It would be great if it was!
Whyshirley said:Also, there is a new projector test on Cine4Home with the Tx100, HS50, PT-AE700 , TW-200 and Z3 that is worth a look. HS50 comes out on top, with the TX100 in 2nd on points. Horses for courses of course, but it is interesting that despite the new kids on the block, the TX100 still can hold its own.
WonkyEwok said:Mine came with the 2 stage filter (grey foam inside, thin white cloth in ridges on the outer grill). So far it's been ok - I've cleaned the filters at 100 hours and not yet got any dust on screen. I hope it stays ok. I'll probably clean it more often from now on (ie not just when reminded).

When did you purchase yours?...PJ
Whyshirley said:Have you got a plan with regard to the fan, or will you see when you get the top off? I only ask as mine is annoying - its about 1m above my head and I could do with it being quieter. Its the only thing I'm not 100% happy about on my TX100. I was just wondering if there is already known course of action you can take to quieten things down ?
As for PJ's reply from Hitachi - fills you with confidence, doesn't it?

Even noisy in whisper mode?...PJkeylion said:This is really beginning to annoy me now. Late at night when I have the sound fairly low (due to me being a considerate neighbour) the fan is so loud it can be difficult to hear things properly.
Even at fairly high sound levels, any quite spell in the movie is somewhat spoilt by the fan noise.
Would love to hear from anybody who has investigated the fan issue.

No I never did. I'll try again by reporting it afresh via the web page, perhaps they don't reply to emails!PIG JOE said:So did PJTX100 ever get a second reply from Hitachi regarding the secondary dust filter????? and is it available as a retro fit!
Can't see it affecting the electronics, the only thing to watch is that it doesn't affect the airflow to the point where it overheats... though it does have a temp sensor so it will trip out presumably if this happens before any damage is done...PJPIG JOE said:Electrostatically charged' Ok sounds good for atracting all that dusty stuff BUT are there any techies on the forums that are going to tell me that this will freak out the electronics in the pj???
I can't see this myself but be good to get a second opinion.
PIG JOE said:I see from a posting today someone is thinking about fitting a motor bike filter complete with a soaking of oil? Wow and I thought my idea was a bit off the wall.
