In Reply to: LCD Projector... Anyone? posted by DavidS on January 01, 2001 at 18:28:34:

Sony makes one the vwht 10 or something like that. I have seen it quite a few times. It is better than most lcd projectors and really has a stunning picture on hdtv. The blacks though are not as good as what you would get with a rear projection tv but most people would be happy to give up some black level for the otherwise beautiful and sharp picture. It is very easy to set-up and will work in your room. The unit retails for around 7000.00 but I see them sell on ebay for around 5000.00 new. Another option is the Marantz DLP projector which is brighter than the Sony and has better blacks but not the resolution of the Sony. It is about 10000.00 new. With either of these you will need a darkend room for the best picture but not nearly as dark as you would need with a crt projector. Go out and auditon the Sony LCD as I think it will suit your needs. If I remember correctly the Sony needs to be about 9 feet from the screen.
