Guys, my optoma65 spoils already thanks to thunder.

So what should I get now ar?

main usage: Movies only.

Concerns :

If get back HDready projector, means getting back Optoma65 which seems stupid to do so

If getting Full HD one, cost me nearly RM10k (or at least RM8k more) which is too much for me

If getting LCD/Plasma, the size will be much much smaller, and i am a fan of projector for movies. Somemore i have a sorta dedicated room for movies. Besides, if get LCD/Plasma, then my projector screen will be wasted.

So guys, what you all suggest ar?

Budget: Around Rm5k only

Optoma HD20 selling around 5K.

Crazy to go back to smaller size screen.

yea, i just saw kuchingtiger thread....damned~!!!! yeay lol

Get cheap full HD proj now and wait for fancy full HD/3D proj to have massive price drop. Don't think I will go back to TV again. my 2 cents.

Once watch movies using HD projector, never turn back.. However I still use Plasma tv for astro..

get another optoma hd ready projector la

unless rm 5k can get u a 103" plasma

So how much is the 103" Plasma? RM200K?

Isnt the color kind of dull? I've seen projectors, the colors are flat

U need to have a dark room to get nice colours and contrast

bro, how did thunder spoil your pj? Was your pj on at the time?

i also got a hd65 and once got pj with 100" screen, how to downgrade to 50"??

the power cable is connected, the switch is on, but i did not on the projector

You mean...
1. Wall socket power switch is "on" but...
2. Projector power switch is "off"

And got hit by lighting?

It is unsafe to do so. Always unplug when not in use.

Get a HD20 since it is below RM5K now. Like other members mentioned, it will be too hard to go back to smaller screen size. I get used to my 92" screen. When watch movies / astro with the 50" plasma, kinda feel too small

Once you step in the projector world, there is NO turning back. It is just as addictive as in HD world.

1 word for advice is "Unplug" the wall socket when not in use. I know many ppl dont do that due to laziness. I have made it a habit to detach the power cable every nite before going to bed, just like u must brush your teeth before sleep. On another note, I have come across a frd who even going to the extreme to observe the weather condition before switching his mega bucks systems ON....LOL.

He probably also look at the stars to make sure they are all properly aligned with his birth date and making offering to the gods before throwing the switch. And LOL

Yeah, I have lost my words when he told us that today demo session has to call-off due to coming bad weather & predicted thunderstorm.

What did I tell you? His offering to the god was not being accepted. So no demo.

yes. well , cant blame it

i cant even switch back my house electric after it. the TNB fuse (the black thing at the meter there) also rosak

1 thunder, my PC motherboard, projector, auto gate, digital photo frame, 3 lights all rosak

tak tau is i sui or heng

Htkaki,u got sell?

I wana go test test laaaaaaa
Long time dint test ur system, that time go also test awhile niaaaaa

thats why. projector is so awesome compare to plasma and LCD

Now i sudah beli belkin, lol. so at least next time can claim for insurance? LOL

wah sam also know HTkaki ar.. kheng!
