I'm just wondering the differences because I currently have the RW-12. I am thinking about upgrading to the SVS PC-ultra. Anyone else think that this is a good idea? How much better is the SVS over the RW-12? Someone give me some examples.
I have an infocus X1. The projector is set up 16 feet away from the screen and it is at your specs. 9' wide by 5' tall. Currently I have been playing around with different screen sizes. I have been very pleased with the new screen that I built for out-door use. I am projecting around 10' wide...
I'm not sure how much you want to spend on a screen. From what I have read if you do it yourself you can keep your wallet. Other wise screens are going to range from a couple hundred up to 5-6 thousand. Even with top brands I have read about people not getting a good screen. They tend to bend up...
this thread helped make my decision. I went with an Infocus X1. After getting it home I can honestly say that I made a good decision. Now if I can only get more control over the light issues during the day time.... It shouldnt be too hard... just a trip to the fabric store for some blackout type...
I'm in the market for either projector: Epson Home 10 or the X1.... If you could do a group buy on either of these projectors I'd bite. Where would this stuff be comming from? I dont care too much about shipping cost.... up to a reasonable amount. But I dont want to pay tax on such...
I have been looking at getting a projector for X-box and some movies. I would like a projector with a relatively cheep bulb that way it doesn't break the bank when it goes out. I was wondering if any of the people on this board have experience with any of the following projectors: Epson...
As you can see from my recent post I'm new to the whole HDTV hobby. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long the bulbs are going to last on the Hitachi 55" DLP. It says that the bulbs are $200 and I was wondering if this is high? How many need to be replaced? One of them or all three...
Costco had a disclaimer on one of their plasma TV's. It stated that the lifespan of the plasma was 20,000 hours. When you think about it thats about 5 years. Personally I'd wait until they profect the whole concept. I don't want to worry about burned out cells or images being burned on to the...
If you want to use it for playing games I'd highly suggest LCD. I'm thinking about doing the same. I also want to use it as a monitor for my computer. Anything other then LCD will burn in images to the screen. This happens when their are still images that are projected to the scren and they will...
I checked out Good Guys and Circit City with out any luck. They had some LCD projector style HDTV and some flat pannel screens but they were all out of my price range. I originally wanted to stick with the $2,000 price range until I found the PT-50LC13. It is a projector style LCD screen. Any...
I found a Panasonic PT53WX53 53inch HDTV for $1427 and the MSRP is $1700. I like this one mainly because it is within my price range and is a LCD screen. Could give me a real world review of the Z1. Does it work very well in an environment where their is light? What type of screen do you need...
I have seen several HDTV projectors for under 1400 USD. What I am wondering is which ones are better then others? If I am unable to purchase my friends projector then I'm thinking about getting a projector style screen. Both of my roomates like to play video games so burn in is something that I...
When I get everything hooked up I'll give it a little review. I cant wait to go home for X-mas. I had everything shipped to the home address insted of the apartment that I'm living in now. This next year is going to be better then last year for movies! Espically when I get all of the movies I...
I've had koss before and would buy again. They were very good sounding compared to others that are in the same price range. I mailed them in after they broke and a new set was sent to me. I used them on a daily basis and eventually broke the second set. But for the price I dont think you can...
It depends on what kind of sound you are looking for. I'd suggest to go out to some stero shops and listen to different brands. Find out what you like and then start from there. Every one likes a different sounding speaker.
Thanks for the replys. I have an aiwa system in the bedroom right now but an unable to play anything loud because of current living conditions. Townhouse limits anything to pretty much a soft listing level. I will be moving out of this place after this semester into a house with my two roomates...
Dont know about those stores but I just ordered from acousticsounddesigns.com.... I'll give yo a full report on them. I read some good reviews for this company located in Los Vegas. They were marked down way below the price of other stores that I checked out. Good luck on finding the right price...
I find that BB isnt really a good store to wrok at. From people who work there they say that management is pressuring the employees to sell. They make a sale but they do not collect anything in return. Other then not being harrased by management that day. After going to good guys I found...
Hi I'm new to the HT hobby. I have been listening to movies my whole life on dated equipment and cheep speakers. The receiver is over 30 years old purchased by my dad. The speakers are about 10-12 years old and we purchased them at radio shack on sale. They were $250 for a 12" sub and two 3.25"...
