It's time to retire the ol' Infocus SP 4805, mainly because my warranty expired and i've got a couple of blown mirrors on my DLP chip producing a slowly growing dark wedge on my screen and I don't like the idea of owning a projector without a warranty, and looked around online and found the Optoma HD70.
By all accounts it looks to be a solid projector for the price and I was looking to get a projector that had a naitive rez of at least 720p (can't afford a full-on 1080p just yet) because I plan to get into Blu-Ray come tax time so this seems to suit my requirements, but how is it in terms of performance and quality? How does Blu-Ray look on it?
My main concern isn't the color since DLP produces outstanding color, my main point of concern is black level, can this projector give me the great blacks that i'm used to from my 4805? I don't want to go back to the foggy blacks produced by my X1.
I've read a couple of reviews online but i'd like to get the opinions of HTF members because I trust this forum more than some random reviews found on the web.
Thanks.
