New Sub 1k 1080p Projectors

[JimMcC]

What do you mean by: How it handles 1080p material?

 

[Smith P.]

Mean 1080p24 source - from Blu-ray or Dish/DTV HD receivers.

 

[teachsac]

No it didn't say how it handles 1080p/24. I know it accepts it. My "guess" is it is probably refreshed at 48hz. I'm trying to get hold of my rep. He hasn't returned my call.

Should have read it first... dude is biased

I just read the review at Projectorcentral, and it sounds pretty good. As one would expect with a bright projector like this, the black levels are described as "middling". Now I'm waiting for the reviews of the new Benq and Vivitek.

Same here Jim... watching my old HD1000U right now... and it still looks pretty good to me

Amazon has them...

I am wondering how his projector would compare to a 67" Samsung DLP 1080P with LED bulb in picture quality.

[vurbano]

I wish I had a dark room and a flat ceiling. I'd love a big projector screen. My living room area is the most un theater friendly area I have ever seen. For video or sound in every imagineable way..

 

[dfergie]

You would be surprised how good today's projectors look with a little light...

 

[JimMcC]

Projectorreviews.com has also reviewed the HD20. I'm waiting for the reviews of the new Mits. HC3800. That will probably be my next projector. A little more money, but it sounds like it will be worth it.

I'm surprised they're selling it. Just for kicks, I put it in my cart to see about an ext. warranty price, and no ext. warranty pops up.
