Re: Questions about front projectors and widescreen

I have a Sony VPL-VW10HT front projector. It uses three 16:9 LCD panels inside to project the image, so you would need a 16:9 screen. The picture is incredible on DVD's and even better on HDTV sources(HDNet). Some people complain about the "screen door" effect, but I don't notice it after 4 feet back from the 94" screen.

Sony is now producing an improved unit, the VPL-VW12HT. The retail is around $7,000. I got my 10HT a year ago for less than $4,000 from a local retailer (demo unit w/new bulb - zero dead pixels).

If you want a new projector, try Oade Bros at oade.com. They have great prices on Sony gear.
