I've been involved in bonsai since the 80's. Got 35 or 40 trees. Mix my own soil, anneal my wire in the fireplace. Have to like working on them, because there's a lot of maintenance.

I cure and smoke salmon occasionally throughout the year. Cold smoke in winter. Vacuum packed and frozen. 9pm is snack and movie time here. Smoked salmon, crackers and a ridiculously large glass of red wine is the most important meal of the day here (or night I guess)

I pretty sure $3799 in the new price everywhere now. You just made it under the wire.

Sounds good. Yeah, it's hard not to love this thing. I'd like to hear how 3d viewing goes. I haven't seen anyone test it yet on Youtube or anywhere else. We're having a New Years Eve party tonight. I think most people will think it's a monster flat panel!

Not sure about Amazons pricing, but it looks like the new price for the P1 will be $3799. I'm glad I bought mine in Sep. After the $200 review rebate I paid $3100.

Projectorscreen.com shows that it's expected to be in stock 12/16. Optoma has a promotion that gives a $200 gift card for the first 200 reviews posted on their site or Amazon. I got mine a few days ago. I looked, only 105 reviews have been submitted. Maybe you'll be able to get in on that.

Yep, I bought mine from Projectorscreen.com. I dealt with a guy named Brian Gluck. They're in New Jersey. Good customer service. They're an authorized dealer.

Sounds good. Haven't tried any 3D yet. Hope they get the second batch of P1's soon, so you don't have wait like we did for the first batch.

I have a P1. I haven't tested out a Vava, but a few things to consider. Optoma is a long time projector manufacturer. Vava is a new company. The P1 has a 3 year warranty, the Vava has 1 year. The P1 only recommends screens up to 120". The Vava is supposed to go up to 150". The P1 is nearly...

Sounds good. I think we're all learning as we go with these new UST projectors.

I built a small platform 2 1/2" tall to hold my center channel and the P1. The exposure in the second picture makes the room look dark. It's actually very well lit. Love the P1!

I can tell you how I set mine up. First I set the projector on the stand sitting level and moved it around until the image on the wall measured 59" tall. (the height of a 120" 16:9 image) Then I measured the distance from the floor to the top of the image. Marked the top of the image with...

I asked on Amazon about replacing the light source. An Optoma representative replied "Hello - CinemaX P1's Laser Light Source has a light source life of 30K hours in ECO mode - 20K light source hours in Normal mode (Bright). The Light Engine, like a panel TV, is not end-user replaceable yet can...

I wish I could. I'm in Saint Charles, MO.
