i need a projector but don't know which to get

[lockedclaydoe]

What projector can I buy that I can use in my barn. The wall I project against will be about 40 feet away and id like a 200" screen. It would be used for gaming and movies so I would like decent quality although doesn't have to be top notch. I'm hoping I can work with a budget of $300.

This calculator -- http://www.digitalprojection.com/calculator/ Can help you figure out the requirements. If you have 200 inch diagonal screen in a completely darkened (think movie theater) then you need 1750 lumens. Finding a $300 projector with that output may be difficult.
This site lists projectors with 2000 lumens -- http://www.projectorcentral.com/popular_classroom_projectors.htm But notice the costs are $600+
