I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on Boxlight projectors in general and on the 13-HD in specific.


Any comparisons to the Sanyo PLV-60HT?

Hi,


Nice specs:

Anyone seen it ?

This was the only info I found when doing a search on google...

It is an OEM Sanyo 60HT with different video processing and scaling firmware. I would recommend an outboard scaler/HTPC with any projector on the market so the premium they want for the 13HD over the 60HT is, IMHO, wasted money.


It is white though, which may help the WAF.

Well those reviews are suspect anyway, that site is a subsidiary of boxlight anyway.


I don't care about the color (it will be hidden from view anyway) so it looks like I'll still be leaning towards the Sanyo.

I have installed the Cinema13-HD and can attest to its capabilities, it is a great projector. You can't go wrong with it especially with the service and support provided by Studio Experience.

Is the processing/scaling firmware noticeably better on the 13-HD vs the 60HT? I've seen generally a difference of $600 between the two and the price for a iScan Pro for around $700...

Well, my 60HT internal scaler stinks, so any improvement would be a big improvement. I don't trust internal scalers/processors, period... so for me it really doesn't matter what they did with the 13HD, I'd still get a external video processor (it also cuts down on the number of cables I have to fish through my ceiling to the projector).


I'd take that $700 and invest in an HTPC or put a down-payment on a Rock+ or Faroudja NRS.

I got an email from projectorpeople.com saying:
