optoma or Benq

[rajnivas]

hi,
I am looking for a projector which has good contrast ratio and more color accurate.I have zeroed it on Benq w1400 and optoma Hd 25. Which one u suggest for dark room viewing?

Thanks,
Rajni.

Both are great PJ's I would suggest a demo of both to see which you think is the best as different people have different perspectives.

 

[rajnivas]

Product is not available here. so i have to order the projector.Ihave to take a decision by asking u guys only.
I there any other projector which meets my criteria( rec 709)?

 

[SteveCritten]

We'll let's start with a few basics. What will the main sources be? What size screen do you require and how far back can you position the PJ?

 

[rajnivas]

source is HDMI and the screen size is 120".and the distance would be around 12ft. I will be using it for vidoe editing.

Then I would look at the Optoma personally but do you know if you have any issues with rainbows?

 

[rajnivas]

I trust my eyes and I know any rainbow effect is there. But is optoma having this problem and what is the difference between optima HD 25 and 25 lv? If u prefer hd25 shall I go with hd25 lv?

 

[SteveCritten]

The LV has extra lumens so brighter, only needed if you can't get your room really dark.

1. Thanks for the info. But what is the conclusion? With whom should I go?

 

[SteveCritten]

I don't know, I haven't seen the room you are setting up in so all I can do is advise. You have to make the final choice but I really recommend a demo.

From an optoma product point of view I believe that the hd30b is supposed to be a step up in picture quality from a slightly higher budget................if you wanted to stick to this manufacturer.
