Projector advice

[zeroasylum]

I am considering buying a new projector. I am looking at the following

Sanyo PLV-Z800 or the BENQ w1000+. Both have good reviews from WHAT HIFI

I would love the Sany PLV-Z3000 but just chant go that high.

What are peoples opinions and does anyone know the cheapest place to get these. I have an old Sanyo and really like their products and the BENQ fan seems loud from the spec. Advice please

Thanks

I have the Benq w1000+ I find it very very good for the price.........bright, sharp, amazing HD and full calibration controls.
I use on eco-mode and can hardly hear the fan.....£755 free delivery next day from morecomputers. Lamps are £115 from projectorshop24.

Sanyo plv z3000 is around £1380 and is a lcd projector.
The Benq w1000+ is dlp, I find dlp more film like and 3d depth.

If your susceptible to the RGB rainbow effect with lower speed dlp's then you may prefer lcd.
I personally rarely see RGB on this Benq.

Try projectorshop24 or pixmania(you get the french version with non uk plug)

ps..I highly recommend the Benq w1000+ it is extremely bright even on eco mode. Takes 50-100 hours for the lamp to settle from new...then artefacts are rare.

you also might want to consider another very good dlp..optoma hd20 which seems to be dropping in price atm. Its also a consideration for future-proofing if you want to go 3D as Optoma are launching a 3D conversion box for about £250

Do you have a link of a review for the HD20 as all I can fine is the themescene hd 20 but it has a very low contrast ratio. Also any link on the conversion box

Optoma hd20 review...Optoma HD20 1080p DLP Home Theater Projector

3D conversion adaptor......Consumer Projectors

(wont work with hd20.....there is a list of compatible 720p projectors in the link)

The contrast ratio for the hd20 is not low it is quoted as an ANSI figure rather than on/off which some manufacturers use.
