The other night my wife said to me out of the blue "What would a new projector cost to replace the G70?" The G70 has been our HT projector for the past 8 years and I am quite happy with it although it is a bit loud and sometimes I wish it were brighter. The impetus of her question was it is big, heavy, and we nearly had serious injury when we hung it the last time. Basically she doesn't want to move it and hang it again even though we have no plans to do so. So here I am researching what digital projectors would be an equivalent for it.
I like the black level of the CRT but as long as the digital is very dark as in I could do the hand shadow test and it casts a very slight shadow then I would be fine. I don't want the bright gray screen of yesteryear. Something more along the lines of setting the G70's brightness too high.
From my initial research it seems like the JVC RS10 or RS20 might be a reasonable overall equivalent. The main issues I have with the RS10 is lack of PC input and lack of CMS. I really like to play PC driving games on the big screen and would like the colors to be as accurate as possible. At the bottom end the Epson 6500U seems like it would be a bit of a compromise where I would gain full 1080p resolution and brightness but lose black level and some color.
Anyone have any experience with the G70 and today's digital projectors that have some recommendations?
