Was checking on the color stream being passed through to the LG. It's 36bit from the PS3 to the receiver and then out to the LG. I thought that was considered "Deep Color" but saw another thread on AVS that claims deep color is 48bit...

Would disagree with the advice "Just buy the Epson". Please read the 8500ub forum, some members there have already sent in 5 units to get one that is satisfactory - red line issues, pink bands, some auto-iris problems/etc.... Granted...

Based on your throw distance, screen size and some ambient lighting I'd recommend the LG. As for Epson having more of an established reputation, true, but thoroughly read the AVSforum thread for the 8500ub from those who purchased it. ...

Hi mcstiles, I recently viewed "Wild Oceans", an IMAX Blu ray. Lots of *very fast* motion, at 60 frames per second the projector was great, no jitter and saw little if any motion blur. The black levels are fine and even great on all...

Hi Andrios, I've a PS3 on order, will be doing some gaming also on the LG. However, different platforms have different refresh requirements. Are you gaming on a console or a PC? The pc's have the fastest graphics/refresh rates and...

That's why I didn't haggle on price. If a projector has been tweaked by Joe and thoroughly impresses him, that's worth something. Considering the mostly very glowing reviews here and Joe's assesment, this purchase/projector was the...

Actually, AVS did sell one unit! Joe, thanks for selling to myself your demo unit, it arrived today. Am very excited and eager to set this baby up, hopefully over the weekend. The Onkyo NR3007 hasn't arrived yet but when it does the...
