| Personal Experience |
| I started out with a 4805 for about 3 days. Besides the headaches, the color seemed off even after calibration with Avia, and the image looked, well, digital. When I exchanged it for an H31, I knew I had done the right thing. The image is ALOT more filmlike, the colors just pop off the screen and add depth to the scenes. I was even able to watch the H31 on a bare wall with no distraction or poor picture. The finish on the H31 is alot more "serious". It's throw distance is shorter than the 4805 which makes it ideal for smaller rooms or closer seating distances. It has more aspect ratio options than the 4805, and is whisper quiet. I mean QUIET! But the biggest reason I highly reccommend the H31 is because of the SDE (screen door effect) is probably cut by half over the 4805! This is key, along with color, to enjoying a movie and having it feel like film. So, are you the type that buys the "home theater in the box" packages? Or are you the type that picks the best components (in their budget) and builds their own theater? Ford Escort (4805) or Toyota Prius (H31)? For DVD movies, the H31 is the clear winner. As a toy for the kids or outdoors, the 4805's big rugged plastic housing is the best choice. |

| Wish it had a built in speaker in the unit to take outdoors. Long DVI cable runs (20ft. or more) have trbl with the H31. |
