OK, I am still searching. Though I don't post often some of you may remember a few of my past posts concerning a new TV.
I was recently at ABT Electronics in Chicago. A huge store. Unfortunatly not much better than Best Buy. However they did have a couple FPs set up which pretty much sold me on the format. UNfortunately they didnt have any of the lower cost FPs running. The cheapest was a Samsung DLP that ran around $8000.
I am tempted by the InFocus X1. The reviews seem good. I am a little concerned about the brightness levels as I am definitely a fan of bright high contrast pictures. I am not sure I could learn to like the "cinema" modes.
I realize that the X1 is also only SVGA. My questions is: Since I plan on using the projector exclusively for DVD content (I will keep my 27 trinitron for cable) need I be concerned about the resolution? Isnt SVGA capable of outputting more info than a DVD contains anyway? I am obviously a bit cloudy on resolution.
Finally, should I be looking at anytign else in this price range?
