Hi clopez,
I'm good. I hope you are doing well. I haven't been following new projector developemnts too closely. I have to say I am not too keen on single chip DLP's at this point. Then again, I haven't seen the newer models. If I was buying another projector, I'd look at a D-ILA. By now, there must be some for around 6 grand or less. The older ones don't have the best contrast, but they do have invisible pixels and fairly accurate colors. Another nice thing about D-ILA is that you no longer have to send it to someone to be calibrated. You can do it yourself with dilard. I have zero interest in LCD projectors and as I said, single chip DLP doesn't really excite me anymore. My DL450 kicked ass, but it had a great absolute black level and a smooth as silk picture, via the triple buffering. So where are you going to find that in a new projector? I don't know of any. Most of the hot projectors right now are just business models anyway and not designed for home theater. I think manufacturers will reveal some 16:9 DLP's and I suspect a serious videophile would consider them junk. I don't believe the manufacturers will have them set up at the factory to 6500K and even if they do, the color temp will drift significantly over the halide bulb's life. With D-ILA, the bulb is Xenon and color temp varies to an insignificant degree. You know, I am not really a big fan of D-ILA, but it's the least flawed technology right now. 3 chip DLP is best, but it is very expensive.
My advice is to search for a D-ILA. Get the best one you can afford and try and make sure it has no green fog or dead pixels. Learn how to calibrate your projector with dilard and view DVD's through an HTPC. Connect your HDTV STB to your projector and enjoy the picture.
By the way, I may not have given you the best advice. It could be that there is a better projector out there that I'm not aware of. There are only a handful of people who's opinions I trust. And they haven't told me about any awesome new development. There are many good people who get excited over a projector. Very often, that projector doesn't deserve the accolades. So I remain skeptical regarding popular opinion. But it'll be interesting to read what other people think. Good luck in your search.
