Have decided I may need to up the ante from $1500 to $2,000.
I have an aging HD32 Optoma. Getting "Lamp replacement" messages on boot up. About 2k hours on lamp. Still working, but who knows for how long?
I have a completely light controlled room. Optoma PJ now hangs from ten foot ceiling.
Throw is 25 feet to a 144" x 96" Hi Power Daylight high performance roll-up screen. Diagonal is about 175 inches
PJ now 12v triggers roll up screen. 25 foot HDMI cable to DVD player.
Under $1,500 would be nice, but could go as high as $2,000.
I like the Panny PT-AE4000u, but so do a lot of other people = out of stock (currently).
Possibly the Viewsonic Pro8100
I may be ok to wait, but if the Optoma lamp fails, I will be watching on a 37" screen.
Any other PJ anyone could suggest?
Your help appreciated.
