I currently have a Plus He-3100 Piano DLP Projector with about 900 hours on it. I use it only for watching DVD’s, as the cable picture is pretty bad on it. I project on to a wall and surprisingly the picture looks fine to me and every one else who has seen it. The projector is mounted on the ceiling about 15 feet from the wall and produces a 100-inch diagonal picture with the 1.85:1 aspect ratio. It does have an over scan of about 5%. I would like to buy a new projector after the lamp goes, maybe the Sanyo Z4. I do have a few questions about the projector.
I currently have component cables coming out of the ceiling. I'm wondering if I feed a HD signal through them if the picture will look fine or do I need to get HDMI cables?
Will the ceiling mount that I purchased for the Piano work with the Sanyo?
If I produce a 120-inch diagonal picture in the 1.85:1 mode will the picture look OK?
Anyone know what the over scan is on the Sanyo?
I can’t believe the price is less than $1600 and you get a free extra lamp. Is there a new model coming out and that’s why the price is so low and you get the extra lamp?
Thanks,
Roland
