, and I assume, their online as well.  In other words, it seems to be an exclusive deal.  It's sort of a shame.  It means Best Buy has a projector that many other dealers wish they too, could sell.Gamers rejoice, Optoma's GT720 projector is designed as a 720p HD projector specifically as a Game Projector. True, it can do a lot more, including 720p resolution 3D - games and more.
