I'm actually in the AV industry down here in Australia (
www.visionone.com.au). We work primarily in the commercial field, but I would strongly suggest Epson or BenQ for home theatre solutions. Epson have just released a couple of really clean/contemorary looking models:
EF-100B, EF-100B, V11H914153, Home Theatre Projector Laser Light Source WXGA Resolution 2,000 Lumens Light Output 2,000 Lumens Colour Light Output 2,500,000:1 Contrast Ratio Built In Speaker Bluetooth Audio Compatible with Streaming Devices Auto Vertical Keystone Correction 360? Installation...

Be sure to run a couple of HDMI cables and connect your projector to a media player. Wireless streaming options (Apple TV/Chromecast) could come in handy here for you also.
Also, pay more attention to contrast and resolution for home theatre. Ultimately, brightness isn't anywhere near as important as you're going to be projecting in a dark room.
Good luck!
