As the title suggests, i would like to know of a good shop in Lahore where i can get either a native 1080p projector like the Viewsonic Pro8200 or the Benq w1100/1200, or a 3d capable 720p projector like the Optoma GT750. Any help would be highly appreciated as although these projectors are available at homeshoping.pk, i would be more comfortable in purchasing from a physical store. My budget is Rs.100,000/- at max so that should be kept in mind. Also, Benq has recently launched w1070 which is a native 1080p 3d compatible projector, though i am not sure if its available locally, its international price is under $1000/-. Any info on its availability will be appreciated. All my ventures to Hall road and Hafeez centre have proven futile so far.

P.S. My main use will be for Home theater purposes i.e. watching 2d/3d movies etc. and gaming.

Please keep in mind that these projectors have a certain lamp life (some hundres of hours) and the lamp alone costs more than fifty percent of the projector price.

yes i am aware of that fact and also the fact that a majority of projectors now a days have a minimum lamp life of around 3000 hours and max of 5000-6000 hrs in eco mode, so they should work for a few good years i have my research complete; just cant find a decent place to buy the damn thing, thanks for the reply.

been to all these places, the only sony projectors that suit my needs cost more than Rs. 350k and samsung does not have much variety available here and those that are are data projectors, which are more suited to office use and lack proper motion processing abilities. visited all these places and e4u was the closest hit to the mark n yet not there they had a bit of variety on paper but none in stock, n even those do not exactly suit my needs. furthermore, all the models i mentioned above, are available in karachi, but i am yet to find a place in lahore, ranging from cavalry to defence to hafeez centre to hall road to places like sadiq plaza on mall road. there are many ads on olx and the like but none of these retailers stock the models i need or anything even remotely close. what i need is exactly categorised as either a starting range 1080p projector, that usually cost $800-900 in usa (e.g. viewsonic pro8200 - View Sonic PRO8200 Projector Price in Pakistan - Home Shopping ), or a mid range full 3d 720p projector that cost $650-750 (e.g. optoma gt750e - Optoma's GT750E Projector Price in Pakistan - Home Shopping ). my only dilemma is that i cannot find a single shop that even knows about these models!

Damn. Most shops have a variety of models on paper (as u said), but dont have in actual. My friend set up a home theatre system in his basement. I'll try and ask him.
