| I must say, we are VERY impressed with this machine. It's attractive (which doesn't matter much as it hangs from a vaulted ceiling) and easy to use. The stunner though was how quickly this thing can be setup and display a stunning HDTV image. I'm using a fairly long length of HDMI cable (with DVI adapter end) as well as component cable (Audioquest silver - 2.5% I think) to connect DirecTV HD, Tivo, DVD, and aux inputs. The DirectTV HD sources are stunning on the 'PC' side of the device. All images seem to loose some definition on the 'CP' (component) side. I'm not sure if it's the projector or my cables (and I can't swap out cables easily as a test.) Fortunately the only thing I use 'CP' for is Tivo replays and my son uses it for his PS2. Considering we paid just under $4k and got a free Benq LCD TV in the deal I couldn't be happier with this projector. My next acquisition will need to be some sort of blackout shades as my screen gets washed out quite a bit during sunny times of the day. |
