Mike-
If at all possible, view both projectors and than pick the one YOU like the best. This is really a subjective question.
Of course the Sanyo is next generation, compared to the 10HT, but I'm not so sure it is that much better based on what I've read.
I'm also not sure that I'd agree with LMO's post that the 150 has gotten consistently better reviews than the 10HT. Like all projectors the 150 has it's issues.
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. I've had my 10HT for about 9 months, and I think it stacks up well against anything else in the digital realm. I have seen both the 150 and the Sanyo and I'd still pick the Sony.
FYI, check out the 10HT and the Sanyo forums over at
www.thebigpicturedvd.com. Remember though, these forums tend to highlight the negatives because people there (me included) are always looking for ways to tweak the last ounce of performance out of their chosen projector.
No matter which one you buy, you have the potential, when properly calibrated and tweaked to get an amazingly good image. Even right out of the box, you'll have an image that will wow most people.
Screen door effect means you can see each individual pixel on the screen if you are too close, because there are black lines forming a border around each pixel. Look through a window screen from a foot or two away and you'll see the same thing.
Greyhawk is probably the top screen right now for LCD projectors. It's pricey, but probably worth it. You can also build your own screen with a gray rather than white finish to approximate a Greyhawk.
