| Personal Experience |
| I have had this projector for 6 months. I am sending it in this week to have the LCD replaced under warranty for 5 bright green and 3 bright red pixels. The native XGA and high brightness gives stunning pictures at 80" (on a white sheet). I do have to crank the brightness way down on DVD's cause it's just too bright. I really need a greyhawk or other high contrast screen. I got the unit used from a dot.bomb so I cannot complain about the price which worked out to about $350 after selling off the second 3lb SVGA DLP projector I bought. The reason I kept this over the much smaller DLP was simple. The higher resolution and the infinite connection capabilities. Have a look at the interfaces: http://home.earthlink.net/~dhilgen/images/Picture%20019.jpg I use it for Xbox, DVD, PC (dual head) and I never have to unplug anything. For bright images like PC and video games it is superb, for DVD a little less so due to lack of true black, but it is still acceptable IMHO (I need a Greyhawk). The remote also has a cool laser pointer built in (good for rubbing it in when I beat my bro in sports game replays) |
| Problems |
| * LCD pixels burned out (warranty repair) * Occassional shaking of the image, probably due to the unstable carboard box it's sitting on. * doesn't scale up to 1280x1024 very clean * pixel structure, only a problem if you sit closer than about 8 feet away on 80" diagonal. * Fan is a bit noisy, but I am in a big room which negates that mostly * They put the switch from Anamorphic to standard in the LAST possible location in the menu options. It doesn't autosense and is a pain to switch it back and forth manually. Probably takes 15-20 clicks of the remote. |
