LCD or Projector for bar?

[Prof.]

If you don't want all the fuss of an projector, or the maintenance and price of one, just get a very good LCD.

...and also you can double check that they are 240w compatible, ...

sorry but had to laugh.

Think you mean 220V-240V.
Watts is a completely different and irrelevant thing here.

If you're willing to spend 10K, there's a member on Prophecy selling a CRT projector for that amount. You don't get much better and their tubes last around 10000 hours. They're very heavy but they're full HD and colour reproduction is amazing.

The projector I was referring to under R5000 has these specs:

Display Technology: DarkChip2 DLP Technology by Texas Instruments Resolution: Native 720p Resolution: 1080p (1920 x 1080) Brightness: 1600 Lumens
Is this considered to be hd?

Guys lumens are VERY important. I have used projectors in many environments and your DONT want to use anything with less than 2000 lumesn unless your are goign to be in completley dark room. If you setting up in a pub then you want to go with 2500lumen + so as to deal with a little bit of life.

There is a also a differnence between business/data/presentation projectors and those for home entertainment movies etc. Data projectors will not handle motion and colour change very well much like early dekstop LCD's with slow ms repsonse times and bad contrast ratios.

If you're going the projector route do it properly or dont do it at all.
