OK guys. Its been too long and finally I am proud to show off my hard earned money and sweats along with it... Took me more than 2 months to complete it and now, I finally can enjoy it...

I started in October 2006 by ideas going through my mind... drawing sketches and searching for the right projector, searching for the right projector screen...

So, I started painting my living room around mid of November 2006. Got it done within 4 days or so... wife didn't help. Ha! Ha!... So, the house started look like sh!t since then until today because of rubbish and stuff.

Just want to thank my wife for being so understanding and supportive on this project. She did help me... a lot even when she should not...

I'll begin with one before I started the project... this was my house... apartment before...

This is the not completed wall

This is the completed wall (psst... thats my wife watching her fav 29" TV... Astro)
Note that I had aircon installed and new curtain as well. Didn't go for black out cloth material as they don't look so good.

Then, by 30th November 2006, I can considered the first guy in Malaysia got the projector...
First thing I do? Took it out, shoot it onto my red color wall...

After figuring what size I can actually project through this baby, I sent my screen material to a frame maker and asked him to make 110 x 57" screen...
Wasted... I didn't take pics of how we brought the ready made screen up my apartment... Imagine 9-foot long screen. It couldn't go into the lift... so, we got to carry through the stair case. And the 9-footer couldnt twist and turn... so, we got to hold it in the middle of the stair case and we walk up holding it and passing it up slowly. Wow... the best exercise I ever did. He! He! And that was 10pm that day... it was around 10 Dec 06.
And here is the result

Now, my first try was on my dining table using a foot stool .

This one from another angle... The room is still messy as things not complete yet...
user posted image
And this is my HDMI cable I bought... 15m length...
user posted image

This pulak... my S-Video cable... 20m length. Its not so good as it starts to give me problem now.
user posted image

OK... now, mounting my projector onto the ceiling was the hardest job I ever done. Drilling 4 wall plug holes was like taking my whole life... till today, I still feel tired... kakaka flex.gif flex.gif

Here is the finished product.

Hello. After some time quiet down and enjoying my projector... I guess it is time for me to add up my story. Or else, there is no fun to it. Well, AX100 is giving me the period again... I have sent the unit back to Panasonic for repair but they are still unable to resolve the problem... here is some shots which I took to show to the Panny's tech staff...

New Entry-28 Oct 2007

OK. So, what happened to me lately? Well, I got a baby. Ha! ha! So, life is totally different when you have a baby. Hardly watch movie on my projector but my uncle uses it for Astro. So, my new projector got 300+ hours and still kicking. What new projector?
Oh yeah... I've got my refund from Panasonic. It was quite troublesome anyway... and now, I am using .... ten... ten... ten.... Epson TW700.
Here is some pics on the item itself.

This is the box... tongue.gif

Most important is the picture quality right?
Well, I can't remember which camera setting (my digital camera) I was using but heck...
I am using Black Theater 1

This shot is taken from my DVE DVD. Its a bit difficult to go right to which calibration image from this DVD as you need to go through the whole DVD. user posted image


I am trying to use back the same shots with my Pana earlier. So... here it goes...

My favourite testing DVD...

Kakaka... when I first got my satellite and blasted it... the security guard also came and told me that my neighbor complain too loud. Kekeke... that was watching LOTR-Pt 1... and before my projector came. So, satellite is more than enuff for my small apartment

Why the wall must being red? Does red reflecting more when direct light towards it? So, it will make the projection's picture more brighter & vivid, rite?

Just wild guess..i first time seeing red..

Btw, if i got a mini theather like u.. I won't allow ppl to eat popcorn & Not even Char Kuey Teow..

We drink champagne...haha.

I was just bout to say why no air-con..haha..
Good job.. I hope the air-con won't dripping water onto the screen.

That was my first impression as well. But out of the blue, I went searching for a projector. I thought... heck... if a 42" plasma gonna cost me arount RM8k... why not try this...

Why red? Well, its warmer color. A perfect home cinema should be black and preferably velvet of carpet the whole room including the wall and ceiling. But that will make the room like ghost house. Ha! HA!
So, being red, its nice and darken the wall. I have to minimise the number of walls that will reflect the projection. I still got my floor and ceiling which is still white.

About the aircon, its nice. If drip water, I will come slap your big mouth... kakaka vmad.gif vmad.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Panny says its 2000-3000 hours depending on mode. Meaning around 2k + the bulb needs to be changed. Bulb price is around RM1600-1700 each.

very nice set up there! even your BEFORE pics already quite a cosy apartment.

interested to see how is your living room look like right now, planing to get any new sofa set?

Thanks for the compliment. As for new look, I will take pic tomorrow. Now still cleaning it up after installing it. Satu orang buat geng.... Wife not helping... kekeke...

As for Sofa, I guess I will stick with this for time being. I changed the cover already. Earlier was white color, now, brown gold...

Ha! Ha! You are the 2nd one to notice that. First was my wife. Kekekeke. I hit hard on the ceiling. My drill couldn't go through. Kakakaka... I need about 1.5inch deep. But that last one, only less than 1inch. So... I opted out lo. Still can hold. Actually 1 wall plug can hold my whole body weight but just want to make sure...

Hmmm... Feature wall ma. Nowadays all houses also got 1 feature wall. If not red then dark purple or dark green... or brown or something. So, don't you think it fits nicely with the white screen? Anyway, at night, when all the lights are off, you can't see anything.

You can put far far also can. But recommended by Panny is 20feet if not mistaken. The further you put, the more washed out you will get... thats all.

Fantastic sharing!

You've set a new benchmarking to all by setting up home theather with Projector right in the living hall. It's a brilliant idea for not letting space as a constraint to enjoy our life . notworthy.gif

You are not comparing apple to apple. That projector has only got 1000 lumens, meaning you need full darken room to get the best picture.
It only got 8 bit color processing whereas this Panny got 10bit. Meaning less color processing. Lazy to get the actual number but its a lot of difference.

