Question Help choosing a projector

I have never had a projector before and I am looking for a good entry-level projector. I want to buy from Costco because of their warranty. There are no stores around here that have any projectors set up so I have to buy the projector without seeing it in action. The projector will be in my basement so the lighting can be controlled. I will use the projector mainly to watch sports, DVDs/movies and play video games. Currently I do not have HDTV.

My choices are:
Costco projectors

1. Optoma Movie Time DV10 DLP w/ 106" Panoview Cinema Screen = $999
2. Optoma H27 Projector w/ 92" Screen = $999.99
3. Mitsubishi HC900 DLP Home Cinema Projector = $1,199.99
4. Optoma H31 w/ 92" Screen = $1,249.99
5. Panasonic PT-AE900U = $1,599.99 <--------I am leaning toward

I have researched all of these projectors on projectorcentral.com, and they all seem to have similar reviews.

Thanks in advance

They will all do the job. Priced right and easy to use. Just go for it!

8 feet of screen is a good thing.

Personally I would not buy anything that is not at least 720p native resolution.
