Just thought I'd contribute some more to the "LT150 forum" http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
This weekend I was at a sci-fi con, and had the opportunity of seeing some of my own material on two projectors: Plus UP1100 (non-thumpered of course) and a Proxima 9320. The Proxima was being fed by my Skyworth usiong RGBHV, and my Radeon HTPC, while the UP1100 was using a Pioneer 626 through composite (no s-video unfortunately).
I can't really post much on these two as a convention is not exactly an environment where tweaking is easily done - nor wanted. I can comment on some things though. The scaler in the Proxima is definetly better than the LT150. No scaling artifacting of the same type I saw on the LT150 existed. Color/contrast is still better on the LT150 though. The Proxima being a 3-chip LCD it had no rainbows of course.
The UP1100 was not an experience I particularly enjoyed. I noticed rainbows slightly more than the LT150. Color/contrast just looked plain washed out. Worst however was the deinterlacer/scaler. The resulting picture was awash with aliasing artifacts.
And so I returned home secure in the knowledge that my 3.3lbs LT150 kicked the ass of both a 3-chip LCD and a UP1100. If someone gave either of those to me for free I'd just sell them and use the profit for LT150 lamps. God I love my projector!!! http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
