BenQ MP512-ST Short-Throw Projector

The lamp life of the Benq is about the same as any other projector bulb.

Personally, I'd go for the Optoma - it's a dedicated home cinema projector, and will still be able to project a reasonably large image as long as your room isn't too small (but if it's really that small, a projector isn't really a sensible option anyway).

Take a look at Epson projectors too - they do a range of home cinema projectors as well - also Panasonic.

I have been reading the messages for the benqmp512st . Everyone has helped me, so firstly thank you! I can not spend as much as most of you, but I really don't want to get this projector if it will not work the way i want it too.
I sing and was wanting a projector at the back of me and put some video loops on it with quite a fair sized background, some stages are not that large so i have to have a short throw projector.
Wheres the best places to get them?
thanks:
