Why do u say its dwindling? Becoz u see less posting in lyn? I think lyn attracts a different kind of crowd that's why.
As htkaki put it, pj requires a different setup that the posters here r not willing to do. Its a different crowd.

Nothing wrong in opening a thread like this and this does not prove that TS is not hardworking. Perhaps he wanted to surver the market before he can purchase it.

I was actually quite interested to buy projector. Last time I read a lot from this forum. But now when I really want to get it,
the hoohaa died down and I wonder if I should buy a projector since the market is small, the spare parts will be hard to get.

But dunno why he want to shoot me like that icon_question.gif

Then I think you should have worded your question differently.

The projector market will always be much smaller compared to TVs. I think some of the reasons have already been explained above.

If you want a projector, then be clear about its advantages and disadvantages. If you wanna know if spare parts are hard to get, ask about that. Instead you ask about if projector not suitable for HT?
*
but but.. .I said no more hot for HT la.. sometimes this technological things are fad mah... i seldom read in this forum, so I
just ask lor... i think dariofoo no need to shoot me like that sad.gif

QUOTE(Fusion @ Jan 21 2011, 02:13 PM)
hmpp....i think its dariofoo who is shooting you ....

anyway, if you have the space, nothing beats a projector. I have a panny AX100 project. Although its only a 720p, but the pleasure that you are getting from a projector is totally different from any LCD or plasma. With the right lighting and screen, the image is spectacular.

For me, my KL condo due to space constraint, i choose an LCD over a projector but if you have a dedicated HT room with the right condition for projector then nothing beats a full size projector image.

*remember to put aside your budget for a good screen.

thanks bro... i'll try to get more info then...

oh, but my budget is not rm8k... got anything around rm4k? 720p also I dun mind. But I don't want the color wheel because
I'm very sensitive to rainbow effect. tongue.gif

Hope this kills the myth that Plasma is on the way out and all those 'obsolete' tech rubbish once and for all. As far as PQ is concern, Plasma is still top dog.

"Plasma televisions have seen a major decrease in pricing. The price difference and aggressive LCD TV marketing has given the illusion that plasma televisions are on their way out. But that's not true. Plasma televisions are known for their true-to- life picture quality and affordability over the alternatives."

http://www.ehow.com/about_5379396_plasma-vs-led-tvs.html

I'm all for PQ. I'm Plasma afficianados. So each time people ask me I'll said buy plasma. But 9 out of 10 people will said buy LCD/LED.
This is deep into the society already. I believe that its hard to shake this off. At least in Malaysia, I believe people just buy LCD because
of bad advice from people around them. If can, I wanna shoot everyone that say LCD is better. sad.gif

Is bulb too expensive and price the same level as the projector a myth?

I remember last time dunno which model. Optoma 65 or what. Some one bundle with extra lamp. So I think
it could not be that expensive right? hmm.gif

In 2008, 720p is around RM 3.5k-6k
Now after 3 years, 1080p is RM 5k-20k
720p is still > RM 3k

then 1080p is more worth it =.=||

agreed. im also intrested to buy a projector. I just visited the projectorreviews dot com website.. just looking for the best 1080p project with my budget.. so far the mitsubitshi HC3800 is the best under $1500..

I can't seem to find projector in Penang. You said Mitsubishi HC3800 under RM4500. I wonder if the price is same in Malaysia.

All I can find is 720p from Dell

Dell 1610HD Projector for RM2699 and 3D ready.

gogo2, visualfoley,
its a step with no return :-), once u adjust urself to the big screen u will nv go back, and personally for the cheap 1080p projector, my friend got a Benq W1000, i thought for the kind of pricing, its very nice and its brightness can combat some ambience light if u plan to use it in the living room :-)

what is the lowest price you can get for BenQ W1000?

Definitely the price in Malaysia is not the same. It will be higher than what you see on the Net.

Also bear in mind the price you see online, u must add shipping. And remember there is no local warranty so if anything goes wrong then the repair will be more costly.
*
u mean, we can't buy it in malaysia? sad...

That means, the best Projector in malaysia is 720p from Dell at < rm3k?

I wonder if there's big different between the cheap 720p Dell and 1080p projector..

Plan to play with 720p with Dell first since its so cheap. Anyone use a Dell projector before?

As for HDMI cable, I am using this from Monoprice :

If >8m, then can consider this High Speed HDMI :