At least if you compare to HD72, then yeah... its ok to compare.
DLP or LCD, its all up to individuals. But since you mentioned it here, I can always condemn DLPs
1) Lense Shifting is reall pain in the a**
2) Zoom usually very low, 1.2x? Whereas Panny got 2.0x.
3) Rainbow effect? This only happens to DLP
4) Screen door effect? Usually this happens to LCD but this Panny eliminated it. So, you get a smooth screen even at 1 foot away from the screen.

You have the will, then u will get it. Nothing is impossible.
One thing, we always spend on small small things... new gadget handphone, MP3, PDA, camera, PS3 when it first launched then sell then buy... then sell, then buy. In this way, we lost a lot of money... bit by bit... few hundred here, few hundred there. Buy this t shirt, that t shirt, that expensive nike shoes...

Know what I mean? Yeah... I saved for it. and its worth every sen I spent on it.

Yep, projector cld be costly as it can be as power hungry as plasma tv. the only thing is the short life span of the bulb if you use it to watch Astro. Not to mention the price of the bulb.

What is wrong with TNB bills? Power consumption is only 290W. Ha! Ha!... Thats something like your fridge or your old TV.
Like what htkaki says, the only worry is the bulb.... Definitely.

Lets say the bulb gonna blow at 3000 hours if I use Econ mode all the way... And 1 day I watch average 4 hours... I have 750 days. Thats about 2 years. Heck, by then, I should get new model. Kekekekeke...

3000 hours is d lifespan of the projector bulb......the lifespan depends on what mode r u using ....if u use d brightest mode it will probably last bout 1500-2000 hours only.....after tat normally the bulb will just burn and u have to replace the bulb ....its cost bout 1k+ for the bulb.....

It's cool to have an aquarium this way, very neat and space saving so will changing water for your fishes a hassle? I might wanna do that for my home in the future because my aquariums are talking a lot of space. sweat.gif

By the way, if you output the video in 1080i, will your projector be able to handle it? Will it flicker more in 1080i. I tried using 1080i on my Bravia, the text has a little ghosting, tried this from my Sony 76H and my XBOX 360. So, now, using 720P. If there's 1080P to try, I would like to try but I guess I'll need to change to Bravia X if I wanted to. doh.gif

Changing water? Thats really troublesome. But any aquarium, for me, changing water is troublesome. tongue.gif

I didn't really test much on the 1080i coz when start already feel not so nice.

My projector can take 720p or 1080i. But not 1080p.

I am playing at 720p. My projector is capable of doing 720p/1080i and I am using a HDMI player, therefore, it is upscaled to 720p.

DVD player only using Sony NS76H... I am too lazy to hook up my comp. I wanted to but lazy. If I want, I can just go Pasar Road, get a 5m VGA cable or I can get a DVI/HDMI convertor, plug into my computer and play. My streamyx is really slow. Downloading takes too long. Why? I donno...

Yo... brother...!!! wave.gif

The bulb will cost you around RM1600-1700...
Projector has never been cheaper than RM1000. May be some old model but definitely not new models.

So, it is consider heavy investment but the feeling is just too great... kekeke brows.gif brows.gif

yeah...black background is good....i use a really large black curtain stretched behind my pull-down draper screen to have that higher 'contrast' look...

with a black background and very low light, your screen will look like it's floating...damn impressive...

PJ is really a good deal if you can control your lighting ambience...heck i'm using a dell 2200mp (2000:1 contrast ratio) for nearly 3 years already and i'm still having fun with it.

Of course the contrast / colour will look a bit funny if u compare it to the newer DLPs - but hey, for the amount of money i paid those days when projector were still new i Msia...i think i made the right investment...

remember those days - even a Sanyo Z1 costs nearly RM7K....and i bought the Dell which i think is quite good - for only RM4K. And Dell is really really generous with cables i tell ya. And don't talk about the prices of plasma those days....

if anybody wanna start cheap with a projector...just get the current budget Dell for RM2K only, or those cheap Optomas...then once u have more $$$ upgrade...for casual DVD viewing, a cheap good SVGA projector is ok lah for starters...but of course the pic quality wont be on par with those HD 720p DLP...but it's better than none.

i dunno if cheap data LCD could give good video quality...but i think DLP will provide u a relatively better video quality for budget projecots

now...i guess one could get a really low budget simple HT projector set with this

projector 2500
HT setup 1000
screen 300 (DIY cheaper...)
misc (curtains etc) 1000
Total = +- RM5000 only...hehe...

cool huh?

But if you have loads of money - of course buy the proper HT ones lah which has 16:9 panels....i'm poor, so that's why i'm calculative...hehe

cheers!

Timothyy, I was just wondering whether the replacement bulb for the projector is very expensive kah? A few hundred, right? Any idea? I'm asking for my friend, hope you can shed some light here. I don't trust the salesmen, they said very cheap only lah and the bulb lasts a lifetime. Hai ...... salesmen talk again.  doh.gif

bulbs for normal HT projector will always be > RM1500...or is it higher?

that's why i chose the Dell...the bulb is only about RM600+...a lot lot lesser than the normal price of other models...But havent check the latest price.

not that Dell is that good...but for those who are on a budget...you'd see its benefits...

if u guys dont have the dough...just go and shop around all those cheaper projectors out there and do lotsa demo demo demo...

i think one fine day when i have loads of money...i'll get a proper 1080p projector...hehe...one fine day lah, when hd dvd titles are darn cheap too....we can always dream, can't we?

Aiya,

Wan to think of price of maintenance cannot play already le...

