Thanks for your suggestions, guys! I'm going to check out the projectors mentioned if I can find them on display somewhere.

As for Twix's question about the 3:4 format screen: The reason that they are going to use a screen of this shape is because it has to fit into an area inside an existing cabinet, a very expensive cabinet that they don't want to part with. At least for the next few years, there will still be a lot of 3:4 programming on TV. And for many more years they will still be watching re-runs and classic shows like I Love Lucy and Andy Griffiths. If Gomer Pyle were to see himself in a re-run on a modern HD-compatible TV, he should still say "Golllleeee!" with same excitement he had for the picture on a analog-only set. Most HDTV-compatible sets look like crap on standard broadcasts. I have had more than one return of a top of the line Sony Wega TV because of a poor picture on normal cable broadcasts, even though it looks so good on a DVD-generated picture or an HDTV picture. I am very concerned about having an poor picture for 90% of what they are going to watch for the next few years. Sorry I got off the subject just a little, I guess thinking of Gomer Pyle got me distracted. I realize that the shape has nothing to do with the poor picture quality of conventional television broadcasts on HD-compatible TVs, but it is one of my biggest concerns about selling a projector to these people. Anyway, it's mostly a cabinet issue. I've gotta go now-- Leave It To Beaver is about to start.

Seriously though, thanks for your help. Additional input is greatly appreciated.

P.S.
It's the episode where June tells Ward that he's been a little hard on the old Beaver lately.
