Does anyone have any recommendations for a new projector?
We have a budget of up to £1000

We bought our Church projector a couple of years ago and we're very pleased with it. It's an Acer PD523 which they don't make any more, but was around £600. The only thing we'd like is for it to be a bit brighter, but it is already 2400 lumens! I've used a lot of Acer hardware and generally think it provides exceptional value for money whilst being of good quality.

If the lumens is high you should look at the screen as the gain may not be high enough to produce a decent brightness.

What do you mean by looking at the screen? The computer video card output or the projector screen itself?

We got an optima EP781 with 4000/4500 lumens in the end for £960 and a new screen for £300.
Vetto, you can get high gain screens which reflect back more lumens than are projected onto them.

Another thing to consider is the technology used ... LCD will not give you as bright and clear a picture as DLP, all else being equal.
