Hello All! Just a reminder that the mail in rebate is ending at the end of July. Scott L, Sorry to hear about the bulb. There are a few things you can do to prolong bulb life (and please add on to this list if you remember something I am leaving out). Use low power mode. Turn on and...
Due to the actual technology, LCD inherently has more screendoor effect. You are passing light through the LCD panels. You need to be able to turn each pixel on and off, so the circuitry is built around each pixel. This creates a gap which makes screendoor effect more prevalent. In DLP the...
Okay, We now have an update. There has been a price change on the 4805, and that $100 mail in rebate now goes until June 30th. Give me a call, or shoot me an e-mail and I can fill you in on the specifics. I can give you a hint though, Thank you all for your support, keep up the e-mails, and...
Hi Andy, There is no disadvantage to mounting upside down. All it does is flips the image around. How were you planning on mounting it to the shelf? Were you going to use the InFocus ceiling mount for that?
Pat Frank is right. Right now you aren't using the scaler in the Denon. You are using the scaler on the projector. How do you have it hooked up? Component?
BrianMe, Great choice! That is my personal favorite RPTV right now. Love the brightness and the vibrant colors! Make sure you buy from someone who offers a return policy, however. You may think you'll never have to return it, but it is nice to have that peace of mind. SethC, The dimensions...
RussellTodd, Your best bet would be to wall mount the plasma, if possible. You would also need some sort of tuner. What are you using for an input (cable, satellite, or antenna)? Kevin, I would say go for a Pannasonic plasma. The TH-4PWD7UY is right what you are looking for. It is an ED...
Thank you all for your continuing positive input! Lets keep the information flowing! More news for you all! This is a good one, too! You now have your choice of the mail in reabate for the screen and 30 foot s-video wire, or a clean and easy $100 mail in rebate. I wish you could, but you...
RussellTodd, The Panasonic TH-42PWD7UY has been a very good performer for us. The black levels of the Panasonic plasmas are very impressive. The price on them is great too. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that you do need an external tuner, speakers, and some way to hold mount the...
Hi Kevin, Well, LCD vs Plasma is a fairly easy one. LCDs are fairly restrictive as far as size goes on the larger end, and Plasma is fairly restrictive on the smaller end. What size were you thinking? As far as ED vs HD, what were you planning on viewing most frequently?
Brian Fellmeth, I wouldn't want to sacrifice quality with either one. You can always pick up a component switch and take care of the dilemna that way. Jack Ferry, There is always room for more praise on this model! I think we all agree that it deserves it. Of course I sell these. If you had...
Hello all, I have had many people contact me recently (thank you all BTW). Probably the most common question is what will HD look like on the 4805. It looks great! HD simply contains more information, which equals a better image. It won't look as good as a HD projector, but for the price...
James, The 4805 $999 deal ended around Super Bowl time. There are some good deals going on, though. Go ahead and give me a call, and I can explain them for you. Because we are an authorized InFocus dealer, we can't post prices other than MSRP online. 1(888)286-5353 Ext 522 [email protected]
The LCD RPTVs are getting better too. The Epson Livingstation and the Sonys are pretty good. You have to be a bit farther away, but not as far as the LCD RPTVs of the past. I have heard figures all over the ballpart as to the percentage of people who see DLP Rainbows. I've heard 1% and up. I...
Hi Ted, The screendoor effect is an LCD trait. Because light is passed throught the panels, the circuitry has to go around the pixels, causing more space between them. In DLP there is something called DLP Rainbow effect. That is caused by the spinning color wheel.
BryanBoscomb, The biggest thing you want to make sure of is that they are an authorized online plasma dealer. There are only eight of us. And, I can tell you the Elites are not authorized for online sales. They are available only at selected retailers. They penalty for ordering from an...
Hi Greg, 1) The VGA cable that is included is a 15pin male plug. 2) It is a rebate, so the order has to be recieved, then processed by them. You are looking at around 6-8 weeks before you should recieve them.
Some Basic deal information that is current as of today 3/1/2005. 1) The 4805 is part of our Five Star program. So you have a nice 30 day risk free evaluation period. Five Star Program 2) There still is the mail in rebate for the free 76 inch screen and the 30 foot s-video cable. The...
Hi All, There has been considerable interest in the 4805 recently, and I wanted to open a general Q&A for this popular projector. It should save everyone time searching for info. If I can't answer your question, I can find someone who can. I will also post as much information about current...
You also have to keep in mind, if you want a really birght picture, and go for a higher gain screen, there is a sacrifice. The sacrifice most of the time is the viewing angle. How large a screen were you shooting for?
Scott_N, "Everytime I was over at his place I just saw the minor blurring in objects like a football being passed in madden" That actually sounds like you may have started to see DLP Rainbows. As far as the delay goes, that should only happen on a 480i input, like BenK said. But... as...
You are going to want to control your lighting and maybe use a screen with a bit higher gain, but I don't see why it wouldn't still look great. Of course, going with a bit higher end projector is going to have positive results as well. Keep in mind this projector is not HD. It is 854x480...
While the special pricing did end, the rebate is still good for the 76" screen and the free s-video cable. Go ahead and give us a call and we can discuss pricing on the projector. 1(888)286-5353 Ext 522
Normally there is an audio synch problem with Playstation 2s because it is 480I. What type of slowdown were you seeing on the Xbox? Was he using component cables and did he have 480P and 16x9 turned on in the Xbox menu?
DonRC, That is a very good point. Front projection gets you more bang for our buck, but there is more to consider when in the planning stage. Eric_Nathan, What is the lighting like in your room? Sometimes black out curtains are called for to keep the light at an acceptable level. It is a...
Hi Steve, I wouldn't worry too much about the cable card at this point. They are only 1 way right now. So you would sacrifice the cable supplied menu system, and any pay per view you may use. I would be more concerned about the HDMI, DVI inputs. It is a pretty good idea to stay with the...
Sounds to me like the AE700U would work great for you. You can get your desired 106" screen from 10.7-21 feet away. I personally like the AE700U out of the projectors you mentioned. Travis_R is right. You can get the BenQ for around the same price as the AE700U. The main difference will...
There are a few things that we need to know first. 1)How are you mounting the projector (ceiling or on a stand)? 2)How far away are you planning on having the PJ from the screen? 3)How large a screen are you shooting for? 4)Will you have control over ambient light in your HT room? 5)Is...
Thank you, Parker! You are right, we do focus supporting our customers before, during, and after their purchase. That is just part of the TVAuthority experience :) Just to let you guys know, there are only a few days left in the promotion. Sunday will be the final day. Thank you to all...
