We recently acquired a Sharp PG D120U projector that we're very happy with.
For cost reasons, we had briefly considered an LCD panel, which would have
required an overhead projector, but after some research, we decided that a
good projector would provide a better return in the long run. The LCD
panels' reputation for short life spans was a major factor, as were
convenience, brightness and sharpness. We plan to have the projector mounted
on the ceiling and will use the remote for its operation.  We'll also feed a
VCR into it for film viewing.

The Sharp we bought came from Troxell, 1-800-352-7912, on special at about
$3,000 (retail about $4,500, if I recall). We use it on a Mac. The
instructors who teach computer methods classes (keyboarding, word
processing, email, web) in our ESL program love it. I've used it for
workshops for the faculty with great success.

I can send you a pdf of the manual if you'd like.
