Well, after checking reviews all over the net I was about to buy the -PT-AE900U then I read the reviews for the AX100U. I was sold. I searched many stores for a demo of this new projector in action but found none. There are fewer stores that show demos these days. To make it worse the few demos I saw didn't look good at all. It appears they were improperly set up. I saw Sony's new 1080p projector in one store, which looked good but my old Sharp DLP 800X600 pixel projector showed a better picture. My guess is they had it running a normal DVD through a composite cable, whereas I use a component cable for my setup. Cable lengths probably also added to their picture issue.
To say the least I was unimpressed. If I did not already own a projector and know what image quality it was capable of I would have not proceeded further, if a USD10,000 sony 1080p projector looked that unimpressive, you would think to stick to LCD or plasma TVs! If I had spent all that money on a demo room I would have a HD or Blu ray player and HDMI at the very least.
To cut a long story short I bought the AX100U and from initial start up was very impressed. I haven't even yet connected it properly and tested it with an HDMI cable and HD-DVD or Blu ray yet the picture off DVD was amazing and bright like the LCD TVs you see on display in Best Buy. Wow!
I'll write a longer report once I've put some more hours on it. Before I forget, it looks smaller in the pictures than in real life, but not too big, manageable. The sony 100W? is BIG!
