| Personal Experience |
| At the behest of a local salesman (large commission box store), I bought one of these projectors. They didn't have any projectors on display to see, and he said try it out and if it wasn't quite what I wanted it to return it within 14 days no questions asked. The projector makes a very nice bright image. I found it watchable with the lights on, although the colors washed out quite a bit. With the lights off, it was pretty good. With high contrast dvd's like Finding Nemo, it was bordering on spectacular, but with low contrast dvd's like Two Towers, it was not as good. The black levels were pretty mediocre compared to say a crt projector. I found my best pictures came from hooking up directly to my computer at 800x600 or higher using the SVGA connector. SVideo was a bit fuzzy by comparision, and RCA output was around as good as TV output. I have no line doubler for any of these formats, and I suspect using them would clean the image up considerably. Screen door effect was there, however, at around 1.2 or 1.5x the screen width distance, it faded to unnoticable. Computer pictures were great, and ps2 played quite well. All in all, a very good projector, however, it's not quite the contrast levels I'm looking for. I suspect, however, that a good many people would find it to be an excellent choice. |
