Great Projector, Especially for HDTV
|
I bought this projector back in 2004... Having a home theater had always been a dream of mine, but I didn't want to fork out unreasonable amounts of money to do so... The main reason I chose this projector was for its lumen rating, and the fact that Best Buy sold it, so I was able to purchase it with my brothers employee discount for under 1000 dollars, keep in mind this was back in 2004...
At first, I was dissappointed... I ran a s-video cable straight from my AV Receiver (sony str-de1075) into the projector with dissapointing results... I tried everything, even svideo signal boosters, but the picture was mediocre at best... Then I bought a VGA HD cable for my xbox 360 and plugged it into the unit and was shocked, the picture quality was clearly sharper and much more defined...
This led me to believe that using component could possibly give me a decent picture... I bought a DVDO iScan video processor on ebay, and ran the prjector off that unit... I was pleased, the picture wasn't as clear as a CRT, but still very good for a SD signal, especially when watching DVD content...
When i really became pleased with this projector was when I bought a Samsung over the air HDTV tuner... I ran a 35 foot Monster HDMI cable thru my ceiling into the projector being fed by the HD tuner, and my jaws dropped... The picture was insanely bright, super sharp, and amazingly accurate in terms or color... This projector really shines when being fed by HD content, so I would encourage anything to invent in this unit if it's purpose will be HD/BD/HD-DVD Content, you simply cannot get much better for the price... I am currently shooting it on a flat white wall, but have a Goo Paint Screen on the way, i'm confident that will make the picture stronger as well...
The bulb blew at about 2000 hours, a little dissappointing, but sometimes my theater room got really hot during the summer days (northern california) so i know that was not safe for the bulb... I got a decent deal from projector people, the bulb shipped overnight for 325 out the door, cant complain...
All in all, its a great projector... SD content is good with an appropiate signal processor, but HD is where it really shines.... |
