Today I had the chance to check out a couple different projectors, met this guy, Bob Wood at another forum, and we live in the same town.
The first projector Bob had running was his D-ILA made by JVC, I was somewhat surprised by the picture, it was brighter than my projector, with DVD as a source the image was very sharp, I'd say a notch above mine, and HDTV...not even close, very impressive. (when I say "not even close" I'm refering to my DVD feed, as that's all I have at this time.) It's down fall, black detail, and I watch only movies, so that's a pretty big one.
Then he fired up his Ampro with 7" guns, which he feed from HTPC running at 800X600 and either 60 or 72hz refresh rate, again very nice,DVD image was a notch or two below mine, but HDTV was as good or slightly better than my DVD feed, we worked on his color balance alittle, and got some good fleshtones, and to get the image out of it we got it's being pushed alittle hard, but he's got spare tubes, boards, whole projectors!!!...the most amazing thing about this little projector, it's super quite, and he payed $100 for it!!! Talk about Bang for the buck!!!
