Epson EMP-TW10H

well i sold my Z2 that i paid £950 for, then ive just boguht another Z2 (brand new boxed) for £480!!!

Loving the bargain i found :D
 
Anyone know where I can get a brand new EMP-TW10 for the cheapest price?

* Not off Ebay though (had bad dealings with someone before, put me off buying stuff from there)!!!

Any help would be great.

You guys have persauded me to get an Epson EMP-TW10, was going to spash out on a panasonic or sanyo, but you cant go wrong with the Epsons low price and 3yr warranty!!!
 
Those are the two cheapest places I can find also.

Wanted the screen deal but missed it! :(
 
Anyone else have a problem with the pop out foot (the non threaded one) slipping? It's not a major problem as I am going to get a ceiling mount eventually but my girlfriend sometimes uses it for presentations and resorts to the couple of cd cases method rather than using the feet.

Great piece of kit for the price mind you. Specially as I managed to blag an unused Sahara screen from work.

Any recommendations for ceiling mounts would be useful.

Cheers
 
Thanks for your help, I have realised that I can't actually afford one this month, spent too much money on my house and car!!!

Will hope to buy it next month, or do you think that they might drop in price before or after Xmas, I am sure I could wait a bit longer.

Also, has anyone connected a PS2 to the TW10, if so what connection (someone told me that you can get a different lead from the PS2 to give superior picture quality)?
 
Ok, I am confused :confused:

I have just bought myself a Epson EMP-TW10 (not the H) in a bundle with a screen and other bits and pieces... a bit of a spur of the moment thing to be honest. I am due to receive this projector tomorrow.

I am confused as to how to connect everything to it! I have tried to research on the matter but end up coming away more confused than I was to start with! :zonked:

I understand that the best picture comes from component video (3 x RCA leads for RGB output), but I understand there are various versions of component video some with separate sync cables and some with the sync built into the G cable etc. etc.
I also understand that the second best video signal is through S-Video and lastly composite video.

The trouble I have is that I have the following I would like to connect to the projector:

Sky+ (has RGB over Scart or S-Video out)
Xbox (RGB over Scart or component video though the high definition kit I have)
DVD (RGB over Scart or S-Video or composite video)
PC (can easily connect using VGA cable)

I don’t mind manually switching things but I know modern amps have component video switching built in and also do some conversion from video sources to component video.
The amp I have is an old Yamaha DSP-A5 which only has S-Video and Composite video switching. I also have the same AV-control centre which Rich mentioned (the Joytech one), but haven't used this previously as I noticed a degradation of video quality when using it (mostly noticeable on the Sky text banners).

I want to connect all of this equipment to my projector which is on the other side of the room. I can easily do it though S-Video as all of my equipment has this and I can even use my amp to switch between inputs and just run one long S-Video cable to my projector. BUT I want to get the best possibly picture available from my equipment, as mentioned before I don’t mind switching inputs if it means I can have a better picture!

Can I convert an RGB Scart output to proper component video (RGB)?? Or is this a different thing altogether? Is the conversion going to be worse than using the S-Video cable?
I went to a local specialist Hi-Fi / Home Cinema shop and asked about the various inputs. The guy there gave me the impression that you couldn’t convert an RGB Scart output to a component video without spending a lot of money!? If this is the case then why can you get a cable like this: http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables/PGV379.html? Or am I missing something here?
 
Doesn't that projector (I think I've ordered the same bundle myself) come with a lead into which you just plug your RGB scart? I downloaded the manual and it says it will not always be included, but I think it will be.

So you won't get component quality, because you're not using a component output, but you will get RGB quality.

I think, anyway! Roll on tomorrow, if they did manage to send them all out today - I've got a pile twenty high of dvds and games that I can't wait to try out!
 
The bloke in the shop was right(ish), I suppose it depends on what you call a lot of money, but personally, I'd say it isn't worth the hassle.

Right, the best thing to do in your situation (which is very very similar to mine) is to to this:

Buy one of these: Scart -> RGBs. They also do a 10m one if 5m is not enough.

Use this lead to connect you PJ to the Joytech switcher (I have tested mine with and without and see no difference if quality. If you still have problem then get a replacement as yours is faulty).

Then you can simply connect all your components (XBox etc.) to the Joytech box.

Easy! If you've any questions, just ask.
 
Missed out on delivery of my projector today as I wasn't in at home :(

Looking at the Scart RGB to RGBS (or RGB4) converter which came with a work mates projector it looks like you can convert Scart RGB to RGBS which as far as I understand is better quality than S-Vdieo but not quite as good as proper component video!?

If this is the case then I can use my Joytech AV centre to do the switching between DVD and Sky+ (both on RGB scart) and then use my Xbox High definition kit to output proper component video directly to my projector... result!

Now to buy the cables in anticipation for the projector arriving tomorrow!

Cheers for your help Rich! Your setup looks excellent. I am mounting this whole lot in my failry small living room, I already have a whole home cinema speaker setup but am currently trying to decide on the best way to setup the projector and screen. I am thinking about building a shelf on my back wall for the projector to sit on (a lot cheaper than an official ceiling mount and also a lot easier to build than a DIY ceiling mount) and then look into getting a celing mounted screen which can be pulled down infront of the TV. Or even better get one which pulls down out of the celing automatically at the touch of a button :) Niiiiice
