    Recently, i just finished my basement and now im looking for a projector and a sound system to go along with it. however, im on a budget of about 1500 cdn. i'm looking for a projector with preferably hdmi so i can hook up my ps3. i have about a 14' wall on which i wnat to project it on to.

    in terms of audio, im looking for a home theatre in a box because the cost for a seperate reciever and speakers are a bit too high. so far, this is what i had in mind:

    Projector :Optoma HD70 720p DLP Home theater Projector 720p DarkChip2 4000:1 contrast ratio 1000 ANSI Lumens 16:9 Aspect Ratio 1.2x Manual Zoom and Focus HDMI/Component/VGA/RCA/S-Video Input

    Speakers: Panasonic SCHT740 5.1 Ch. Home Theatre System (i can get them for 389)

    or
    JVC THC43 5-DVD Home Theatre System

    one more question: what does usb host mean??

    EDIT: i almost forgot; i also need a screen or possibly some special paint for the sceen. and how bad does a projector look on a normally painted wall?can anyone point me in the right direction about this? thanks

    EDIT 2: Also, what about hdcp?

    Hey sukhvail Punjabi JATT

    i usually don't post here i am not a expert your set up looks ok but if you upgrade the project it will make a hell of a difference talking from experience

    go with the JVC speakers and since you got the ps3 get a better projector it might cost more but its worth when you have a HD hookup (your ps3)

    peace out
