I am new to the HT Forum and must tell you how impressed I am with the educated and sincere responses. I am taking all the advice and experience I can get before making my decision. I was starting to move away from the DLP projectors but happily, I think I have seen the light. The new HT...

Thanks Gregg, Do they classify that model as a "Home Theater" or "Business" model projector? And if you do know the answer to that question, what is the real difference between the 2 classes of projectors. I work for Intel and can get most "Brand" name electronics at some discount but they...

What about this model from Plus: U3-1100ZW

Thanks for the clarification on the 3100 with 450 Lumens. Their new model is officially out in July with 700 Lumens. Spoke with a Plus rep who was helpful but made me nervous when he said 700 was plenty for home use. Based on your feelings, 400-700 Lumens would not be enough unless I was able...

I have a new home theater room, roughly 17x22 with 10 foot ceilings. No windows at all in the room. Researching DLP Front Projectors. Weighing all the issues of ANSI Lumins, ratio, resolutions etc.. Wanted to get opinions on what you might have or have seen that you would recommend as well...

Not sure where this type of product would fit in the market. I guess for those who only want a small screen, but then...

Two thoughts. Went to a HT store in Dallas and when they turned the light up at all, the picture quality dropped big time. The lights however were between the Projector and the screen. A buddy of mine just installed a PLUS FPTV with DLP in a media room at his home. The screen size is about...

Any experience with DLP front projectors. Have had some tell me to get 1100 ANSI or more, up to 2200. Had another source tell me that is overkill for a home theater system. That 800 is more then enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Testing reply

Spoke with a rep from PLUS Corp. They have several models of Front DLP Projectors. They range from 400 to 2200 ANSI Lumens. The rep said that 800 ANSI is all I need. Anything else for a home theater is way overkill and that I would be dimming the brightness down. Any truth or experience in...
