Projector time - any suggestions...

[instrotech]

Hey everyone! Been a while since I been around. Really miss this place....

I will shortly be looking at a projector and know absolutely nothing about the buggers.

Any suggestions on what to look for, or what I need to consider in relation to this?

Cheers.

They will probably tell you but if you are goin to use the projector alot stay away from the panasonic they have bad warranty terms..

It seems like the Epson Home Cinema 1080UB and Panasonic AE-2000U are two of the most popular 1080p bang-for-your-buck projectors at the moment. (these may have different model numbers here in oz though)

Try the link below as a start, just keep in mind that that's only ONE website and to keep your research varied. Any half-decent shop that's local to you should answer all of your questions and be happy to demo whatever material you'd like to see:

www.projectorcentral.com is a good source of info and reviews. remember with projectors that light control is EVERYTHING it makes or breaks the quality of the image you will get.

also I have purchased from www.pricejapan.com in the past with excellent prices.

I also purchased a projector from www.pricejapan.com. Great experience. That was 5 years ago, geez time has flown.