Electronic gear where can count like dat, it is a hobby that most of de time u can share with family and friends, at least a HT can...

I once read a Mat Salleh say everytime u watch a movie drop in a dollar(3 bucks for usle) and after 1000hrs u will have 500/-(1.5k for us) and that will be enuff to look for bulb already ... besides if u take ur family to GSC or Mega Pavillion it is gonna set u back at least 40/-(incl of parking) so this is a pretty good deal IMO.

Cheers

yeah...black background is good....i use a really large black curtain stretched behind my pull-down draper screen to have that higher 'contrast' look...

with a black background and very low light, your screen will look like it's floating...damn impressive...

PJ is really a good deal if you can control your lighting ambience...heck i'm using a dell 2200mp (2000:1 contrast ratio) for nearly 3 years already and i'm still having fun with it.

Have you heard this before? "Poor man pays twice"? Well, I just learnt this phrase and am sticking with it. (Actually, I am using this tactic to get my colleague to buy Nikon D80 tongue.gif)

Anyway, getting a projector with not even wide screen and 640 x 480, door effects, and etc... might as well just bring back your office multimedia projector every night and use it to watch your DVDs on the wall. Don't even need to spend money on screen.

If no money today, save it and don't buy it now. Most people who want to venture into projector is because want to experience the cinema effect at home...

Why we want to save 1-2k on the projector and regret later... ? Don't buy that N95 but instead, get a 3300 handphone tongue.gif. Or like what dirtrun says, everyday, put few ringgit into the piggy bank, by 1 year, you will get 1-2k to top up and get a good home projector.

The feeling is 100% difference. I bought back my office Hitachi multimedia projector and also my wife's office Sony pj to test... you can never experience the same feeling I am having right now.

Something like you tfk and real *tuutt*... yeah... both also come out but ... heck... u know what I mean la.

Anyway... it depends on your needs. If you just want to watch a movie for the sake of knowing the story... get a CRT, subscribe to Astro Movie channeles. This way is the cheapest.

hear u man...but seriously, an svga dlp is not all that bad...i stress dlp...not lcd...i guess u probably had seen early model svga lcds from that Hitachi or whatever...the screen doo effect sucked.

That's why ppl always only talked about dlp in the early days when they talk about HT projector coz the lcd couldnt really bring good contrast or less pixel into the pics.

Reviews in projectorcentral and you'll see how dlp reigned those day. But then Pana and Sanyo upgraded their LCD technology, and voila - we got good looking videos from lcd now.

Heck, to this minute, i feel that my cheapo dlp dell has a better video quality than the Sanyo Z1 those days...and all for a fraction of a cost of the Z1.

Now we have Z3 already...i'm late! hehe

one of the good advice that ppl in avsforums thought me is that - if you wait for the next best projector - you'll never gonna buy any coz the technology changes so fast.

So maybe it could be better if ppl could buy the best technology there is today - and enjoy the technology as it is now. If ppl r gonna wait and wait - there's no end....hehe...and although patience is a virtue, too long a wait can make us go psycho as well. But that is whta i think. No harm waiting....but when u get a projector, do this - stop reading reviews! You're gonna have tha buyer's remorse and that is something which u do not want to go through...

Actually i got into this projector deal when ppl were raving about infocus x1 over at avsforums...like 3, 4 years ago...was constantly lurking in the forum every single day those days. Then came Benq 6100 into the scene and ppl were raving about it as well. I wanted to get the BenQ back then- but i guess a bit too late to Msia. No one even heard of BenQ that time...haha

And during that time, there were very very few ppl in Msia who are into projectors...so since i can't wait anymore and money wasn't really that much...i just jumped into the bandwagon...actually got the dell because it has some sort like a 14 day monye back guarantee...got it, tried it and had the wow factor - the wow factor was quite similar when i got when i tried infocus x1 those days (the xi was about RM5K+ i guess - the dell was just RM4K+..so why pay more?)...so the dell was a keeper...

if it sucked i think i would have had sent it back already...haha

and yes, if any of u are wondering - an svga dell can give a better pic than your regular tv if you know how to tweak it properly. And of course the large screen size will make u want to throw your tv too...but for cheap dlp svga, better to not go beyond 80"...heck, i'm only having a 70" - enough for me ler...

So, my point here is just to tell the ppl here that u dont really need to have rm10K to start a hobby like this...ppl in the west started with only a Panasonic AE100 4, 5 years ago - and they still had the wow factor back then coz that was the best technology...now AE100 is considered jurassic already i think - bad screendoor this baby has..hehe

but Tim - nice setup - when i have some more money (dunno how?) - i'll surely upgrade

i'll try to post some screenshots of my el-cheapo theater soon...watching LOTR or The Matrix there still brings me the wow factor for the modest price i paid - so who say cheap is always bad?

Always wonder about DLPs .... the big plus is the high contrast and vivid colors. But hearing about the headaches from watching movies for too long, I really wonder if it's psychological. I myself haven't got a chance to watch a long movie from DLP ... so can't quote. Maybe to some, the headaches is not because of the spinning wheel, but from the high contrast causing the eyes to strain.

Curious .... to owners with high contrast ratio projectors (DLP or LCD), when watching in the dark, do you actually adjust down down the contrast (in the end back to square 1....low contrast)?


Added on February 1, 2007, 8:39 amTimothyy, good effort you done there.

Took some balls to paint such a high contrasting color on that wall ..... the opposite of your overall home's color theme.

Looking at the mount, looks like you skipped the 4th screw on purpose... too much effort required right?

Thanks for the compliment.
But you need to check out some OK budget projectors now. Since you owned the Dell for so long, why not check out some new range now? Cheaper ones like Optoma or even Epson... Check it out. If want good package, AE900 is giving free bulb which costs around RM1600.

