I have a similar question. Also, does anyone know if there will be a successor to PLV-70, perhaps using the upgraded epson panel used in the Sony HS20?

Need advice from PLV70 owners
J. Mike et.al.,
I held back until CEDIA, but since there wasn't a lot revealed I may have to go ahead and purchase a projector. I have read the troubles you have had and some of your disappointments. I need the light output 'cause my room is not light controlled. Question is, if you had to do it over again would you buy the same PJ? I thought maybe the Sony HS20 as well, just concerned about light output. AVS is having some deals on the 20, would you go with that or Sanyo version?
Any help appreciated,
Ray

I've got the service manual and color uniformity calibration software for the projector, and hopefully this weekend I will find out how successful I am in dialing in a decent picture.
Keep in mind, my standards are considered by some folks as high, but I don't think it's too much to ask that a $6000 projector produces a fairly flat grayscale, and can produce a fairly uniform gray screen. My projector does neither at this point, and Sanyo says that's acceptable.
So, You decide . . .

J. Mike,
How does the image of your PLV-70 compare with your old Mitsubishi WS65905? (I got a 73905 about the same time as you got your rear projection TV. You're about a year ahead of me in upgrading, as I am now looking into putting a projector in my basement.) The reason I'm interested in the PLV-70, despite some problems with it, is that I want to illuminate a 140" screen in the presence of ambient light.
Thanks
Albert
