projector. I had big expectations for this unit: It has 2000 lumen, DVI input and a good spec sheet.
I have been shopping for a LCD projector, due to big eyestrain problems with DLP (LT150). Last week I took a Toshiba TLP680 (1500 lumen) home and I was impressed with the colors and sharpness of the video (VGA from a HTPC).
Well, my expectations for the 810P have been shattered. Colors are not as crisp as the TLP860 and the image was soft and hazy. People's faces were fuzzy and on-screen motion was kind of choppy. I can't blame a DVD player because a PC was generating extremely smooth video from a Radeon 7500 AGP card.
Even the DVI input looked worse to me than the VGA input on the 810P. Maybe being a newbie, you have to fiddle with lots of setting or something, but the 810P just wasn't enjoyable to watch.
In comparison, I enjoyed last week's viewing of the Toshiba 860 tremendously. My wife agreed with my assessment between the 2 projectors.
Bottom line: You have to try any projector you are thinking about at home, before you buy it.
Has anyone else noticed this hazy video problem with Epson projectors?
