    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Good call Dan, me too. If the next issue of Perfect Vision or Home Theater mag doesn't have a review on one of these I'll be pretty upset! LOL

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Hi Dan, no I meant the 300 wasn't HD. If the 500 is going to indeed be in that price range that will definately be on my list. I can't wait till these models are released so some detailed reviews can be done on them!

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Looked into it. The AE300 has a MSRP of almost $2800. And its not true HD. Can't think that the AE500 will list for any cheaper. I'm sure the street price will be lower than the list price but as of right now the Z2 is looking awful good. My only reservation is the lumens output. Anyone have a...

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Well, I thought I had my mind made up on the HS20. Then I browse over at the AVS forum and read a 300+ post thread about the Sanyo PLV-Z2. This projector looks awesome and is available for just under $2000. I haven't found any prices on the HS20 yet under $3000. The contrast ratios on both are...

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Thanx Neil and Lawrence! It appears that I will wait for the HS20 and get that one. Its contrast ratio is far improved over the HS10 and has even better light output. Damn, it feels good to have finally come to a decision!!! I can't wait!:D PS My next consideration is a screen. I want the...

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Thanx for the reply Lawrence. When does that projector get released and how much will it cost? Are there any reviews on it yet? As to your projector, do you have any screendoor effect problems when viewing it? Thanx again man. Anyone else?:)

    Sony Cineza VPL-HS10 (anyone seen it?)

    Well, I've been patient, researched rear and front projection TVs and have decided to build a home theater the right way - with FP. Now I gotta decide on a player. I want a projector capable of true HD and have read a review on one that intrigues me - the Sony Cineza VPL-HS10. Its an LCD player...

    Question on 1080i vs. 720p

    What about the new LCOS sets from Toshiba? I saw where the 57 inch is now $5400. That set is 1080p native. Anybody seen it yet?

    Question on 1080i vs. 720p

    I am considering going with a DLP projection screen. Weighing whether or not I should go with rear or front projection. But there is one concern I have - will DLP projection ever reach full hi-def, that is 1080p like LCOS has? And I noticed that the Sammy DLP TVs convert all signals to 720p. Is...

    How much does an ISF calibration usually cost?

    Heres a brilliant idea - why not have the manufactors of these TVs have them properly calibrated for maximum performance when they leave the factory!! WOW what a concept!!! I mean, why does a company like Hitachi release a TV that is SO good when calibrated and so average when its not?! Most...

    How much does an ISF calibration usually cost?

    Whenever I make my decision on which TV to get I'm obviously going to have it professionally calibrated. But I must admit I'm a little PO'd about paying almost $500 or about 1/5 of the cost of the whole dang TV just to have it tuned right. I'm probably getting the Hitachi 57SWX20B and from what...

    I'll wait to buy my next TV. Here's why....

    LOL, you read my mind Jack!:)

    I'll wait to buy my next TV. Here's why....

    The thing that opened my eyes a little bit was that the new Toshiba 57 inch TV has some crazy resolution that is the maximum that a HD signal will show. It currently costs $9000. Now, when the price on that comes down that would be a TV that would have the best possible rendering of the picture...

    I'll wait to buy my next TV. Here's why....

    Tempt me some more Doug.;) Actually, if I buy one right now it would be that exact set. Too many great reviews and comments. Maybe I'll wait for the price to come down even more on it and keep my eye on future progress in the meantime, LOL:D

    I'll wait to buy my next TV. Here's why....

    I think I am going to give some things time to pass before jumping into widescreen HDTV. I currently own a 36 inch Trinitron WEGA but its not HD compatible. Still, in 16:9 enhanced mode I get a very nice DVD picture. Things are improving at such a fast rate with HD sets that its hard to keep...

    RPTV Dilemma

    Thanx for the help! Man, there is alot of choices out there nowadays! I read that PVM article on the Hitachi and saw that very editorial about Robert Harley actually buying the set. I also saw the review the Mits had in that mag, I read both the Hitachi and Mits reviews extensively. Another...

    RPTV Dilemma

    Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and am putting together a home entertainment center. I've been researching RPTVs and have come down to 3 finalists - The Mitsubishi Diamond or Platinum series 65's, The Hitachi Ultravision XWX or SWX lines or, a late entry, the Theater Wide Toshiba. I'm...
