Hi Deepak,

Probably you are looking for upto 2000 Euro models, because there is also a CRT projector type which is expensive 10000+ and generally for enthusiasts.

Simply both LCD and DLP has advantages and disadvantages. Depends your preferences.

LCD projectors generally has worse contrast than DLP counterparts, but new ones has quite high contrast values. Also LCD projectors generally have Vertical Banding problem, that is vertical lines/bars with alternating brightnesses.

DLP projectors have good contrast values, but some people are very sensitive to the rainbow effect caused by the rotating color wheel used in DLP projection technology. Simply, white colors display rainbows.

Check some of the AVS forums, and have both types of projectors demoed to see if you like/dislike them.
