Hi, This may have been asked before but I didn't find it in the pages I looked/searched over. Has anyone upgraded to the 7900 from a HC3800/4000? I have the 3800 and would like to know if this would be a noticeable difference maker. Light controlled, very dark gray walls and ceiling with a...

Following this thread I am now looking for a new projector. I have an older Infocus IN72, which I tried to replace with an Epson 8350, but the nonadjustable misaligned panels made me give up on 3-panel technology. Hence my search for a single chip DLP projector. Here are the requirements...

So Ive moved and got around to putting my trusty old X1 back up. This is the 3rd place I've mounted it and it has always worked so well no matter the location. But now.. Ive been researching a modern replacement and the offset of all the popular more budget oriented ones Ive checked so far are...

Hey everyone, Hopefully a pretty quick and easy question- I got a new Mitsubishi 7900DW that should be arriving on Friday and I am getting things ready to mount it. I currently have a SI 92" 16:9 screen- the wall is 96inches high, and currently the screen is 12inches from the ceiling. My...

Okay, so I purchased an Epson 2030 as my first projector, and it's not working out. Here's the setup in the basement - ceiling is 9'8" tall, I would like the projector ceiling mounted 11-12' away from the screen, and a 110" diagonal image with the bottom edge around 24" off the floor. I...

Hello! (I searched and did not find any threads with this comparison with any responses) I've owned quite a few projectors in my day and am ready to upgrade to a full 1080p projector. In order, (so far) I've owned a huge Sony CRT 1252, an Infocus 4805, and a Mitsubishi HC1500 (my current...

 Hey anyone,   I just purchased the hc7900dw and am shopping for a reasonably priced ceiling mount that will fit properly and allow for some adjustment. I would appreciate any guidance that might prove helpful. Thanks 

A few days of searching and these seem to be choices I have. The room: Basement movie room, 19 ft throw to back wall with projector mounted in wall at ceiling level. Have painted wall right now with 144" diagonal but will put a screen on it with maybe 120 or 130". Lights are all dimmable and...

So, I got my HP screen and while I love the extra brightness, I have noticed streaks all over the screen. I'm coming from a carada BW screen and it has no texture at all. Is it common for HP screens to have streaks? It kinda looks like vertical banding you would see on LCD flat panels. I have...

Hi all, Any thoughts on whether this is much of an upgrade? I was looking at getting a new lamp for my Benq W1200, but with the huge price drop on the Mits HC7900DW, I was thinking of getting it and just selling the Benq. I'm sure I could get a couple of hundred bucks for mine so in the end...

Please help me choosing my new plasma and/or projector I have a Mitsubishi projector hc3800 and a television set panasonic 50V20 (Europe), and liked to renew my equipment. A customer for the television set for $800 appeared and I have more $1800 to spend. For the same money I have the...

I've decided to get an HP screen for 3D. I'm getting a Mits 7900 for just 3D and I'm gonna just use it on a stand when I watch 3D so I can get the projector at around eye level. I also own the JVC RS4910. This projector is ceiling mounted at a height of 6.5 feet and is 12 feet away from the...

Background- I plan on being a new owner to a projector for my home theater/entertainment room. I don’t consider myself a hard core videophile, but I am technical and definitely pickier than the average person. I currently own a four year old Panasonic VT series plasma in the living room. Other...

Hi guys, I have owned a few projectors over the years, but have now been on a 6-year drought. The house I am in now has a small room that I can use as a "theater"...viewing distance is about 9 feet, and from what I read from THX and SMTPE, I want about a 36-degree field-of-view, which amounts...

I'm looking to replace my aging epson cinema 200+ 720p with a newer 1080p with better contrast I have a 120" screen that's ~12ft from the projector. It can be closer if needed.... There are 11 1080p projectors that have the proper throw distance: ViewSonic PRO8300 ViewSonic PRO8200...

I would love to know how these two compare. The infofocus should have a lumen advantage, but I wonder how blacks compare? I believe they are based on the same chip technology's.

 Hello,   I've been reading a lot, but I'm not ever owning a projector, I'm unsure which of the above models to obtain. I have a 14x12 room, with 1 window.  This will basically be a living room projector.      I can get the JVC HD1 for about $500.  This PJ is pretty old, so I'm unsure if...

I'm in the process of overhauling my home theater. I currently use a 50" LCD for viewing. I mentioned the idea of a 80" screen and a projector to my wife and she got very excited. I'm interpreting this as "You are allowed to buy a projector as long as you don't spend all of our house renovation...

I wonder if I could get the advice of a few people who know more than I do. I've read a bunch of (sometimes conflicting) info here and elsewhere but it seems to be leaving me even more confused than when I began. I have a Mitsubishi HD1000 that was in my house when I moved in four years ago...

 After a lot of deliberation, I just placed an order for a BenQ W1070.  Was confident with my decision until I read this excerpt from a shootout review between the W1070 and W5000   "This extra light output is most useful when watching 3D movies, where the W1500 will be able to support larger...
