hi every1 .. i am a having a hardtime deciding which projector to get... 1st of all i am from kedah... up to now i only read reviews to short list my choices... i also have a tight budget.. n being greedy i want a full hd projector:).. my max budget is rm9k... there r no av shops in kedah.. n very few av shops carry ready stock projector in pg... so far i have shortlisted 3 projectors n hope the sifus here to gift me some pointers..

1) epson tw1000 .. rm7500 (including shipping) with 2 years international warranty.. from overseas
2) sanyo z2000.. rm8XXX local shop with 1 year warranty
3) epson tw2000.. rm9100... NO warranty.. from overseas

i know normally the advice is to view the projector myself.. but the problem i have no time to go kl to view the projectors... i am leaning towards epson tw1000 mainly because of the price... I dont hear many talking about how good epson tw1000 is .. just wondering if any have u have tested it or owns 1...

i have tested the z2000 in sg n although in most reviews they say z2000 is not very bright but i feel its bright enuf for me for a noob like me..


Some sifus have suggested the panny ae2000 but its out of my budget.. can any1 get panny below rm9k pls let me know pls...

Thanx alot in advance to u guys for the help.. if u know any full hd projector that falls into my budget pls feel free to suggest to me ok..

wait a while lor... the panny will drop one

i have waited for a long long time already hehe.. keep hearing u guys enjoying movies on pj... kenot tahan already hehe waited since last year

aredi waited one year liao, why not wait a bit more?

Looking at US pricing, I believe year 2008 would be a good time to get Full HD projector. Currently still using my 2 years old 720p DLP projector. It all depends on your sitting distance. If you sit around 1.5x of your screen width and above, you wouldn't see a difference between 720p and 1080p projector. You need to sit aroudn 1.2x to really see the difference. Also, source is another issue. If you primary watch DVD, then I don't see an advantage to upgrade now.

Hi,

I ll choose d epson over de panny any day...

Epson 1000 pricing is good but if u buy from abroad, u'd better confirm wif epson mal tat theyd svc ur unit...

Cheers

Yes, it is better to check with Epson MY before parting wt your money

yeah i would check with epson malaysia 1st if i choose to buy that projector.. i did read some1 bought frompricejapan n did a repair in aust n they did cover aust.. but better double check like u said. thanx

more than double the price ler.....

wah 720 so cheap now izt.. if u dont mind can u give me the ROUGH prices for a few lcd 720 models pls.. coz i thought all around 6k.. very hard for me to check the prices by just calling the av shops in kl coz they always give slaughter price .. pg av shops are worse!.. dats y i had to check overseas sites n found epson tw1000 rm7500 with 2 years warranty.. thanx in advance

Bro, check my siggie below

thanks ht kaki... i saw it b4 but i am looking for lcd.. kamsiah anyway... it's all those slaughter house av shops that really spoil my mood shopping.. called pg last week the shop is only selling sanyo n he pushed z5 to me at rm6500 and z2000 at rm11000 and they r not the only shop that gives me ridiculous prices.. ... thats y i thought the newer generation 720p is around rm6k mark...

i guess now that i know the latest generation of 720p is around 5k i should stick to 720p since i am not watching blu film... i mean blu disc:) Thanx again to all the pj sifus for the advice

Panny AX-200 for less than RM5.8K

so hard to make such a simple decision.. i am going crazyyyyyyyYyyyyy

the simple the question the harder the solution

the Sony VW10 - RM3,999
Sony VW15 - RM4,999

both 1280 x 720 pixel
