Any recommendation? Something that is value for the money.
I am looking to buy a projector to watch movies and play some playstation. It will be in the living room and some ambient light will come in in the afternoon. The projector will be around 4-5meters away from the wall.
I use a Sony SD for my PS2 - got it off Ebay.CH 9 months ago for CHF200 with 1200hrs of lamplife remaining. Lightweight and simple.
Theres one from Acer currently on sale in media market going for 500 chf.
Not aware of its reviews or performance though and also dont remember its model...just remembered the price
Hi,
Any other recommendations?
I am searching for a 'nice one' that I would use with the big screen.
What is your experience?
br,
karin
What is your price limit?
I bought a: Optoma HD700X, 16:9, DLP 720p Heimkino Projektor, HD-Ready
very happy with it.
Kassensturz are featuring 'Beamers' on their SF1 show this evening.
I bought the Sony VPL-HW10 from www.digitec.ch about 6 months ago. It is full HD.
I have it about 5m from the wall and even when you blow the picture up to around 3mx2m it is as sharp as anything.
It is a bargain at 2300chf.
That's half a Vespa...
Panasonic PT-AX200E, 16:9, 2000 ANSI Lumen, Game Mode
Available at digitec for about 1295 Sfr.
We have this and the previous model (as backup) as use it for our classes. It's a great projector and for the purpose you describe, should work wonders. Be sure to by a projector screen (ground glass reflective finish) for the best image.
Regards,
Bryon
I have seen one of these projectors in action and with the sharp picture quality and brightness you don't look like an effeminate Italian one bit.
That's disappointing, i will have to return it, post haste.
except half a Vespa is not very useful...
and certainly no good when you're trying to project a film ..
I'm planning on getting the Sanyo PLV-Z3000 which has a decent review here http://www.projectorreviews.com/sany...3000/index.php but most important to me, the cost/effectiveness of the projector is really quite good. It's not necessary the top machine but the picture quality is very good. You can find them online or pick-up from somewhere like Digitec http://www.digitec.ch/?param=toppreise&wert=160327 You can read the reviews at the Digitec site too. It's mostly positive stuff.
Also, the depth of the machine isn't quite as thick as others and will fit on many bookshelves.
Landi currently have an Acer P1340W for CHF499/ HD compatible with keystone correction (3 year guarantee). An early Christmas present for OH who has spent lots of time since retirement digitalising all his (1000s) of slides. It's small, lightweight, and come with a carrying case. We've just tried it and it is excellent quality- no distortion - and much much cheaper than all the others he looked at. Landi? Yes a great surprise!
Landi? Don't they sell shovels and cow bells?
I thought you were all speaking about the old projectors, with delicate brittle film and a Super 8 camera.
I'm still looking for one of those if anybody has one in good condition (the Super 8 projector, not the camera).
Sorry to butt into your thread
unless you have a very thick curtain for your windows and the glass door, the sun light will make the projector's image very unclear..
Does any one have any input on currently available beamers? I'd like to buy a newer LED model, and not spend a fortune. Not looking for a top of the line model- (blue ray quality, 3D, etc), just something to watch movies at home with a decent screen size and image quality. The content will come primarily from internet streaming through a Macbook, as I dont want to spend $ on cable or satellite TV. Any help would be appreciated...
Epson EH-TW3200, yours for about chf 1000 from the usual sources like digitec.
I assume you mean LCD rather than LED... LED hybrid projectors are still not mainstream products.
The epson I am recommending is an absolutely superb bargain and will give you great image quality for a very reasonable price.
