Can someone give an unbiased comparison between the two projectors? Namely the Marquee 9500LC and the new Epson 8350 digital projector. Now that they're both under $1500, I'd surely like to hear some good, meaty comparisons between the two. Picture quality is #1 priority, of course, #2 is routine calibrations required. Digital is supposed to be set it and forget it. I've used several 4100 ECP's over the years and they are a constant tweak machine. I didn't mind back then but rather bored with doing that weekly at this point. Plus, of course, 1080p like out of a PS3 blu-ray is an absolute must now.
I want it all but not all the routine headaches Smile .
I don't mind the initial setup at all and even look forward to that. But seriously, the Epson 8350 is only 16 pounds and does 1080p with wide variation in pj placement and ambient light allowance. Bulb is 4000 hours claims Epson. I don't want to deal with bulbs either but every couple years isn't so bad at around $300 currently.
My main theater room has been really idle since I got sick but I went through a couple ECP 4100's, a couple Barco 800 graphics (still have them plus 4 more that are untested.)
And to top if off, wife says she doesn't want to put any more money into pj's but it hasn't sunk in yet that the 10 foot image is now as cheap and cheaper than the 60 inch or so flat screen.
That's where we are these days. Thanks for any help!
