I'm pondering jumping in here, rather quickly. Unfortunately, with my RPTV out, I don't have the luxury of taking my time, as I miss a quality display.
I'm pondering the Panasonic 300U, given great reviews for an LCD pj. No real rainbow effect from what I hear. Apparently blacks and shadows are weaker on the LCD, but that's about all. 1699 price right now, not to bad. It's a quite 28 dB noise floor, loooong bulb life projected at 4000 hours. Maybe the best pick under 2K?
I can get the Sharp PG-M20X for 1799, DLP. 1024 X 768, 1900 lumens, 1000:1 Contrast. Doesn't sound bad on paper, but what about in the flesh? Dunno.
George's HT1000 is appealing, except for the price, 4K. Ok, not George's actual PJ, but one like it.
The Sanyo PLV-70, WXGA, 1366 X 768, 2200 lumens, probably a super nice DLP. Not sure I can spend 4400 bucks though. Better than the HT1000 now? Dunno.
I dunno, I'd like little or no screen door, as good a blacks and shadows as I can get, and I need to be able to project it 17 feet away to around an 80" wide screen. I'd also like as quite as possible.
It's perplexing what to do not really getting to see any of these before ordering.
