Planning to get a projector in the near future as well, but i can only use it in my medium room which is roughly 12x9 feets. Would it be too small for a projector? And how big the projector screen is best for a room with this size? |

But of course, if your screen big, higher resolution will give u better satisfaction. 12 x 9 ft room is ok. What you can do is, get an idea where to place the projector... get either Panny or Epson as these 2 models got high zoom lense therefore flexible. Then, once you got your projector, project it onto the wall. Sit on your sofa and see whether you like the screen size. Then you measure and either order or custom make. This will assure you won't get klass kambing when watch movie... |

I think i will get the 720P first as the 1080P is so darn expensive and no source to be found locally yet. So how much do your AX100 cost? around 6 to 7K right? And where do u get your screen as i believe it would be much cheaper to DIY it, well not for the framing though...Whether its a 720p or 1080p... this is up to you.

I do realise that I've read lmost every review on the 1080p projectors, but I feel better reviewing it myself in person.The Panasonic is the cheapest here though at 15k but we still don't know about the HC5k's price could be cheaper |

Where are the places in PJ/KL for good bargains on projectors and HT amp/speakers?
Only places I know are CMY, Mediaplex, Desa complex and few at Amcorp Mall. But prices-wise, not sure which has the best.... some carry different brands, so can't compare. Also heard a shop called Musical Image. |

From the listings in this thread there are quite a number of people looking for projectors both for 720p and 1080p native resolutions. You should always demo the various units in order to make an informed decision. Visit the multitude of forums to obtain feedback from owners.
Now it is usually not easy to locate demo units, but not impossible. The easiest is to call the HQ up and ask them for a demo or at least to point you towards a distributor that has demo units. It has worked for me. Here is a pic of the Epson TW700 that I and another forumer ordered.... we are a party of 2  .Here's a picture.....

Hi Guys,
I have just started a community service. Since I have done a lot of research on LCD projectors and prices, I have decided not to let that go to waste, and have the community benefit from it. Feel free to inquire. Projector Sale Thread |

Inroducing my Epson EMP TW700. Its up and running, and started playing with it, setting up and watching it last night. Lets just say I have not slept a wink since Friday 11:00pm.
Heres a photo journal of the projector: Heres the Box, survived the trip from Singapore intact. 
A closer look of the box advertising the projector inside. 
Open up the box and you will find the manuals (chinese and english only), remote control and power cord. 
Here is a closer look of the remote control. Incidently since I decided not to get the panny AX100, Epson thought it would benice to send me Panny's AA battery for use in the remote  
Remove the carboard containing the manuals and stuff, u arrive at the projector. Its pretty large and heavy. Its wrapped securely in foam. 
Take the projector out from the box carefully. 
Remove the foam and you find a beatiful projector. Wonderfully sculpted. Notice the foam right behind the lense, used to hold the assembly securely during transportation 
Top view 
Rear view 
View of all the connections available on the TW700 
Rear quater view 
Front view 
Top front quater view 
Close up of the lense assembly with transportation foam in place 
Onboard controls. Something you will rarely use!! 
Next I hook up the power cord and turn on the unit. The first thing I do is adjust the focus and zoom using the on board pattern. 
The blue screen has perfect colour uniformity. However I noticed that the 3 LCD panels were mislaligned by 1 pixel down and to the right. Not noticeable from viewing distance though. Next I start watching movies..... till 8am. My son is awake and I am going to attend to him for a while. I have the projected pictures posted later today.

So I am projecting onto a matt white wall. I intend to put up a floor to ceiling "thing" that will house the screen and lights etc.... Something like this... but nicer.... 
Pictures of the projected image have to wait till tomorrow. Have not sorted them out and have to attend to the family now.... Cheers |
