( Comparison btw AE 300 & Sanyo Z 1)


http://www.projectorcentral.com/sanyo_plv_z1.htm



HI there


I am deciding between AE 300 & in focus X1 for use with an HTPC


Is the AE 300 output via DVI much better in resolution as compared to VGA ( other 2 projectors has no DVI )


the article talked about L300 delivers HDTV 1080i with somewhat better image sharpness and detail.


QN : I would presume this applies to 720 p as well ( which technically is better than 1080 i )


As my country has no HDTV , I am wandering if this 1080 i or 720 p superiority in image sharpeness is applicable to scaling up analog sources ( VHS, cable TV) via D scaler to the projector


qn 2 : which means via the AE 300, i get sharper 1080 i image when viewing VHS tapes and cable TV ?



*** IF DVI is no longer a compelling reason ( AE 300)

SANYO SEEMS be the best bet.


In the comparison article btw ae 300 & X 1 .

1) IF Viewing distance is not a problem at more than 2 x screen width .

Than X 1 is better in contrast , shadow detail and EVEN COLOUR saturation and accuracy


2) Viewing distance is not a problem for m eat more than 2 x screen width

AE 300 has no advantage over Sanyo


3) The SANYO PLV-Z1 produces a brighter, bolder image with more intensely saturated color than in focus X 1

I have both of these PJ's and each has its tradeoffs. I wrote a review of them not too long ago. But in a nut shell here is what I would consider.

Your prefer LCD or DLP from a technology standpoint?
