Having given up on trying to ceiling mount my CRT due to extremely high ceiling I've decided that LCD or DLP is the way to go.
What with technology moving at such a pace I reckon that a more modest, say significantly under £2 solution would be best for now. I can always upgrade again once the best route forward becomes clearer.
I've been reading through the various threads about banding, DLP Rainbows, Deal Pixels, Comparative Performance etc. and I'm absolutely at a loss at what to go for.
I want to buy by the End of April ready for my birthday in early May..
So here goes..
1/ I have 10ft Screen in absolute light controlled environment.
2/ I Use an HTPC with TheaterTek and TV Via a Nebula Card in the HTPC. I have DVI Out from my Radeon 9500 (Non-Pro)
3/ I watch 90% Movies but would like to get X-Box up & Running too
4/ Image quality is important to me.
5/ I have total control of PJ positioning so key-stone correction not that important.
6/ Having a direct family member who works for Sony, I can get a great deal on Sony offerings.
7/ I'm don't think I'm sensitive to rainbows but I'm concerned that others in my family or visiting might, so slow wheel DLPs probably not ideal.
8/ HDMI Would be nice.
Is the HS20 my logical choice? All PJs seem to have some flaws but I'm concerned about the number of problems people seem to have with the HS20. From what I undertand I need to be able to do 1:1 Pixel Mapping if an LCD solution.
What help I'd like
I'm not asking for full reviews on features & why you'd choose which, but if some of you could post the PJ you'd buy with the above points in mind I can gauge a concensus and research the specific PJs in more detail.
Thanks for any help.
