The Bottom Line		Able to match the brightness, image quality, and feature sets of much more expensive models, the Dell 2400MP resets the bar for what you can expect from a mainstream budget projector.	The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors.		Sharp's XV-Z2000 budget HDTV DLP projector leaves a little bit to be desired in overall performance, but the price can't be beat.
