First off, this looks like a great forum, loads of info on all sorts of interesting things!.
I am looking to buy my first PJ, but have very limited funds (circa £800 - at least that's what's left on my credit card). I would prefer to buy new - no hassles then with warranty and bulbs going ploink after 10 hours etc. Having done some research on the web/pricerunner I have narrowed the search down to about 5 machines.
They are:
Panny 100E
Panny 200E
Tosh ET1
Sony HS3
Sanyo Z1
I will be using it mostly for DVD films played through my Tosh player (sorry I'm at work at the moment and can't remember type ) using either s-video or component video, although it may occassionaly be used for Sky broadcasts (RGB Scart).
Screen will be DIY, following instructions on these forums, so aspect ratio etc and size is open to discussion. Throw distance is approx 12-14 feet and I am looking for a screen size of approx 52-60" width. Format preferably widescreen. Player will be about 5 metres away from the PJ housed in my AV rack. Mounting will be 'removable' as at the moment my cinema is my lounge and although I am not married so there is no good woman to nag, I don't have the money to do a proper conversion ATM.
What would the recommendation of the panel be?
