if u swap them instantly u will see the diff... but after swapping, watch it for 2minutes u will forget abt each weaknesses in movies... but if u use it for games or pc, ae4000's sharpness is not acceptable.. very obvious when u look at the text.. it will strain your eyes for sure

Yup..

Our eyes are even more adaptable than our ears.. if u liv wif a 720p unit long enuf, even tatll luk gud.. tongue.gif

But seriously.. for de price of a half decent 50 inch flat panel , de ae4k is a serious contender in my book [if u get it in Sg la]

There are other factors to consider too..

Bulb life is short compared to flat panels.. would be my utmost reason..

I hv my setup in de living room..
Wif thick curtains/tinted windows.. u can enjoy a mv in de daytime too but of cos nitetime viewin is better..

Compromises..

Once you go pj, there is no return tongue.gif

Since you are able to control ambient lighting, then a pj is the way to go. Nothing beats a pj for a cinematic feeling.

Elite Chew, your huge mansion can afford a nice big HT room. Only thing is to get approval from your HM.

There are only a handful of people that I hold high regard and respect. Unfortunately or not to you, your name is in the list tongue.gif

Since you had your new 50" and 42" Sammy recently thumbup.gif , I bet your Sony 50" must have been given to the maid to watch. Time to go pj liao with a better HT system.

My HDMI is from bluejeanscable.com which is Belden Series 1 bonded HDMI. The cable is thicker then most boutique brand. Tested running at up to 100ft for 1080p. I think testing HDMI cable to find the difference is difficult. As long as no white flashes or HDMI video drop issue should be good enough. Just not sure if it will work for future 1080p 120hz 3D. My cable length is 40ft.

Anyway, projectorreviews.com 4th annual comparison of 1080p projector in diff. price category is out.

Last time I use Audioquest HDMI-X cable. But after compare the cable built and gauge, looks like BJC Belden Series 1 is a better buy and well built too. Long run cable I believe in thicker wires. Previously the Audioquest is 9m but too short when I change to BENQ W6000 as I need the pull the projector further back.
