RE: Someone's trying to get me to try a Epson Powerlite home Cinema 9100

Might as well go for the 8100, unless their selling for the same price ($1300). Essentially the 8100 and 9100 are the same projector.

You do get

Support for an anamorphic lens ISF Certification, with two additional lockable modes for pro calibrators to use (ISF Day, ISF Night).
A third year warranty, and third year of the replacement program.
The Pro Cinema 9100 comes packaged with a ceiling mount, and a spare lamp.

Now if you don't need all those extras. I would opt for the 8500, BenQ W6000 or one of the Mitsubishi models in that range.

Before I spend $500 on a lamp, I would buy another projector.

Oscar, IMHO, you'd probably be better off buying a new Panny PT-AE4000U LCD front projector. - Audiophilander 10:32:27 05/05/10 (2)
