DVois Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 I just received a 96 inch DRAPER pull down screen and now I am looking for a nice Projestion system to use it with. I am not familiar with projection and don't really know where to start my quest for a resonable priced and good looking system. I have between $1500 and $2500 to spend. All I use is DTV and my H/K DVD 50 for viewing movies and TV.

M6 Driver Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 www.infocus.com they offer DLP which price is comparable with some larger rear projector sets and thats with a screen to boot. Just because it's not Runco or Yamaha doesn't mean their not worth a look. ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Runco is excellent, Yamaha does not actually make their DLP projectors. Sony has a nice one (such as the Sony VHT10/11) Sharp XV-Z9000U DWIN TransVision2 Yamaha Runco now, not in that order, but those are all great ones. not cheap though, all but the sony are DLP, which I prefer above LCD which is what the sony i listed was, but sony has non LCD projectors. The yamaha DLP projector should be going pretty cheap soon if not now since they are not making any more of it, nothing wrong with it, but a new one will come out soon, hopefully. ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomer9911 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Try the Piano 3100 or the Plus 810Z for DLP. At 3 lbs a sweet unit by The Lightware\Plus Corporation out of Japan, the no#1 DLP manufacturer in Japan. They have been in business for 4 yrs and have 1.5 "bil" of revenue....OUCH...The Infocus is nice, oh yeah, as well, the Sim2 out of Italy is awesome, but starting at 9K(CDN) for the Infocus and 15K+ to start(5 models)for the Sim2. When a 65" TW RPTV goes for 6K, hellloooo... LCD is history, CRT will be around for awhile. A recent review pitted the Piano(3K) against the 12K Sharp,guess who won....... You want a quality DLP Projector for bang for your buck, check out the Plus.

NOZ Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 DVois, I just purchased an Infocus LP350 brand new in the box off a guy on Ebay for $2500 U.S. I should be getting it in about a week. I also just purchased a Draper Premier power screen 96" x 72", which I should also get in about a week. I'll let you know how it is when I get it set-up.

boomer9911 Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Yes, please let us know how it goes NOZ, I'm quite interested on your review of the Infocus(I saw it on a DaLite screen myself 100" diagonal, with "Behind Enemy Lines"), wild.

BLOOMIS914 Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 For just over $4,000 you can get a Sanyo PLV-60/Studio Experience SE-13HD LCD with native 16:9 panels. I own the SE-13HD and use a 52" x 92" (106"D) screen with it and the picture is simply stunning. I compared with the Sharp Z9000/DLP, Yamaha DPX-1(DLP) and the Sony 11HT(LCD) and the DLP's were a little better but no way worth paying $5-6K more (Retail is around $9-10K for Sharp and Yamaha). Just make sure that you do your homework on the native resolution and what you will be using it for (DVD's, Cable, Satellite, Games) and how much ambient light in the room. I love my SE-13HD, check out the AVSforum.com for more info on projectors or studioexperience.com Good luck. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Blue Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Noz- I'm also very interested in hearing how your setup looks and works. i've been looking at the Yamaha DPX-1, and would like to hear about yours. Is it fully HDTV compliant? Does it have auto-switching between widescreen and standard formats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOZ Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I'll let you know on Friday, I know it's HDTV compatible, I don't know the widescreen switching thing yet. ------------------ NOZ SYSTEM Fronts: Klipsch RF-7's Center: Klipsch RC-7 Rears: Klipsch RS-7's Projector: Infocus LP350 Screen: Draper Premier 96" x 72" TV: Toshiba 37" DVD: Toshiba SD 3107 Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 7000 CD: Sony CDP CX250 EQ: Harmon Kardon EQ-8 Sub: Velodyne V-1012-B Spare/Back-Up: La Scalas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
