The Moviemate is a great unit. My issue with it is that if you want to use Blue Rays, you have to connect a dvd player to a dvd player. If Epson made the 85HD with a Blue Ray player, I'd be all over it. The other "downside" is that it doesn't do rear projection. For a lot of people, that is no...

Oops! Forgot the link. Here it is: http://www.campchef.com/portable-screens.html?limit=all It will give you an idea for alternatives. If you like them, look around, you can usually fins them cheaper on Amazon than buying direct. I have the 120: screen (120sl) that I use for rear projection in...

You want a projector with at least 2000 lumens, 2500 would be better. This will give you a brighter image on the big screen and help offset whatever light you can't control. While a 720p projector is true HiDef, there are a lot of people using SVGA (800 x 600) and XGA (1024 x768) projectors and...

I understand about the $. The good thing about getting it from Amazon is that if it doesn't work for you, you can return it with no problem. I can also attest to the usability of the Next Gen remote extender. I have 2, one for in the house and one for the outdoor theater.

I've been using an Iogear GW3DHDKIt (wireless HDMI) unit for a while. It sends an HDMI signal through walls from a base unit to a receiver. I have the transmitter wired from my Dish Network Hopper and the receiver is connected to a TV in the garage. The distance is about 70 feet. I've had no...

I have an Optoma HD66 projector that is in incredible shape. I'm looking for an Optoma 3D-XL converter to take advantage of it's 3D capablities. Thanks 3/25/2014 Found one - Thanks

All I'm paying for is shipping ($25). I figure it should get me through until it's new projector shopping time.

I would be buying used right now. There are a few things I need to do around the house before I spend new projector money. A friend is sending me his Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 720 (he just got an 8350), According to it's specs, it should do what I'm looking to do. I'll find out this weekend.

I'm looking for a "once in a while" projector to use for occasional movies and sports. Due to every thing that can make a room bad for projector use (ceilings that vault from 8 to 12 ft, light colored walls, limited open wall space), there is only one place in the room to hang a screen. Ceiling...

Installed the bulb, projector seems to be working. The flashing lights are gone, but the "Auto Iris" feature had to be disabled. It was continually clicking off and on. The manual said that this happening would also cause the same flashing lights as a dead bulb. I'm going to use this for a few...

I ordered a non Epson bulb from Amazon yesterday - $65 w/local express delivery. It should be here this afternoon. Like you said, if it works, all will be good. I took out the filter and it is clean, but I blew it out w/an air spray can just to be sure. If the projector works with this bulb...

The manual says the flashing light is the bulb or something inside the projector. It does not stay on long enough to get into any menu. Thanks for the input. I may have to put in a bulb and see what happens. I found a non Epson replacement for $60. Worst case is I sell an "almost new" bulb to...

I just received an Epson 705HD projector that I purchased on Ebay. Prior to purchasing it, I spoke with the seller who told me it would light up, but because everything displayed was upside down, he didn't know how to check lamp hours. I paid $150 for it and figured on putting in an aftermarket...

Thanks, we'll check that out.

A friend bought a Sony VPL-CX21 projector from a pawnshop. It did not have a remote or the proprietary Sony cable to connect composite video to it. He did not try it before buying. We connected it to my laptop through the vga input and the video has a massive purple "shadow" on it. We then tried...
