Notes:

1. Anime is gay. Don't watch it.
2. It is interesting that they measure cables in meters in USA. I guess it's like with monitors which are measured in inches everywhere.

I've decided to select an inexpensive projector for my first one. I figure with just 2-3k hours of lamp life, in a year or 2, that'll give me an excuse to get something better.
