Boss, thats the problem Malaysia la.

For my preference... actually Panny AX100 was the one but you can call it lucky or you can call it bad luck... But I got to move on.

The next closest to AX100 is Panny TW700. But actually, if you look at it (through readings), the spec is better than AX100.

Now, what other models or brand I can consider?
Optoma-110% out. If you read my previous posts, I mentioned it quite a number of times.
BenQ-Where to find?
Sanyo-Not bright enough.
Mitsubishi-Not bright enough.
The rest? All not at the same par with these.

So... where else I can go?

No need to mention other town... even in KL...
I called up Epson a few times. The sales ppl even got to find out the price for me. He mentioned "Not many units sold, so I got to find out the price for you, oh... I got it... its RM6698.00"

I was like

Then, he gave me some reseller numbers that can help me. So, I called. 1 number keep on engage. 1 number no people pick up (at 4.30pm) and another one... Yeah... got people picked up... But then, its a house number.



So... thats the thing. I guess its good that the Panny dealer gonna help me to buy. I have less hassles.

Yeah yeah!!! WHATEVER!

It was more than enough for me.
Now, I have tougher time ahead. Like I mentioned earlier... Panny-no SDE. Epson... SDE is obvious. Panny-Discoloration problem. Epson-No problem.

Haiz...



I made mine from Black out cloth. Cheapest and reliable. Yeah, you don't get the best but heck... its only about 20% of those in the market.

May be I am too used to Panny...
I can see the SDE or pixels even at 15ft from screen...
And I don't notice that in Panny.

Ya loh... I tried tweaked JAson's TW700. It works quite well. It was quite OK. But you know la... I don't have much choice. I love my AX100 when light is on watching ASTRO. Its really bright enough...

Those curtain... cetain type is good... Mine... I got from USA. But I saw some hotel using the same material.

Well, every one of it, buy 1 meter... bring it home... and test it. I won't be able to tell like which is better. You might have different likings compared to me.

Kekekeke... must keep the suspense a bit la.

Possible Pearl also...

As if I have choice...

Alamak.
I typed long long suddenly pressed wrong key and all gone. So, start again.

Eh... u two ah... just because I was away for 2 days, doesn't mean u can talk behind my back....

Anyway, the dealer called me up and said the best he can get is what Dirt's getting. So, cannot save some money. He will be getting the catalog for me to confirm it is the model. I don't want later when I say yeah yeah, I want TW700 but he buy me Epson 400. I die la.

If Prolite 1080, I dont mind la. : hehe:
Anyway, regarding TW700... when I watch AX100, I feel more movie like. Yeah, when u don't have something to compare, you might not know but since I've been watching it for like 4-5 months, yeah... its kinda obvious. May be I need some tweak or what 1-1 compare, I prefer AX100.
TW700 more like a normal projector.

But ... but...
ITs OK.

As for the mounting, I've just hinted my subcon that I am changing my projector. He was fast... "u just give me the measurement la"
Kekeke... No need pay money one. Ops... corruption here spotted. KAkakaka...

Anyway... if I can modify, I'll do it myself.

As for distance, well, its OK. I've just made the biggest commitment in my life. I just bought a house and probably if loan approve, I will be moving in by end of the year. Yeayy...

Thanks for all the poisonous needles poked... until I moved to Epson.

(psst... actually, no choice )

Ha! Ha! Well, really personal preference.

Actually, Jason... what do you do? Seems like you are a big business man.

Kekekek... side track a bit...

As for dirtrun, I think I know what u doing... kekekek...

Ya wo oh. Wild Hogs clear meh? I just bought some DVDs. Just got back from Sibu. Nothing great. Lotsa raid over there. So, the shops also scared to keep stock.

Seems like PsPBoy is getting heavy nowadays. Jason... may be its time to put your thread title to Home Theater project talk for budget players...

I donno why, but I seem to like you more everytime you reply. Kekekeke

Now, your statment is really true. If I were to spend that kinda money, if not RM10k on screen, I'd at least spend RM3k (10%) on the screen.

It is like driving a BMW 5 series and use Simex tyres. Although either Perillys or Michilin (note that I can't spell both names but Simex as I am on the Simex league) or Simex can still make your car moves, but heck... 1 sen price 1 sen goods la.

Oh, dirt, after this, I think I better follow you... In fact worse than you as I don't have a projector even...

You know... if you have spent RM100k, then you should spend at least RM10k on the screen.
You need a nice gray wolf or fox or dog screen but not Goo Paint. Don't save on that money. If you go to Projector Central and read, they did give you a rule of thumb on the screen.

Why? I started reading on screens when I got to know a 110" (white) commercial screen costs about RM3k. This was from an AV shop in Damansara. From that time, I know I only can afford DIY. But for you, you already 90% complete... why spoil the 10%?

Don't "jar" me like that la...

Haleluia!!!!!

He! He!...

I dare note talk about my experience here la as you all are high end fellas talking about Pearl la, Ruby la, Diamond la... me on the other hand, only got batu marmar (thats marble for you).


Anyway, I will post my screenshots in my Cinema in my Home section. As for the quality for the TW700... JAson, you need a screen. You know what? I prefer Epson than Panny!!!! Its brighter, color is stronger and I hardly can see the SDE even when I focused at the sharpest. I think the screen helped to smoothen the whole picture making it more movie like. Cheers. Check out my review later. I have yet to do it properly. Now, my whole living room looks like sh!t again.

One thing... seems like when I am using HDMI, I can't change to progressive or Interlace. So... how ah? I can't seem to be able to choose the resolution also.
