I'm not 100% against LCD, but DLP has always had more HT followers than LCD. I've simply heard better things about DLP. I guess I'm wondering what makes a company decide to choose one over the other...what went into the decision to make the 5000 an LCD instead of a DLP?
If I understad correctly, the 4805 is awesome but not true hi-def. The 5000 is hi def but not DLP. Any chance they'll have a sub-$2000 DLP Hi-Def projector soon? 'Cause that's what I'd buy!
Hey, Eric, I hear that there's an awesome one-screen theater in Hoopston (or Hoopeville or something) over by the Illinois/Iowa border, about 45 mintues from Champagne. I never got the chance to go, but I hear it's nice.
Strange question for this forum, maybe... My friend gave me an .mp3 years ago. It's Carpet Crawlers but Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. Both are singing on it. When I recently pulled it into iTunes, it said it was from 1999. Anybody know what album this was from? Some reunion disc? Thanks!
Hi, all, I'm new to the world of projectors, and I'm just curious as to what happens in the following situations. Assuming a 16:9 screen, please help me fill in the blanks: 1:1.78 animorphic: Fills the whole screen 1:1.78 non-animorphic: XXXXXX 1:2.35 animorphic: Fills the screen vertically...
Hi, guys, pretty new, so could you explain sde and rbe? Also, if you can get an 100" screen at 11' with the Z1 and a 72" screen at 11' with the 4805, what are you giving up when a projector has a greater throw ratio? Is throw ratio listed on a projector's features?
A question about noise for you 4805 users... Here's what I'd do if I bought it today...if I mount it 11.1 feet back in the room (the farthest it can go back because of a drop AC conduct) from a 7.5" ceiling, then I get a 72" inch screen (great for me since I've only currently got a 30"...
Howdy, folks, have been nosing around here and projectorcentral, and still have a few questions that I hope you can answer for me. 1) When they say that a projector runs at 36 db, is that a sound reading right next to the projector? Or from a set distance away? If a projector is four feet...
Thanks, guys, live and learn. I guess it once again comes down mostly to economics. Now, why are there only 5 guages of shotgun shells...10, 12, 16, 20, and 410? :)
Just curious...why doesn't anyone ever boast a 13.5" inch sub, or a 16.5"? Or 19" Is there something about the physics of a speaker which makes these sizes impossible? Or are companies just rounding up and down?
So what’s the shortest time between remakes? Off the top of my head I’d have to say Manhunter (1986) and Red Dragon (2002), 16 years difference. Two rules: no foreign to domestic remakes (Ringu, The Ring) and no updates by the same artists (Evil Dead, Evil Dead II). Feel free to mention them...
On the back cover of Shawshank Redemption, it says that SPOILER he's wrongfully accused. When I saw the movie, I wasn't sure if he murdered his wife or not.
When we moved into our house, the basement was already professionally finished. But every so often the "basement smell" is very noticable...you know, musty. So what's the best/simplest/cheapest way to get rid of basement stink? S
38 FOOT CEILINGS? Is that a typo, or are you in a log cabin? Wow. Anyway, if you can listen to them in your area, I'm a fan of Mirage OM series. They're great with music and could fill a large room.
A few years ago I bought a speaker cabinet. I thought it was old, but when I opened it up it had a very new look to it...a custom job, I think (good thing I only spent two bucks on it!) . Inside was a pewter/copper-looking speaker. It looks good, but has anyone ever head of Wolverine speakers in...
Wow, you learn something new every day. Thanks all for your input. So it looks like it can be done. Now the question is, is there any advantage to doing it? (from a tech standpoint)
Whenever I play DTS-ES, the display panel always says "DTS ES." But whenever I play a movie with DD-EX, the display is still "Dolby D." How do I know that it's picking up on the EX and not just giving me the normal 5.1? Do I need to switch it over so that the display says "6.1" or is that...
Now this may just be a mental exercise, but as I was washing my marble rolling pin this morning (and thinking about SVS cylinders) I was wondering if anyone (in the world that you know of) has ever carved a sub enclosure out of stone, either for box or cylinder. What would the advantages be...
"I can look up the exact issues of AUDIO those two reviews were in if you'd like?" Thanks, but no need, really. If I did that I'd just be making my friend feel bad if I get an SVS 16-46 PC+... by the way, at 16 hz how many db does a 16-46 measure? I'd always envied the sub, but now that I...
