[Offtopic] Data Projectors

[Preston, Alan D]

Can anyone recommend a data projector brand and model they have bought recently?
And which companies do you recommend?

Requirements are:
Need to work well rooms that are bright (many of our rooms can get quite a bit
of sunlight) My guess is 1500 to 1800 ANSI lumens min.
Need to be teacher -proof (eg easy to set-up and easy to close down including
cooldown). Do any  models still exist that you didn't have to wait for cooldown
before turning off
?
Needs long-life and durable bulb that is not too expensive to replace
We are budgettig for about $2000-$3000. Is this realistic?
