I've owned the Sony 400Q LCD projector for about 1 1/2 years and over all have been satisfied.
However... I've seen several examples of DLP ranging from $3000 to $15000 and think it may be time to upgrade.
1st question. Do all DLP's available for less than $3000 (LT150) have the Halo effect?
2nd question. My 400Q is presently 17ft from the screen. For DLP, I would like a 16x9 screen no larger than 110" diagonal. Are there any units that would fill this need and how do they cope with 4x3 sources? Could I make the 4x3 image fit into the 16x9 screen from 17ft? (LT150)
Improvements I hope to attain over 400Q are sharpness, detail, black level and computer friendlyness.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
BTW, I would plan to use an IScan Pro or Progress Scan DVD until I could get around to building an HTPC.
Thanks again.
