Guys I’ve been hammering my head lately what projector to chose for home theater.
I have tried so far regular SVGA with no video enhacement chips ;
Toshiba TLP (800X600)And Sharp SVGA DLP (800X600) – very compact unites, but
Both have a ‘screen door’ effect.
Infocus –X1 – SVGA (800X600) with Faroudja chip – no screen door effect – even basic (not HDTV) channels look good.
But the unite its very bulky…
I have never tried for home video any XGA Projector.
Do they have ‘screen door’ effect?
If XGA is not meant for home video is it still going to deliver smooth no digital artifacts video like the SVGA with Farougja DIS??
How does a regular video signal ( basic (not HDTV) Satellite channels tru DTV or Dishnet) look like if the XGA has no Faroudja or any other DIS?
So what should I buy:
SVGA with Faroudja or XGA without???
I have laid my eyes on the following projectors @ Fry’s electronics;
Optoma H31 Home Theater DLP 800x600 3000:1 contrast ratio $1,299.99
Optoma EP738 DLP Projector 800x600 SVGA2000:1 contrast ratio $899.99 - my choice
Optoma EP739x XGA (1024x768) DLP Projector 2000:1 contrast ratio $1,599.99
Optoma EP738 DLP Projector 800x600 SVGA deliverers ve-e-ry smooth picture for a SVGA ( no screendoor effect whatsoever ..very compact unite (Size of tel. answering machine), very good price…
Is it worth to spend more money for the XGA version?
