    PLV-Z2 and the HS20 Side by Side

    Read the user reviews on projectorcentral. There are many unflattering service horror stories attached to the Sony products. That alone would give me great pause. I am a PJ newbie, but the more I research the more I realize that this technology is barely past infancy, and reliability is still...

    Should I buy Sony or Hitachi LCD rear proj.?

    I can't speak specifically about the models in question, but I have a 2000 Model Hitachi non HDTV RPTV, and have been very happy with it, with no troubles in 3 years of very frequent use.

    Best HDTV projector under $1400?

    Best HDTV projector under $1400?

    What about the Epson Powerlite Home 10? This was released in September, but very little information is around on it. ProjectorCentral has some user reviews which are positve, but no "official" review done as yet. The Z1 is pretty highly touted here, how does bulb replacement compare to the...

    i have a pet peeve about calling the USA, AMERICA.

    As a Canadian, I'll come to Max's defense as well. The comment was not a slight to the "Americans", and that invisibility is probably wise travelling abroad. The unfortunate truth is that advertising you are American while abroad greatly increases your odds of having a Truck-Bomb parked under...