DLP projectors are not like last time anymore. Many things have been minimised.

Anyway, on the 4th screw, I couldn't get the drill penetrate (sound so XXX) deep enough. So, I got to skip it. 3 wall plugs is more than enough.

Since you are so DIY-type, just cut the screw and stick the head into the hole (also sound so XXX) with super glue. At least it will look balance and save your explanations to your visitors.

I did ask the dealer who sold me the projector. It was a universal mounting and she wanted to charge me RM280 just for the mounting alone.

Furthermore, my mounting was 17 inch long. Of course, it is not as flexible as universal mounting...

I got a question, where do u put your crt tv? Put it at the corner? Or in the room? I have to drop the idea of setting it up in my medium room cause my brother is going to stay with me. If i put it in the living room just above my 32" LCD, it will be too high. and i cant afford to move the LCD everytime i wanna use the projector. Thinking of using motorized screen, but heard that the screen may get crumble overtime, plus its a lot more expensive that a fix screen. I am having an idea that making a screen like yours, then mount it in the way that it can be slide in from the side with some slider like a sliding door, since i have plenty of space on the left. Hmm, must be a lot of work. Oh to be able to do that i must first wall-mount my LCD since now it is sitting on a carbinet. Anyone did this before? Not sure how it will wroks?

I have made a 84" (16x9) screen from white plywood (those for furniture) 4 years ago, and painted it with ICI Pentalite Misty Evening (for those who followed AVS forum would know this favorite paint for grey screen at that time) I have hung the screen like a picture frame.

Goto Ace Hardware to buy the smooth roller, and paint it with the roller. The result is amazing as the board will have some fine texture.

All the other equipment are DIY, including wiring, mount and installation.

My screen is made of plywood, wall on the screen painted with pentalite black, surrounding wall painted with Jotun Burgundy Red (top half), bottom half sticked with Superlon sheet for sound absortion and curtains are Burgundy velvet material. Of course, the sofa beds are from Macys' Burgundy Red.

Enjoy rclxm9.gif

Your screen seems small for your room's size. Why not 100" instead? Well cant judge from the picture, but do u have the cinema feel when playing in a pitch black condition?

The length of the front wall is only 11 feet, and the width of my room is 19.5 ft.

I have placed my Sanyo Z2 half of the width, approx 10' from the front wall. It is one of the best distance to reduce screendoor.

Furthermore, 8' x 4' plywood, the best I could do is a 7 feet (measured diagonally) 16 x 9 screen. Please bear in mind... everything is DIY on the screen.

1. Frame made from recylced pine wood RM0
2. 8' x 4' plywood, price RM25
3. Pentalite Misty Evening RM20
4. Pentalite Black RM20
5. Roller RM35

Cinema Feel - better to watch at home as I am able to lay back on the sofabed to watch the movie. Dolby Digital or dts sound - maybe better than some cinemas as I have a complete 7.1 system with a Paradigm subwoofer.

karyeowl - nice setup...feeling like i'm reading avsforum. Didn't know that Msians have lotsa 'secret' cinemas in their houses...

You're using a Z2? Any plans to upgrade?

And do u still have your crt? Where do u place it?

My setup is purely temporary (although it's been there for nearly one year) coz i only use a smallish draper pull downscreen for now (it's hanging in front of a storeroom door which sometimes need access to). But the best part is that the setup can be taken on and off as and when necessary...

I think the setup is suitable for 1-2 person, but heck it's a lot better than watching a movie in a smallish 29" crt....with a widescreen dvd...pic will look very much smaller there...haha

Don't have proper space yet to put up a dedicated fixed screen. Surely DIY will be my way to go unless Stewart can produced some mass cheaper screens...or some good China made screen someday?

post more HT pics guys!

I am still using the Sanyo Z2, and so far so good. Bought it 4 years ago at RM8000. Very expensive. Spent RM600 for Belden RG6 cable for the component cable. All these activities are no linstallation cost, all DIY.

No plan to upgrade because of no budget. If I built my home theater now, I will go for Pany AX100.

As for CRT, I have them in my room (29" Sony KiraraBasso) and living room (29" Philips) I may wanna look for an affordable plasma 42" for my living room. I have a Yamaha S120 HTinBox in my living room.

What you see in the picture is my HT room. I rarely watch Astro on my projector, only DVDs and my wife's karaoke.

I bought the TV cabinet. Earlier i purchased a Philips LCD TV as well, prior to the projector. Bought it from the Court Mammoth but returned coz i wasnt satisfied with the pic quality. Rugi the first payment only. Then i bought an Optoma EP716, which is a data projector but faulty. Finally, i got this H27 for less than 4K, and im satisfied with it for the such pic quality as compared to the price i have paid. Its definitely better than the LCD TV. The screen is a diy screen, made of some woods and a few feet of "Khaki" cloth...painted with greyish Jotun paint. Maybe id like to try that ICI Pentalite "Misty Evening" mentioned by Karyeowl. rolleyes.gif

Most of the jobs were DIYs. Yup, the bulb is quite costly but its just the price we have to pay once ventured into the front projection screen. Did some maths, the most lets say 3 hrs per day, the bulb has been said to last for 3000 hrs. So...it will come to 2.5 yrs at least before the bulb gives away. Moreover, it is not necessarily that the bulb will go kaput as it reaches the 3000 hours mark. Though, the brightness will be less by then. One way...keep a piggy bank...whenever use the pj...put some money in lor. Appproximatley RM3 per hour. moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif Its like going to the cinema. RM8 for a movie. Got to be prepared! Hehehehehe. Personally, i never care bout it as i just want to enjoy the thrill of watching DVD while im still able to do that. I dunno, its just me. hmm.gif shakehead.gif

to save on bulb replacement, maybe can do this...get a tabung and put near the HT...everytime u watch put RM1 or whatever $ u have into the tabung...i'm sure after the bulb reaches it's peak...perhaps at 3000hrs...you would have rm3000 in the tabung....hehe...then can already upgrade the projector meh...isn't this a fun way of saving.

btw - i always that my HT centre speaker is not loud enough? if i increase the master volume, it feels like the other speaker will drown the centre volume...how come eh? or maybe it's just me with this problem...

so to avoid this, i tend to bring the centre nearer to my viewing area....

any good advice on rectifying this?

cheers

Your setup is nice. I like your setup. How wide is your screen? Try the Misty Evening... pretty good for a DIY grey screen.

