If LCD is what you're going with I've only heard great things about the 8350... I think you should be on the right track especially if this is your first projector, you could eventually move to DLP later on

I am really open to LCD or DLP but it seems like for under $1300, the Epson is my best option. Originally, I had planned around spending $1k but thought the Epson would be worth extending my budget a little. Are there any DLPs under $1300 that you would recommend over the Epson? (and why of course)... thanks.

If you need the mounting flexibility of the 8350 then that is likely your best choice as you will not find a DLP close to your price range that will match it in that regard... However if you want it simply for convenience and a DLP can fit your situation, and by your description it appears it can, you owe it to yourself to view them both if possible. If you don't see the RBE, and few do, the DLP's sharpness, especially during fast motion viewing like sports/action scenes can't be matched by any LCD in the same price range... Double your price range and the gap narrows, but the DLP still has the edge due to it's sharpness...
And yes you're on the right track...
Myself, I am partial to Mitsubishi, I've put 4 years, and 8000 hours (2nd lamp) on one that to this day still delivers...

The slight possibilty of him seeing RBE is why I suggested in my post he view both, and if RBE or the limited placement of DLP are an issue, then the 8350 is a good choice in his price range, however if neither are an issue, and because he mentioned sports and gaming, DLP will be his best choice....
Should you have also mentioned, to be clear.... the lower the price of a projector (LCD) the more likely motion blur and convergence issues are to come into affect, as both are issues even with higher end units...?

The lesser expensive units use slower color wheels, with fewer segments. So though I agree that DLP is sharper and better for motion, it is well advised to view one before purchasing as to make sure there are no physiological issues. |
