You’ve decided to take the plunge and go true home theater style—with a front projection system and screen. You just have no idea where to start when it comes to projectors.

The ProjectorPeople want to help out. They’ve got a bunch of deals going on during this month’s holiday shopping season, and they just launched a new Demo Room, where you can see and compare projectors in action.

Of course, the Demo Room is on your computer screen, so it’s not quite like a showroom demo, but the website does put it into A/B side-by-side perspective. It also gives you specs on each projector (including price) and it’s simple to compare—just use the pulldown menus to select the first and second projectors and watch the video go.

That’ll give you an initial idea of some of the differences. If for you the biggest differentiator is the bucks, then you might also want to check out some of ProjectorPeople’s super-savers going on right now.

Here are four that we’re particularly keen on:

• Sanyo PLV-Z700 1080p, 1200 lumens projector—$1,449 (after $200 rebate and SANYOSAVE coupon code)
• Mitsubishi HC5500 1080p, 1200 lumens projector—$1,479 (after discount, $500 rebate)
• Mitsubishi HC1600 720p, 1700 lumens projector—$749 (after $100 rebate)
• Epson Home Cinema 6100—$1,895 (after discount)

You’ll have to click for price or add to the cart (and enter related coupon code) for the discounted pricing. Happy projector hunting.
