Maybe I can pretend I bought a cheap-ass RPTV that I will throw away in a year or two!For the price of a Z1, that's not a bad idea! A good PJ to "tide you over" until the "perfect" one shows up!
What I find amazing is that you can even consider it, and perhaps even keep it after experiencing a very good DLP unit like the HT1000!
I am using a High Contrast Matte White dalite screen with my PLV70, and I think the blacks and contrasts are great. Of course, I don't really know any better, either.
My biggest problem now, is that I have started seeing horizontal bands on the image in light scenes. Photo examples here. I even called the folks I bought it from and Sanyo about it. Oh- check out the blacks on the top image on that screen! It is a very bright image and the black letterboxing is virtual indistinguishable from the screen's matte black surrounds.
Well, tonight I figured out what it is...... They are ripples on the screen itself! They move with the screen, not the PJ (if I do lens shift or move the PJ). Duhhhh:b
I'm going to have to look at tensioned screen options, I guess :frowning:
