If you have a room that can be made quite dark while watching the TV, you should consider a DLP front projector. They are designed to handle computer images and would not have any burn in problems for video gaming. I think the DLPs start at under $2000 (panasonic AE 100). If you have ambient...

116" width is very big for most projectors which are priced new under $4000. If you really want 116" width, a used DILA G11 would have a resolution of 1360 X 1024 (approx) and would be well within the price range. The challenge is to find a good source for used of course. YOu may also want to...

I would encourage you to buy a DC2, if DVD Audio/SACD are not important for you. I have tried the following processors in the past 8 years: Onkyo 919, Fossgate (3.5?), Lexicon DC1 and then the Dc2 since it was introduced. Movies really started sounding like movies only after I switched...

It may not be wise to get a hdtv in your situation. In my area, with time warner cable, the first 100 or so channels are still analog. If you get a digital box, you will get some digital extras (program info etc.) but basically the picture is still analog. In my case, the premium channels are...

Rob: As I wrote earlier, please do not hesitate to use the cheap RCA cables for component inputs. If you do buy expensive cable, please be sure that it is returnable. Perhaps you can post your experience after that?

I really do not want to start a debate/war over the advantages of good cable. Such advantages are more critical for high end applications which include large screen projectors, scalers etc. For the most part, the $2 radio shack cables should do just fine for you. Just try to use ths shortest...

If you are seriously considering a purchase at a certain price point, I can offer proper advice. As an example: Sony 10ht is considered to be a decent LCD projector. I don't know the actual price but I think it is around $4000. A good deal in a CRT today would be a Zenith 7" CRT (I can...

TimG: Re "Need a roommate? ", Yes, if you are a gorgeous girl but were only using Tim as a psuedo name. Kimmo: You are partially correct about the noise. Yes, the projector is quite noisy. Not as bad as a plane take off but quite noisy. It is certainly bearable and not annoying but it should...

Your question: Is a DLP as good as a Videkron with a quadrupler? Answer: No. Videkron sells 8" and 9" projectors ($35,000 to $50,000 range). Add scaler at about $4000. Those projectors would be clearly superior to the DLP but are obviously not in the same price range. By the way, the Videkron...
