I'm planning to get a projector by the end of the year
from all the talk here I want to just by the infocus 4805
but the headache problem with dlp I read about really scares me..
I wouldn't want to put my family through that.
so I'm thinking about the Panasonic PT-L500U
I think it has screen shift, I plan on just sitting the projector on a coffee table, until I buy a home.. hopefully next year. right now I say I have about 10ft from wall to couch..plan to place the coffee table somewhere in the middle. is this a bad idea?
its lcd so it doesn't handle blacks as well as dlp
is there sample pic of this? I plan to use it only at night, will I notice it?
how much is a replacement bulb on this..how many hours is the bulb life.
I plan to get it around xmas so are there any new projectors at this price level or less coming out soon?
and screens.. in this forum I read about an ebay seller called moakes that sells screen material, 100" diag for about $30.
this sounds really good to me.. I plan on getting that an just tacking it up on the wall..maybe get some black velvet to border the sides.
how would will this look? how does that screen material compare to screen by dalite or the do it yourself paint mixtures I've read about here.
so if anyone cant point me in the right direction on what projector to get
I want lcd /16:9/ under $2000 closer to $1500/ with screen shift (let me know if I really need this) / an image that will look nice on a 100" screen / I plan to use it for dvds and videogame consoles
thanks for reading.. hope you can help
