Thanks both for your suggestions. The projector is an InFocus, I think the model is x1. It's several years old so it might not have the most "modern" inputs.

The other thing someone mentioned yesterday that sounds interesting is a Blu-Ray player (which would be an upgrade for our system) with streaming support. What do you think? Do these things literally only stream--or can you download a file to the Blu-Ray? I think we have pretty good bandwidth on our DSL connection, but I'm not sure that it's good enough to support streaming a movie....

The next time the bulb burns out, we might consider switching to a large LCD monitor. (IF we can find a monitor without a tuner). We'd miss the huge "screen" size that our projector throws on the wall, but I think the improved brightness/contrast/resolution of the lcd would probably make up for it....
