I didnt want to start a new thread, but after hours and hours of reading I am still undecided. I have seen the Optoma HD80 and it looks good for the money, but havent seen the RS1x yet because there are no local dealers at all. I have seen the RS2 setup at a wholesale dealer and it definitely has the wow factor. I wanted to see the RS2 to give me an idea how the RS1x would look.


The pj will be installed in a basement without windows on a Dalite 116" screen that came with the house. It would be nice to have light in the rest of the basement for the poker table and etc without having a big effect the picture.


The JVC is obviously a superior pj, but is it worth the extra $2000?


Also, is it worth going with the RS1 over the HD1?



Thanks for your help.

IMHO, the RS1 is better in all ways than the HD80.

 

[Orionnt]

Is the RS1x worth the extra money over HD1? Besides being black and extra settings for fine tuning, are there any other added benefits over the HD1?

 

[Steve Dodds]

To me, no.


Others may find the extra gamma tweakability worthwhile.

Thanks for ur feedback, I am making my decision tomorrow.

I have had my Optoma HD80 for about a year. I really like it. I like the DLP picture and sharpness, and the ANSI contrast. No one has every said they see rainbows or have a headache, and I have shown movies to a lot of people with it. The JVC may be better, but you can own a very nice projector with the HD80, and have still $2000 in your pocket.
