You can get the Matinee 1HD (aka Sanyo PLV-Z1) for around $1100, you just have to haggle a little like I did. Heck for $1179 I even got an extra, new bulb with it and still have the 3 year no dead pixel warrenty. The free bulb promotion is now over unfortunately, so I was lucky to get it when I...

If you can spring for $1100 you can get the Sanyo PLV-Z1 (aka Studio Experience Matinee 1HD) which is a 1/4 HD resolution LCD projector. I've had mine for a week, but had been researching it and others for 4 months. I'm very, very pleased with it. A lot of people like the Infocus X1 DLP...

I tried several dark room pictures and they came out very grainy looking even when I paused the dvd picture. The pictures do not do justice to the picture quality. This camera was never intended for night or dark shots. During the day it has incredible color quality, one of the reasons I bought...

My screen, a Da-Lite High Contrast Cinema Vision 119" diagonal, arrived a couple of days before the projector. Setup was a snap, literally. Though it has now been a week, the room still stinks of vinyl! I picked up the projector on Saturday morning after a visit from Time Warner and a new HDTV...

Thanks. I think with the power lense shift, it should work with this particular PJ. It's one of the reasons that I wasn't going to spring for the extra $2k needed for the Sharp 10k or Infocus 7200 DLP units. I've actually mapped out on my wall with low tack masking tape where the screen would...

I will be getting a Sanyo PLV70 / Boxlight SD20 in the next month or two. But I had some questions about how to place my screen in my room. I have a completely unobstructed short wall in my 18'x29' theater room to place my screen. Don't anyone get envious of a room this large, I only have a 7'6"...
