I've had X1 for couple of months now but I changed the whole audio portion of my home theater, so ..

as I did that, I started thinking about upgrading the PJ. When I bought X1 I had no idea about projectors, and now I know better what I would be looking for. I would like PJ that will be/will have:


- DLP

- XGA resolution

- maybe Faroudja DCDi (working via component) - not sure if needed as I will have Marantz DV6400 DVD in couple of days which is Progressive Scan.

- about 2000 lumens

- about 2000:1 contrast

- component input

- will display 480i via component

- does not matter if 4:3 or 16:9 - but prefer 4:3


Uff, that will do. Ohh and not cost more then 3k


I was looking at NEC LT240k but can it display 480i by component input?



Thank for any help!

Ohh, come on there is no such projector?

The 240K has 2 RGB inputs that will accept a component signal from 480i and beyond. It sounds just about perfect for your needs.

But don't you want 480P with your Marantz anyway?

P.S. All you need is a Breakout cable. No expensive trans-coder needed.

Sure I do, but I also would like a PJ that will let me see OSD and volume control on screen from SR7400 receiver without switching cables (I only run component in the ceiling)


My X1 can not do that.


Is NEC LT240K the only option - isn't it already an old PJ?

The "K" version is not all that old, but there is always a new projector right around the corner. You could play that game forever. IMHO
