 My Epson 8350 crapped out on me and I'm in the market for a replacement.  Had this happened before Black Friday I think it would have been an easy choice, but I just put a 60" Samsung in my living room and am a bit tired of spending money on TVs.  This brings me to where I'm at now.  I'm never...

Went out today to purchase a Panasonic PT-AR100 but here in eastern Canada it seems few have them in stock. One guy told me he wasn't even sure when or if they'd be getting any more. Is it possible that Panasonic is selling out the remaining stock in advance of a new model announcement in Vegas...

Hi all. I am pretty new to the forums and to projectors in general. I recently moved into a new apartment (rental) and we have a pretty big living room so I decided to look into getting a projector. We have a 47" LG that we use as our daily TV, but want something bigger to watch sports...

Hey all, I started posting on the Panasonic PT-AE4000U thread about a used model I was considering. The recommendations were thought-provoking enough to warrant a separate thread. I've never owned a TV because I always thought I would save up for an HD projector. I'm young and fairly frugal...

I have had my Epson 1080 projector since they first came out and I would like to move on to a newer projector. I run my projector for movies, tv, and computer browsing and I use it for about 10+ hours a day. Bulbs last me 8-12 months. I would like to keep my budget price to around $1000. I...