He! He! brows.gif The equipment picture you all saw was 3 years ago. Those day, I had a Yamaha DSP-A2070 + Sony 9ES Dolby Digital processor, Sony DVD player (already 7 years), AIWA Tape Deck, Yamaha CD Player and Tuner.

I have upgraded my AVR to Marantz SR7500, and I have 3 DVD players. One LG normal progressive scan and Rogers DV525 (upconverting DVD) I have not taken the latest picture.

My Yammy and Sony processor are now resting gathering dust. cool2.gif who wants it?? rclxms.gif

I got a question, where do u put your crt tv? Put it at the corner? Or in the room? I have to drop the idea of setting it up in my medium room cause my brother is going to stay with me. If i put it in the living room just above my 32" LCD, it will be too high. and i cant afford to move the LCD everytime i wanna use the projector. Thinking of using motorized screen, but heard that the screen may get crumble overtime, plus its a lot more expensive that a fix screen. I am having an idea that making a screen like yours, then mount it in the way that it can be slide in from the side with some slider like a sliding door, since i have plenty of space on the left. Hmm, must be a lot of work. Oh to be able to do that i must first wall-mount my LCD since now it is sitting on a carbinet. Anyone did this before? Not sure how it will wroks?

Well, there are 2 types of projectors available in the market.. multimedia and home theater.

Dell Malaysia more onto Multimedia projectors where as what we discuss here mostly on home theater.

Usually, multimedia PJ has

High lumens, low contrast

Home theater PJ has
Low lumens, high contrast

Prior to Optoma H27, i used to own an Optoma EP 716 (had it for a week), which is a data projector. The difference is quite distinctive. Black levels and colours are the two most distinguishable elements while comparing the two. When i first lighted up the H27, i simply went "WOW".... rclxm9.gif Thats was my experience...i dunno about others.....

Ever heard a phrase saying "when a one eye man in a town full of blind men, he is considered the king?" Something like this la...

Kekeke...

Anyway, what I am trying to say is, when u have nothing to compare, of course you will go whatever that you have. I used to watch movies from office projector projecting onto the white board or wall paper.

Once you have tried the home theater projector, don't think you will ever want to go back to the conventional multimedia projector.

i believe the term of true HT projector was only invented like 3,4 years years ago...

Beofere that, the one that had the traits of both a good data projector and video porjector those days was the dlp infocus x1 - mainly because it has the popular Faroudja chip that could handle video efficiently...

if u wanna wait...tim's right - go for the more expensive HT projector that u can find when u have the money

but if u think u can't wait anymore.. and has only rm2500 to spare and think that u can only have RM6000 in 3 years time - that'a a long wait, ain't it? so maybe u can just take the plunge and go for the dell or those entry level dlp svga projectors which is < rm3000...

a dell is good enough (if i dont compare it to a RM6000 ht projectors ler)...seriously coz i own a dell...

back in the days when HT projector in msia there was only ht projectors like sanyo z1, pana ae200, benq pb100, infocus x1...and dell was kinda on par with those...trust me - i've seen them all those days...dell was not all that bad...

it's a dlp, so the blacks were acceptable and the contrast ratio at 2000:1 which was way better than those offered by the sanyo and pana which were lcs those days...(albeit they have proper ht 16:9 panels)

those early days = any reputable dlp projectos will normally triumph against any lcd 'claimed' ht projector...

so i tell u what - try getting a dell and make sure u get the 14 days money back guarantee that they should still be offering....use it and if u think you're find with it, keep it. if not...send it back lah...haha...nothing to lose right?

i did this too and i kept mine.

But make sure u have a proper HT setup already in placed to do the test...meaning good screen, area, sound system, lighting etc etc...then u can really know if u can live with a multimedia projector or not

then when u strike lottery - of course buy those expensive ones...

actually by getting the cheap dell - i managed to fulfill my hobby with my limited money those days - i got my budgetl HT setup, and still have ample dough to get myself 4 electric guitars + multieffects, and attend most of the expensive mega rave parties that were orgnanized back then - without having to suffer too much...

imagine if i had to save all those other expenses for just the projector...i would have to stay at home with my exisitng 14 inch for years and having only to play my kapok - simply becoz i need to save...and i guess life would be a bit boring, would it? hehe

but hey, this is just a poor man's advice...i've tried waiting those days for funds t come...heck, waiting sucked! haha...coz having to wait and having to save from doing a lot of things that u'd want to do sucked even more when u wait...and remember we're not getting any younger...that sucked a lot lot more!

live life with a projector...but don't let a projector live your life....

