For those of you who had the oppportunity to compare the Seleco with the Marantz which one would you buy. In your opinion which one had better color, contrast (black level) and brightness? I realize some of this is subjective since these two projectors and a few others represent the best of the best.

Has anyone witnessed a Marantz, Seleco shootout? Or is anyone planning one in the near future and could give us a report? What did you think? Thanks Greg Young

Hi Greg,


I think this is one of the 64,000 dollar questions on the forum at present. However, I doubt that a shootout will resolve much. From past experience, I would guess that the Sim2 is slightly less bright but the 6000hr lamp life and probably still with a more 'romantic' colour balance. All the ergonomic issues are still there eg Marantz sealed box, quieter, but industrial looking. Sim2 with some light spill from the bottom, more noisy but with a smaller, more sexy looking case. As for overall picture quality, my guess is that there will be little to choose between these pj's and the features will determine choice as much as anything. Lets wait and see,


Best Wishes,


Paul H
