Hi Realdeal.UK.

Can of worms . Would help if you could answer a few questions first....

Will it be used in a dedicated room?
Is the room light controlled?
What are the room dimensions?
What sort of distances does the room allow from pj to screen?
Have you ever demoed a DLP? If so, can you see rainbows?
What source will you be using? HCPC / Standalone DVD?
What can the source output? Component / S-video / VGA etc.

There will be many more questions you ask yourself before you buy one, but these are a good place to start

Cheers,

Mark.

Hi Shockabuku,

Thanks for the promt reply,

It will be used in a living room along with 42" tosh rear projection tv.

Room is approx 14ft by 11ft and can be blacked out if need be.

Can have projector positioned anywhere it is suitable.

Demoed DLP and see no rainbows. Although difficult to demo anything reasonable on the Isle of Man!!

It will be stand alone DVD and can use all outputs.