oh...i'm not making sense maybe...sorry

Well said bro ... nice seing u here ... well me been dwelling with ht for upteen years currently settling with my Tosh/Marantz/Jamo ...!!! ?? but its ok/rel set up.
next thing is either a 42 (lcd/plasma) or a projector.
I have personally reviewed at least 7-8 projectors in my set up (some borrowed/loan/friends /office etc etc).. i've noticed for a practical used in Malaysian house, any lcd/dlp with reasonably 1000 ilumes will do. My best was a "KODAK" which was years ago with TI chips (cant remember the model...)... but my point is even getting an optoma 706 for mere rm 2.2 k is justified if proper callibration is done. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

haha...nice seeing another 'musician' into HT too here...cool man! Damn, don't you sometimes wish we have cheaper hobbies that don't require us to upgrade stuff constantly from time to time? haha

yeah...agree with u. Some data projector , esp dlp ones are not all that bad coz u can always calibrate them our own satisfaction...coz not everybody has RM6000 to spend for this specific hobbies.

i know Optomo can do good video too...the best thing is to demo them out to your satisfaction. Used to read good reviews on this brand's video quality....

so bro - just get the Optoma for rm2.5K...and for the rest of the money, save a bit and get yourself a plasma...then u have all there! The plasma for daily usage, the projector for those special moments which require some gigantic pics. Actually this setup is kinda normal for other parts of the world...and quite practical as well.

I'm an advocate of 'pilihan praktical dan bijak'...mainly coz i'm poor and have to work my ass off to really have more money for my hobbies...but if you guys have rich dads to 'pow', of course get them to buy ler...haha

i remember those days in England where some frens had to starve to save money in order to buy those hi-end hi-fi stuff...and they got it lah...but sadly they had no extra money for other things, like travelling etc. So they ended up living in their apartment and going nowhere, literally.

I got my hi-fi stuff too...got myself a HK, Mission, some other dodgy brand which i can't remember..all from Richer Sound's cheap sale catalogue...but since i didn't spend that much on these, I still had some money to spare too for my travellings across Europe etc...

Back to projectors, actually nowadays coz of me being busy and all...i rarely have the chance to actually have some free time for movie-watching...

Coz i think if u have a splendid HT system with those hi-end LCOS projector which costs a bomb but have no time to watch, won't that be a waste?

Still...if you have the money...go and buy true HT projectors...now I have some extra cash...but i'm contemplating whether to use this to get a HT projector or upgrade my car...decisions decisions decisions...

hmm...am i making sense again here?

WAH ... U all got big plans for de Dell Pj huh... I have lobang to get this at a discount but it was not in de plan at all... Not tat I am knocking it or anything but since u have to come out for half de amount already why stop there de Optoma hd70 is hovering ard 5k only and this is a proper 16:9 HT pj...

No amount of calibrating will bring out contrast issues - brightness of cos no problem le... I dunno le maybe I been in this hobby too long already and if you dont go with your heart with this kind of thing and go by wallet, in the long run Upgraditis will hit you and hit you bad and in the end you will waste more money. BTW I am not rich I work real hard(2 jobs) for my money and it boils down to priorities...

dell can't replace any proper HT projector...but for RM2k it does provide ok video value lah...and yes, i heard some Dell models has some major light leakage issues...that's why it's freakin cheap! haha...but if u can 'customise' your viewing area to minimise these nuisance, it's not too bad...

yesterday i just saw Malena and Jarhead with my cheapo Dell...hate the dvd video quality of Malena but i was impressed by Jarhead - so i guess the video quality of the source play a really important role as well...and i used the portable Philips dvd player prog scan function for this - i just realisd that the Philips dvd player internal scaler is not that great....

anyone know any good cap ayam dvd player that can give good prog scan...or thise medium range ones? or should i just try HTPC for a change? hmm...

still, Malena, despite its video flaws...the lead role look 'awesome' anytime! hehe...

carpathia - if u have rm5K, by all means go for a proper HT 16:9 panel projector...coz upgrading later would not be cost-effective as well...dunno how much u have now but if u can save a bit more - go for the better ones if u can...

Slower than your JVC? In what sense? Navigation speed? Time taken to read the dvds? Honestly, JVC has stopped selling dvd players, they have removed them from their website. Honestly, the 76H is value for money at this price, it reads all discs perfectly even though it's no high end machine, it is still a decent performer. My aunt just got one to match her new Samsung LCD. Using it to watch those TVB serials on dvds. Hahaha. Overkill eh?

Not my baby ler, our baby. We're both using the same model leh and I'm still using it now. Just fell in love with the 76H, really trouble free.

I didn't know that the player is slow because if compared to my old Pioneer, it's slightly faster and the layer change for dual layered discs is smooth, unlike my old Pioneer, it will pause for a second or two before the second layer plays.

Well, how to compare Pentium III and Pentium Core 2 Duo? Kekekeke... Its the same. At that time, it might be the best but now, new models come and go.

Sony 76H is OK for me. smooth. The slowness does not bother me so its ok.

Just strip the cable's jacket and splice it with more wire, that's all. You'll probably have to get a soldering iron and some solder to do this, but heck it isn't that hard. 2 Minute job at most.

2min? This I donno but yeah... you can do this.

What kinda cable? Usually, surround sound is not that important. So, normal copper cables can do the job. Unless you have expensive audio system then you might want to look into monster cables and such... but that will end up more expensive than your pioneer satellite.

Either RM5 per meter or RM1.50 per meter...
Rule of thumb is... if the original is this size, you don't need to get the additional one double the size... same size will do.

But if the ori is using silver coated, then its better to follow...

some time silver colour is just colouring. or lead / timah. not silver.
silver plated cable (SPC) suppose to be much more expensive.
i suggest u get some pure copper cable. it sounds is more natural.

Well,usually, those pioneer or LG or Samsung satellite system use normal copper cables. Size also may be 1.5mm only. So... nothing much to worry. Any cables as long as good soldering job, will give u ok sound.

Firstly, thanks for the complement.

On the CPU DVD... now, try playing your DVD on Windows Media Player and other DVD player software like Power DVD and compare the quality... you will see the difference...

That is why I am solely using a DVD player for DVDs. I got a kinda high end computer but still not using it as my HTPC...

