Hi all, I am looking for a projector to project pictures and movies from my (to be newly achieved 2.66) iMac. It is to be used in my living room, and need not be ultra-portable. It should however be very good at black and white "slide show" projecting, with blacks being deep, a wide range of grays in between, and with adequate resolution. Also, I would like to be able to view high definition movies, but I am not at all familiar with this (dvd)format yet, as my G4 1.5 12" Powerbook struggles with HD-content. Ah yes, of course price is important as well...

It would be great if you could share some advice, recommendations, experiences, websites etcetera. Thanks!

That confused me at first, when I saw the thread. I don't think I can help here at all though because I know nothing about projectors. I have really fallen behind in the entertainment technology realm since I got rid of my TV and HD came to the US but no where else. It's hard to care when you are living in the dark ages of the UK.

Yes, a projector! I knew there was a better word. Thank you, native speakers, and thanks for the Amazon tip, I'll check it out.
