Default DVD Projector


The LCDis the way to go. That rotating color wheels reminds me of some
of
the early versions of television.


Moving parts just don't cut it.


I have DLP with the color wheel. Zero rainbow effect. If you have a
light controlled room, brighter projectors are not what you want for
small to medium rooms. This is a common misconception. In fact, even a
low output projector like mine is often stopped down with filters. The
real element of these projectors giving theatre like images is the
level of true blacks....and this is where the Sanyo falls short in
spite of it's greater resolution. Also remember that extra resolution
is not noticeable unless you sit closer. A 4805 vs. the 720 units looks
the same with a 2.1 seating distance, but the 4805's lower lumens
output has it winning on most viewer tests. I have seen projectors
costing 18K and none are worth watching in a partialy lit room. That's
a subjective call of course. I prefer to watch my Sony LCD or now
elderly Wega 36 for that.
We're looking for a house (starting to look next week) and a dedicated
home theatre is part of the plan. I'm using Rotel amps and processing
for it along with a Canton HT speaker system and SVS subs. Revel
speakers will handle music. I can't wait!
