GOOCHY posted:A guy on one of the A/V boards I read is selling a Sanyo PLV-Z60. I should note that I have no association with this guy and have no idea of the quality of this particular projector. The model itself is great from the reviews I've read. does anyone think this is worth it? How well does a $600 NEW projector hold up against this?? like an optoma.

Devian666 posted:The projectors are two different categories so apples to pears. i meant a $600 optoma not an HD20. I dont really have an interest in 1080p right now. One thing im having an issue with is whats the cheapest screen out there? I know theres cheap DIY solutions that require making your own frame and stuff but is there anything easier than that? Im only going to be in a location for a year or so and dont want to spend a bunch of hours building a DIY screen for me not to be able to take it with me after a year. edit: read the thread a bit, looks like black out cloth is the way to go. Im thinking around a 92" screen (which is about 6 and a half feet tall so i can fit it through doorways easily). the throw distance will be about 14-15 feet. im also looking at the epson home cinema 720 which i can get for $800 from tigerdirect after cashback. combine that with the rebate for a free bulb (which is like $300) im looking at a 720p projector for $500. Is there any big flaws with the epson compared to the sanyo? this is going to be probably used mainly for xbox 360... right now the $800 price with free bulb is looking mighty tempting. edit 2: http://www.visualapex.com/accessories/accessory_details.asp?chpartnumber=V13H010L39&Type=LCD_Lamps is this the cheapest place to get lamps? $350? my god. i guess when both lamps die in like 6 years i just wont buy another one and instead will get a 1080p projector for like $500. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Sep 14, 2009 |

GOOCHY posted:I think you'd be really happy with the Epson HC720 - it's a really nice projector with a nice, sharp image. Real bang for the buck right there, for sure. the main draw of the epson is its the cheapest "good" 720p that appears to be out there. I wish instead of having a bulb rebate they just gave it to me for cheaper, considering i really couldnt see myself buying a $300 bulb for a 720p projector in 2 years or whatever when the drat projector wont even be worth $300 by itself.

King Hotpants posted:The Epson Home Cinema 720 is one of my favorite 720p projectors. I still have one around here somewhere. My point was lest say both lamps last 2000 hours. combined they will last me about 5 years, i cant imagine buying another $350 lamp for a 720p projector when 1080p projectors will probably be $500 then.

The March Hare posted:Alright, I've got around a 1,000 dolla budget and I'm in the very fortunate position of working at a place that sells projectors. one thing to keep in mind is epson cinema 720 has a rebate for a free bulb, which if you plan on keeping the projector for a while is basically a free $300. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Sep 29, 2009 |

King Hotpants posted:In my opinion the Viewsonic 8100 looked like crap when it was released and is only going to look worse now that it's outdated. Spend the extra few hundred and pick up an Epson Home Cinema 8100, which sells normally for $1499. Its $1400 on amazon, so $300 difference. what exactly looked bad about the viewsonic 8100, a lot of people favorably review it. The lovely dynamic iris has apparently been fixed by firmware... i cant really find unfavorable reviews about anything besides the iris. Also do higher end dlps like the hc3800 have color wheel problems? i really cant stand the RBE. However it seems to have really good contrast. looks like the hc3800 has 4x just like the hd65... lame. I would probably still see it. I really cant stand it and neither can any of my friends (5 of them have watched it, all 5 of them noticed it and think its irritating). It blows my mind that some people claim to not see it. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 10:38 on May 2, 2010 |

King Hotpants posted:I know, right? This is why I tell people to stop looking at projectors until they're ready to buy a new one, because most of the time this year's model will make whatever you own look like dogshit. Hmm, not really Ive seen epson 8350 vs epson 8100 (i own 8100, cousin owns the 8350), we cant tell a difference. If you get a great discount on an 8100 you arent going to wish you went with the 8350. Similarly im looking at JVC D-ILA projectors and the only big improvements over the past 2 years in the same price category have been projectors adding 3d and slight picture improvements. If you get a quasi-4K jvc its still going to look good.. if you pay the same price for a used jvc 4k as a new one then obviously its not a good deal, no ones going to look at their picture and pine for the latest and greatest however. Youre right though if you take into account that a lot of people ask a lot for old projectors, then whats worse is people actually spend that much on old projectors. People spending $800 on an epson 8100 bewilder me, it was going for $1000 new in its last months, and you are going to have to buy a new bulb anyways, so you could have just bought an epson 8350. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 06:06 on Jul 17, 2012 |

King Hotpants im looking to upgrade my 8100 Right now i have a white elite screens, im going to use wilsonart fashion grey screen for the new setup. What i want out of a new projector is: 1) better black levels 2) less motion blur The 8100 is bright as gently caress, so i dont see lumens being a problem (i run it on eco lamp mode) 14 feet away on a 103" screen or so. I absolutely hate DLP rainbow effects, i cant stand them and neither can my friends, but i dont want lcd induced motion blur either. Only options seem to be JVC? High end mitsubishi? I need lens shift of course. 3d isnt important, if it has it, great, if it doesnt, dont mind. I want to spend around $3000 gently caress the mitsu hc9000d is $2940 at projectors people drat that is nuts. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 07:37 on Aug 13, 2012 |

King Hotpants posted:I don't have numbers on the Optoma stuff but the Epson 8350 is fast as gently caress with input lag. It's been tested at like 15ms, which is as good as it gets (the Epson 3010 is up around 105ms, for comparison). I will want to play my 360 on it, but its mostly for movies Id have to see a 6x speed, i had a 4x speed hd65. I saw RBE several times every minute depending on the amount of highlights in a scene. Even if it got cut down to once a minute i still wouldnt want a DLP unfortunately, that sort of stuff drives me up the wall. Are you saying the epson 5010 has input lag on 2d as well? My epson 8100 is perfectly fine for call of duty. No opinion on HC9000D or any JVC models? JVC looks like a bad time to buy because new models are coming out soon. id love to get a jvc with nice black levels for like $1.5k even if it only had 2d.
