davep Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 whats the purpose? Home theatre or data projection? If the former, i'd try and save a bit more and head towards a proper HT projector.
eliaswhufc14 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 just in my room for games and movies.

The mits 1500 is a better HT projector than this sharp projector. this is a data projector. There is a Sony VW50 for sale in fleabay put $1300 on it and you never know you may be able to snap up a bargain. Edited October 17, 2008 by jliang70
eliaswhufc14 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 yeah that sony looks preety good, has used 500 hours of lamp though.
Jliang70 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) yeah that sony looks preety good, has used 500 hours of lamp though. It is the same one I am using at the moment, a true 1080p projector and superior to many of the current 1080p LCD or DLP projectors and certainly superior than all of the 720p projectors you are considering. Definitely worth trying your luck on putting a bid on this unit. Edited October 17, 2008 by jliang70
eliaswhufc14 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 do you think i can get it at 1,000?
Jliang70 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 do you think i can get it at 1,000? No, you won't. It is a bargain even at more than $1500 or even $2500 but with the current economic envrionment you will never know your luck so if you are prepare to pay $1250 for an ordinary Benq why not put the bid on this projector.
eliaswhufc14 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 you see my room isnt like a professinal theatre, im just using it for games and movies etc. Thats why i think the Mits would probably be more suaitable for that.

If you can get the Sony for the same money as Mits then there is no way you would go for Mits. VW50's PQ will leave not just Mits well behind its tail but also much superior 720p projectors and it is also much flexible in its placement option than Mits with greater lense shift. Like I said earlier try your luck you may not get it but if you win the bidding it is much greater bargain than any projector you are considering.
Jeffie1503561482 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 if its for a common room with lots of ambient light the mitsu might be more suitable for him. no doubt the sony is the better projector though
