| I got my PB8220 for $1600 CDN and I am very happy with it. However, there are some features that I wonder why they even bothered. I was looking for was a bright and high res projector, best bang for my buck basically and wasnt disappointed. Progrssive scan DVD player with component inputs looks amazing. Works well for anything with component video really, video game console or computer. 15 pin video input, again, excellent image. *Thought I had a dead pixel, turned out to be a nail hole :P When I first started it up the image didnt seem very bright, but after about 3 minutes it reaches full brightness. With lights on at night its only slightly less bright than my TV. Will be picking up a glass beaded screen soon, which should end up making it brighter than my TV. Comes with a wide array of video and power cable s, Remote with built in laser pointer, Leather carrying case. good height adjustment legs. Good construction on the unit itself and the inputs are well laid out. Didnt notice any rainbow effect. |
| Problems |
| Cons ( most very minor ): - (major)keystone adjustment is digital and looks like crap, will be getting an adjustable screen and adjusting that rather than using keystone correction. - lens cap will adjust focus and zoom when attached. - PIP only works for computer input. - Scenes with lots of white or a full white screen seems WAY to bright :). Was playing Counter strike at night and a flashbang went off ( totally white screen ) nearly blinded me for real. -If you power down there is a cooldown periodbefore you can power up again. Not a huge deal but long enough to be worth mentioning -Image seems to point up a little much, seems like if it was mounted above shoulder height it would have to point down ( by proping up the back with a something ) - Menu could have been done a lot better, very unintuitive. It gets the job done but after 2 weeks I find myself hating it more. Much like poorly done early monitor adjustment. |