Well, those HDMI DVD players basically will help to upscale you movies to 720p or 1080i. Of course, you will need to use HDMI cables.

If you want to go 1080p, you will need blu ray disc or HDDVD... but for time being, you might not want to invest on such new tech... wait another 3 or 4 years... it will get cheaper.

Right now, 720p is enuff...

I just had a look at your projectors colour uniformity issue. It is a lot worse than the unit that I auditioned, where the cyan and red bars only appeared on the extreme left and right of the screen, about 1.5cm only.

In your case it is visible when watching movies and this is annoying. As such it is serious enough to warrant a replacement or refund. How are you progressing with Panasonic on that front?

Just want to add that I detect some Hot Spotting on your screen, i.e. the center of the picture is a lot brighter than the sides. This is due to the screen material used. I am using a matt white wall, and on very bright scenes like snow or paper/map scene in LOTR, you can just about detect the hotspot.

I just had a look at your projectors colour uniformity issue.  It is a lot worse than the unit that I auditioned, where the cyan and red bars only appeared on the extreme left and right of the screen, about 1.5cm only.

In your case it is visible when watching movies and this is annoying.  As such it is serious enough to warrant a replacement or refund.  How are you progressing with Panasonic on that front?

Just want to add that I detect some Hot Spotting on your screen, i.e. the center of the picture is a lot brighter than the sides.  This is due to the screen material used.  I am using a matt white wall, and on very bright scenes like snow or paper/map scene in LOTR, you can just about detect the hotspot.

Ya lo... luckily when watching movie, its hardly noticeable. The green andred line is worse than my previous one. Yup... they changed th lens and bulb for me when I sent in last time.

The Tech staff is kinda nice. I have been emailing him and he has been trying to call me on and off. Right now, the machine still with me.

The hot spotting, it is not as bad but heck... sure got le. I am using Black Out Cloth. But when watching movie, you won't notice it a all.


Added on April 28, 2007, 8:55 pmMy machine was sent in last Tuesday. So, I've been without so called TV for the past... 4 days now. Haiz...
Hope they will speed up...

No... I am definitely not rich. The projector I am having has got some problem. So, I am getting my dealer to get me another one. I actually don't need to pay extra.
About the life span, well, you can't use it like a normal TV... that s for sure. But the experience and result is worth all the 2000 hrs.

Whao, nice setup.

I used to have my Sanyo Z1 set up and have been enjoying HT movie for quite a while. Recently I did some renovation and re-arranged all my furnitures so I am in the mid of resetting up everything. I have completed all the mounting etc and I missing just 13 meters of component cables. Does anyone know where I can I find reasonably priced component cables? I am looking for thinner component cables so that I can route it through the ceiling and not worrying about thick trunking.

My 6 meters component cables probably need a new owner.

Thanks man.
Normal air show as in? Well, my uncle is using it to watch History channel and WATV on Astro. Ha! Ha! laugh.gif laugh.gif I heart pain seeing my lamp hours shot up to almost 400hrs now.
But yeah... the problem with my Astro is my S video cable is not good. So,a lot of interference.
What you guys can do is get an amp, feed all the source into the amp and 1 HDMI to your projector. This way, you can minimise the noise.

Pic quality? Well, you can see all the photos taken on page 1. HEck... they are not cutand paste from internet... its all taken from my house. Tiny square? All LCD projectors will give you squares. But if you calculate the distance and throw distance properly, you see 1 smooth screen.
In fact, I prefer this than go cinema. We were complaining Shrek 3 when we went to Cineleisure. Since that movie, we never touch cinema anymore.

This is 720p projector. And if you ask me, this is all you need. 1080p is too expensive and you don't have the source to play. Astro is 480p. Our DVD is 480p-576p. And thanks to normal players like Sony 76H, it helps to upscale to 720p. Good enough.

Too clear... you won't feel movie like. Too fake.
But if you are having 42" LCD or plasma, don't think the 1080p or 720p play much diff.

kekeke... I also donno... I think it is 480i.

Anyway, in projector, sometimes, spending a little bit more will give you the extra umph.

So, for now, I am still recommending Epson TW700. Although personally I prefer Panny AX100 but due to its problem, its better to stick with Epson.

Bro, AE900 is obsolete; replaced by AX-100. Now, AX-200. Another RM2K drop in price, he will definitely buys it. Then, go for mid-range AV receiver with Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD decoding to further utilise his BD collections. brows.gif

This is not consider as his 3rd display. His primary display will soon be replaced by Panny Ae-2000. Secondary display (plasma) is meant for Astro and stock market info nia.

Bro RX330, it's LG 42LC7R.

xterminator, depending on individual. If watch tv (Astro) a lot, then LCD TV wld be a better choice as projector's bulb lifespan is short (average abt 2,000hrs). If it is purely for DVD, HD-DVD, BD or certain interesting programs (e.g. sports), then I would opt for projector.

For Astro, you need CRT. Its the best. It knows how to camouflage the noise and distortion.

Anyway... you need a so called dedicated area to have a projector but any corner also can have LCD.
There are more works to do to set up projector where as LCD just plug n play.
You get 4 times the size or more for projector with the same money you spent on your LCD.

Hi,

A front pj is not a tv and even thou it can be used as one, it will not perform as well as a flat panel or crts... there are so many hassles involved ... totally dark environment ; longer start up and shut down time ; short bulb life span and not to mention de hassle of initial setup... de other displays mentioned are just plug and play...

BUT for de big screen experience ... well there is no substitute ... unless u can afford de 110inch plasma/lcd model la...

