Hi,
My 9pg+ is about to be replaced. And I've decieded to go with CRT this time also. Next time will be a digital, but for now price is too high.
So, I have found a nec xg 1101lc in very nice condition (9/8/9). And a sony 1292 also in good condition (9/9/7) including new blue tube. And an electrohome 9500lc (8/8/7, out from pictures to judge), with a 2.35:1 wear on the blue (see pic)...
I get the xglc+moome dvi+ lumagen hdp, or 1292+tube+lumagen hdp, or 9500lc+moome hdmi for about the same price... XG for slightly less. 9500 for slightly more.
What would be the best choice?
Would I need a VP with the 9500 or could I just connect a bluray player through moome hdmi and run [email protected]?
The XGLC would probably give a great result with some effort.
From my understanding, spare part availability is best for the 9500, well as ease of setup, fan noise and potential IQ is best. But it has more wear. Might be an issue if I'm not able to get my configuration witin the same 2.35:1 wear?
Of course buying the 9500lc give me more options for upgrading later. VP, new tubes, mods, ...
btw, I will be running 2.35 screen, 2.15m wide...
Hope you have tips or recommendations for me
