I wouldn't recommend buying a used LCD projector. Many models, including the Panasonic ae300 I once had, are prone to develop color blotches, color stripes, or even an overall color cast due to degradation of the polarizers and optical block. This can happen in less than 1000 hours of use...
Heh, I also agree! I just bought a Sony KD-34XS955 and I am finally in video nirvana, after over 2 years of being in video hell. I've given up on digitals. I have yet to see a digital in that price ballpark that has a satifactory black level (not to mention all the other artifacts and wonky...
It's a scam, and an annoying, recurring one at that. Basically you have to build a box around a TV and put their cheesy $3 plasic "lens" in the front. The image from the TV is then projected onto whatever wall you point it at, except that the image is upside down (unless you turned the TV upside...
SOLD For local pickup only. I live in Marietta GA, near Town Center mall. What's for sale: I have a 92"x52" da-lite da-snap fixed wall frame and two matching snappable screens: high power and da-mat. I am asking: $395 for frame + da-mat material (costs $1123 new!) OR: $465 for frame +...
Asking $550 PLUS I am throwing in 92"x52" da-mat matte white 1.0 gain material that also fits on this frame. This is dalite's mid-end fixed wall frame (better than the permwall and cheaper than the cinema contour). The highpower material is retroreflective with a 2.8 gain, and it is as close...
Welp, I'm now pretty much sold on getting a good 2-speaker setup (maybe with a sub), and then looking at 5.1 again sometime in the future. Anyone got opinions on the Ascend Acoustics CBM-170's? I've read they're very "musical" for the price - about $320 a pair direct. I'm used to the great...
Wow, what a great forum! Thanks for all of the replies so far! I must admit that I'm becoming more partial to the idea of getting quality mains & receiver now, and then getting good surrounds later. I don't know much about audio, but I have heard that getting an "A" rating from stereophile is...
Hi guys! After months of research on the video side, I've finally reached my video nirvana: a panasonic ae300 fed by an rp91 dvd player projecting onto a 90" widescreen highpower. Unfortunately, I only have headphones right now - they're really good, Sennheiser HD580's fed by a headphone amp...
