I recently purchased a Sanyo XP21N projector and have been having some real problems with it... I originally made the decision to purchase this projector because of all the great reviews both on this board and in other places. I was going to check with a few other owners of this projector first to see if you are having the same problem before I decide to purchase a different projector possibly a D-ILA.
My equipment:
Stewart Grayhawk 16:9 120" v-lux screen
Sanyo XP21N LCD projector
Denon DVD-2800 progressive DVD player
Denon AVR-5800 THX receiver
RCA DC-100 satellite receiver
First off, it is giving me major pixilation when any object moves quickly across the screen. This is happens most of the time when a movie pans across a landscape for example. I am feeding a Composite video feed from my Denon DVD-2800 progressive DVD player straight into the projector without going through the receiver. It also happens from my RCA DTC-100 satellite receiver when fed directly from the HD port into the projector with a VGA cable. Is this a common problem with this projector?
Next, the screen-door effect is really noticeable with viewing of any source. I am 11 feet away from my Stewart Grayhawk screen and the only way to comfortably watch a movie from this distance is to defocus the image enough to take the screen-door effect away to watch the movie. Then the movie looks very blurry and takes some time to get used to.
Are any of these problems happening to anyone else or should I call Sanyo for service? Does anyone want to make a recommendation on how to fix these problems if these are typical of this projector? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting really frustrated with the quality this projector has given me.... I'm thinking of either a JVC D-ILA or the Sony VPL-VW10HT but would really like to get this one working if at all possible.
Thanks so much,
Chris
