[LM_NET] HIT: LCD Projector Recommendation

[Linda DeVore <linda.devore@CGELEM.K12.AZ.US>]

Thank you for your input everyone.  It definitely reinforced the brand and
model that was chosen. Recommended brands were: Hitachi (the brand that we
are going with and specifically model CPS-240), Epson Emp-81 and Lite,  NEC
Model VT670, and Sharp XR-10.  Several people advised to avoid Infocus,
specifically the low- to mid-level models.  To quote one person:  "They will
not repair or sell parts, the bulbs are expensive, the cables are
proprietary, and they will only shut down with the remote. I know one
company that just throws them away when they burn out or stop working."  So
for those of you who are looking at the low-end models of Infocus, I would
ask for more money and go with either a higher end model of Infocus or go
with a different brand.
