    Good Projector for $10.000?

    And by expensive, he means roughly $800 - 1,000 USD. Though the projector itself is absolutely amazing and can't be beat for the features it offers. It is one of the highest rated projectors ever, but that luxury does come at a cost. If that's a little more than you'd like, there are some...

    Projector ownership survey

    The Panasonic AE900U is wildly popular, but there are rumors of it being replaced after CEDIA next month, and that projector will be even more wildly popular. BenQ's PE7700 is also highly adored now that they fixed the bulb issue that it had at it's initial launch. With CEDIA being next...

    front projector,or plasma?

    To answer your original question, a projector would be best suited for your needs. A 3000 hour bulb would last you through about 1500 movies theoretically (in actuality, it's hard to guess, maybe more, probably less). So you may go for years before you have to replace the bulb. It's not so...

    Help with low end projector selection.

    IN72 is a great projector, and a choice for watching TV, DVDs and the like, but kind of lacks on the HDTV side of things. Other than that, that's a pretty good deal for a IN72, all things considered. If you wanted a higher resolution projector, you could get an Infocus ScreenPlay 5000 for...

    Help! Dust in my 4805!

    Unfortunately, lenses are very delicate and easily scratched, but I'm sure you already know this, so you really can't touch the lens itself. There are lens cloths available for the outside of a lens, but nothing for the inside. What I would suggest is to get a can of compressed air and blow...

    Any TVs currently on market that accept a 1080p signal?

    There are lots of rear projection TVs as well as Plasma and LCD TVs that will do a native 1080p. Off the top of my head here are some of the popular manufacturers: JVC Westinghouse Panasonic Sharp Philips and more are being added everyday. Chances are, you won't find them in...

    HD on an Infocus X1?

    This is kind of technical to explain, but I think I can do it if you bear with me here. The Infocus X1 or X1a will do HD, however, because it is not a native HD projector, it will need to do some scaling of a picture, and you'll lose a reasonable amount of quality in doing so. Because the X1...

    720P FP now, or wait?

    You probably wouldn't notice a difference between DLP and a LCD projector. The previous short-comings of both, either the Rainbow Effect or Screen Door Effect have been really improved on so as not to be as noticeable anymore. But when you compare the details side-by-side, it's pretty clear that...

    Unique, and BAD!, Sanyo Z1 Problem

    It might be that all 3 of the LCD panels got fried, especially if colors were doing funky stuff. I doubt it, though. What seems most plausible to me is that some type of Asic or something similar might have gone bad. Judging by the way that your remote also is being affected, I suspect that it's...

    Sony VPL-HS3 or Panny AE900U?

    AE900u, absolutely. It's one of the most highly recommended home cinema projectors on the net. While the HS3 has many positive reviews, the AE900u has amazingly more. The HS3 has also been discontinued since a few months before the AE900u came out last year. Despite not having HDTV, you can...

    Just ordered new FP! Moving into 720P land!!!

    The centered lens is really what I find most impressive about this projector, next to the picture it puts out. :) I suspect that you are going to really like it. Gratz man.

    Does the newest LCD or PLASMA HDTV last longer than 4 years?

    There are a lot of myths surrounding LCD and Plasma TVs, and most are unfounded. Hey guys, how do I recharge my plasma gas? Though your post doesn't mention any specific problems, I can assume it's probably either dead pixels on an LCD or backlights going bad. In theory, both LCD and...

    720P FP now, or wait?

    That's a pretty good deal after taxes. Really, if you are holding out for something better, keep in mind that there is always something better "just around the corner." Considering there hasn't been any official confirmations of 1080p projectors being released that are going to be...
