Hello,
I need you help, I've been popping into this area very often recently but never posted until now. I'm in the process of designing my own house and I'm planning to have a cinema/entertainment room, but I'm missing a projector. I've seen a few LCDs and DLPs but have never been satisfied until I saw a Sony G70 with a Vigatec scaler and SDI output of a DVD. It was just outstanding.
I've made a shortlist, but not quite sure what the real differences are(even after reading the brochures). They are the: Sony G70, Barco 809s and the Barco 1209s.
My next question is that I'm I living in Greece now (left the UK several years ago) but I'd like to buy it in the UK because there isn't a second hand market here as you have there. How would you ship across Europe? I remember reading a thread about couriers a few months back but you weren't talking about international deliveries. I've checked on DHL's site, and they'd charge just under È600 to ship the 1209s. There are cheaper removal companies that go over land, but I'm a bit worried about it bouncing around in the back on the truck. What would you do?
Next, the scaler. What do you suggest, the Vigatec, or something else?
Also my DVD, i have a Sony 735. Do you know if I can get the SDI output for it, or should I think about changing it? (sorry, should I post this in the DVD area?)
Thank you,
marc
