    Epson 5040 suddenly very dark even with new bulb

    This has probably been addressed earlier, but there are so many pages, I can't seem to find it. So... 5040UB, have had it for a few years. Always looks amazing.

    Recommendations on Projector and screen for a film series in art gallery.

    I have a friend who is looking to install a large screen (140 or 150 diagonal) and projector in a professional art gallery.

    FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD Warner or StudioCanal?

    I've only been able to find one online comparison between these two very different releases (DVDBeaver). While the Warner sports a DD 5.1 mix and the StudioCanal 2.0 mono, the StudioCanal version was restored in 4K off the original camera negative and overseen by DP Nicolas Roeg. I know the...

    Can I use BD50 internal audio decoders but output through Coax?

    Looking into the BD30 or the BD50. I don't have an HDMI compatible receiver, but it is 7.1 capable. Wondering if I use the internal decoders (TrueHD, DTS HD), can I then send the 7.1 signal into my Denon AVR 3803 via Coax or optical and still get the 7.1?
