Ok, Ok I know it is mostly a LCD board here but I will throw this out anyway. I have been feverously shopping for about a month now and have to make a PJ decision by the end of February. I have a $3000 budget and could possibly stretch to $3500 if just the right PJ came along. I have looked very closely at the Sony HS20 and it will be my fall back PJ if nothing else works out. I have compared LCD to DLP side by side and I just prefer DLP. I won't go into all the reasons but I just do. All my LCD comparisons were made by looking at the Sony and the Yamaha 5000. I have been looking for a HD2 machine but I am almost resigned to the fact that they will not come down into my price range until it is too late. Finally, I came across the Sharp 9000 deal for $2800 via an internet retailer. The unit is a refurb but does have full warranty. He expects to get more in soon and I am on his waiting list. I have seen a 9000 but it was back in the fall. I remember that it was good but not as good as the BenQ 8700 I have been lusting over. Have any of you guys seen and compared a 9000 lately to the HD2 machines? Are there any real set backs to this unit other than no DVI? (I will not be using DVI anyway until they get their act together on the cabling issues) At $2800 I feel safe but just as sure as I buy this a BenQ 8700 or Sharp 10000 will come into my price range. How far do you guys think HD2 machines will fall before the end of February? Thanks for all the input.
