Can anyone comment on the quality/reliability of Optoma projectors? Specifically, my father is considering purchasing a H30 or H50. I have no knowledge of projectors, but could anyone point out the pros/cons of either/each?
Thanks.
Thanks.

For the manfacturer's specs it looks like the H50 costs almost twice as much as the H30, and adds 50% more light (but with lower contrast) and DVI input.
It's hard to say what the street prices of these units will be, but most likely the H30 will be hard-lined selling for MSRP of $1399, and the H50 will be discounted to around $2299.
For me, the $1400 H30 looks attractive as an alternative to a RPTV 8) , but at $2300 and only SVGA resolution, the H50 is not that appealing.

Admittedly, it's just another stop-gap unit that I'm going to use when i want to play games or bring a projector and PC to play movies at friend's houses.

I certainly know that the 1080p FPTVs are coming down in price and up in quality,... -
I've read somewhere that ANSI lumen for data projectors is not the same as lumen for HT. Can somebody confirm that? My previous Optoma pj had 1600 ANSI lumen but was a data projector being used for HT. I'm about to get the PT-AE900 with 1100 lumen for HT. Are those 2 approx the same, or am I completely... -
I have a sanyo LCD projector and it seems like 2 of the pixels on the screen are NOT changing colour. I fear that this is a huge problem. Does anyone know of a fix? The bulb is brand new and I have cleaned the lense... any ideas? -
This thread will be dedicated to the discussions of the new Sanyo PLV-Z2

Here are the specs of the two units.
