Hey guys,
I'm looking to take my first leap into home cinema projectors, I have about £1500 available for the screen and projector.
I have been reading reviews and looking at specifications of all kinds of projectors.
1080p is a must as 95% of source material will be Blu Ray with the odd HD Grand Prix thrown in for good measure, nothing else will be viewed.
The first projector I'm considering is the Optoma HD20 - For the price point it is VERY hard to resist.
Does anyone know what is the difference between the HD200x and the HD20?
What worries me about these Optoma projectors it the 4000:1 contrast ratio with 1700 lumens, other projectors boast 75000:1 contrast ratio with 1600 lumens... am I missing something here?? Are these real word differences or are they just useless manufacturer numbers?
Is there any mileage to be gained in a 120Hz projector, will the motion handling be smoother at this level?
Can anyone recommend any other second hand or brand new projectors that would fit my budget and requirements?
Cheers!