RM3000 will only get you a multimedia projector. So... projector is out. If you wanna spend RM3k only on the display... go ahead and buy LCD as CRT will only cost you around RM1k.

so you gave up on the ax100? why not just get a replacement?
im thinking of the ax200 now....

im using ae200 at the moment. i have 1 dead pixel and after about 500 hours, the bulb went dim. had to change the bulb and now another problem like yours, top and bottom of screen can see different color bands...........sigh.

panasonic has nice projectors if THEY WORK.....

I have not read your entire thread yet, i wonder if you are happy with your TW700 now?

Bro digitalkl, what are you waiting for? Upgrade lah!

I have to agree with you on Pana. But, I guess it was an isolated quality issue as AX-100 has this problem.

ar188 has no problem with AE-900

I had an AX100 b4 this and used it for 4 months before it was stolen. I had the red hue issue but send it back to the shop and manage to swap it 1 for 1 no questions asked. I recently just bought an AX200 to replace my stolen AX100. The first unit that came had a small issue where there was one part that had a strong blue light on it. Like a blue torch shining through. Send it back to swap. Now using it no problem at all. About 100+ hours already. Excellent projector in my opinion

Hi hi hi.
Sorry, thought my this thread dead. Ha! Ha!
Anyway, I exchanged with a new AX100 before. The result was the same. That is why they allow me to money back then. And I am still using the Epson TW700 withbulb life of 980 hrs. Yup... a bit dim.

Overall, in terms of performance, I'd prefer AX100 if no color banding. Its more movie like.

But I am happy with TW700. Hardly watch but my uncle use it to watch Astro. That's why the hour so much.

I will be moving house again very soon. So, I will post again the whole new set up. Might be thinking of new sound system as well to come with it. Old JBL might just dump to my room.

Will surely keep you guys updated.

thank you ... this setup already more than 2 years ... is about time to change(saving money now) ... speakers difficult to remove unless remove all the partition ... so the only thing can upgrade is TV, AV Receiver and DVD/Blu-Ray Player smile.gif

Guys, I just came back from undi ... damn crowded outside smile.gif

Bro timothyy, I renovated my whole house 2 years ago ... am choosing mostly high-end stuffs (bad move) ... even wall switches I was using Germany product ... cost me RM8k ...

my AV setup still can worth that much of money ... ok lah ... who want to buy my AV stuffs ... I follow bro timothyy proposal laugh.gif

Pioneer Plasma I bought that time was RM18k ... my whole house was using wallpaper ... the one behind Plasma TV was Goodrich Scala series ... small wall already cost RM2.5k

I agreed build-in speaker was dangerous ... but I no intention to stay in this house for long ... will give it to my family members ... the Pioneer build-in speaker S-LF3 series was imported from Singapore ... the AV cables were using Supra series from Sweden ... 1 meter cost about RM750

so if you want to know anything about renovation ... you can ask me laugh.gif

I wonder my new house going to spend how much to renovate ... now working very very hard and saving money smile.gif

He bought the LX70 as soon as it hits our shore. I guess upgrading to LX70A would be difficult for him unless there's a buyer for his LX70

If he bought from Pioneer Sole Distributor, then he can trade-in LX70 to LX70A. I am going to trade-in my Pioneer 989Avi to LX70A.

Do you mean DLP pj? Which brand that you are seeking?

So far, Optoma HD65 is the cheapest in the market. btw, for the record, not trying to solicit sales here as it is just a matter of fact. tongue.gif

Even reputable contractor (in bad times such as current) might have financial problems or difficulties as their operating expenses are high. Even though chances are slim, possibility is there. sweat.gif

Kakaka... I feel the needle from clngu...

What to do... we poor people... not rich people. Who doesn't want the bathroom all made of gold? Who doesn't want to use expensive things for everything? If only we have golden goose to lay eggs.

Anyway, the contractor I chose did my colleague's house reno... costed him RM150k and since my colleague is a very conservative fella and very particular to the last details, I thought I have found a good contractor. The guy is OK but he is definitely not those well off contractors who wear Diamond studded Gold Rado watch and only instruct his workers to do things.

This contractor... although he gave me a lot of problem now but I believe he has his own matter that we donno.

But at last, I managed to contact him and he agrees to finish what he has left.

my advice, go to Home Deco, etc ... you can find a reputable contractor there for your next project smile.gif

hehe...anything good and cheap...i'm up for it if i have the $$$...

now i'm watching lotsa captain hook's blu-ray/hd dvd's titles but converted to normal dvd version upscaled to 720p via component to my 4805....looks damn good already...dunno if i use real native 720p it'd make any big difference

coz i think 4805's color and video projection makes dvd a lot more film-like than some 1080p projectors too....sometimes too sharp ppl look too digitzed...esp on fair skintones...

Oh man... I totally forgotten about this ... arrrggghhhhh...
OK... I must go... I must go but how to go? Even on 26 I have management meeting... deng!!!

So, left with 27... OK. Must go.

About my toys, well, coz I've been not around town most of the time, my reno work also slowed down due to no coordination.

Anyway, should be able to move in by early next month... but Chinese month of July la... cannot simply move here and there... so, probably a bit late. Anyway, my sofa only coming in in September...

I bought the TV cabinet. Earlier i purchased a Philips LCD TV as well, prior to the projector. Bought it from the Court Mammoth but returned coz i wasnt satisfied with the pic quality. Rugi the first payment only. Then i bought an Optoma EP716, which is a data projector but faulty. Finally, i got this H27 for less than 4K, and im satisfied with it for the such pic quality as compared to the price i have paid. Its definitely better than the LCD TV. The screen is a diy screen, made of some woods and a few feet of "Khaki" cloth...painted with greyish Jotun paint. Maybe id like to try that ICI Pentalite "Misty Evening" mentioned by Karyeowl.  rolleyes.gif

Hi, would like to know how much did you pay for the Optoma EP716 projector? Tq.
