Definitely interested in the H77 as an upgrade option & look forward to seeing one shortly.

Any chance of an in depth review Neil?
Do you have the capability to take contrast readings or greyscale graphs at all?
This pj certainly looks like a bargain, and could be as popular as the HT1000 was - if it delivers.

Hi ntslik
Would it be possible for to post a picture of the Universal Touch Screen Remote? I've googled all over and haven't found one yet! 
I am also considering this as my new PJ. I look forward to reading your overall opinions! |

Looking online at the manuals the 'universal touchscreen remote' mentioned in specs seems to have turned into a plain old (but illuminated) remote;

I wonder if they have changed it to a cheaper one becasue of the initial £500 price drop.

Oh yes. A new style touch screen multi function jobbie 
Just amazes me how all their marketing blurb refers to a touch screen remote yet no one here, in Europe or in the US has ever seen one. Makes you wonder what they're playing at. |

Looks like Inzaman may be right on the button then. Thinking about it, it seems a good idea to offer an expensive part as an option thereby reducing the price. After all, many HT enthusiasts would likley have their preferred multi remote already.
I take back my previous comment as it may have been a shrewd move by Optoma |

Definately - who wants to pay for something they already have? This way, the price is more appealing and those who want the remote have the option to buy it as and when.

themescene h77
I live in Norwich so before making the journey I have a few questions
1. On paper the contrast ratio of 3500.1 seems superb but how good is it in the real world compared with the Sim Domino?
2.What price are you selling the H77 for and is a ceiling bracket available?
3. I would like to have a fixed screen-what is the ideal distance for placing the projector to give a 7ft wide screen image? Any reccommendations on screens?
4. Ideally I would like to have the DVD player close to the projector and keep the rest of the av system on the other side of the room.This would mean a digital cable around 20 feet to the av amp(Denon) Would I loose any signal quality over this distance?
5.My present DVD player is a Philips 963SA this has progressive scan and component outputs utilising the Farouda interpolating processing chip and a 108mhz/13 bit dac video processor.Will this be a weak link? Would the purchase of say a Pioneer DVD player with HDMI give a worthwile improvement?
6.I have read good reports of the RGB/component convertors for sky digital.Any opinions?
7.Is the projector suitable for DIY or is professional installation essential?
Thank you for your patience
Charles
