I spend a LOT of time reading reviews and looking at TCO/parts/build quality/features. My previous projector had died and I wanted to upgrade to 1080 for my 7.1 home theater setup. THis one kept popping in reviews so I took a closer look.
I wound up buying this Viewsonic for a few reasons. Cost me ~600 bucks. Coming from a 2004ish Dell MP4100 it is a massive, massive upgrade.
Pros -
Bulbs are cheap - like 70 bucks, And have a long life that can be extended with economy modes.
Projector itself was very inexpensive for feature set.
Picture and bulb cost were biggest drivers of choice/price. I have a Draper 120" screen and the picture quality is superb at 120", about 12' worth of throw.
Unit is really feature rich and has a lot of business and consumer class features mashed up together
Unit comes with a remote which seems to work from every angle despite being IR
Build quality, fit and finish are spectacular, and viewsonic is known for having EXCELLENT hardware
Takes a cheap 12$ ceiling mount with ease
Warm-up is pretty quick, full light within 2-3 mins, cool-down is just as quick.
Has multiple HDMI ports including a streaming stick hideaway, also has VGA and RCA and does include 10watt internal speakers (though I don't use them I have heard reports they are tolerable)
Lots of different color modes/settings will fine-tune to your setup
Comes with a rear ass-plate so if you're a cable-management lunatic like I am, you will be pleased, really tidies the unit up if you're into seamless mounts
optics are great, and don't lose much tolerance to changes in heat (some projectors are very prone to this and are only in focus once hot), it's there but very negligible. this one also has optical zoom which makes setup a lot easier
Seriously this thing is loaded with features, you have to spend another grand to get the same featureset in a laser or LED, or to get to a reasonable 4k with lesser features
good warranty (it was 3 years I think?)
Cons-
HDMI Hideaway isn't really great for a cable-feed HDMI unless you don't care about aesthetics
No horizontal keystone means you have to mount center of screen (does have vert keystone)
No case included (not really necessary for a permanent fixture)
Short story, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Features for price is almost unmatched, bulbs are cheap, picture is excellent and bright. I have zero complaints for mine and I'm super picky when it comes to quality hardware. No picture jitter or page tearing either. Very smooth. I would expect it to handle gaming with no issues as well.

This is the one I bought after reading many reviews. It's good for use in a bright room, which was my biggest requirement. But there is a ton to choose from.
