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..

Added on January 11, 2008, 9:10 pmhttp://www.hivizone.com/local-shop/projector.htmmaybe you should check out HK outlets also instead of pricejapan.com with currency now at HKD1 = RM0.41 it's dem cheap.... source is dvd played thru sony 78h nia..... but since the price gap of 720 n 1080p not that much of a diff so i go for 1080p lo...

QUOTE(mpyw @ Jan 14 2008, 12:18 PM) yes! it's HT projector, not Multimedia projector...only downside is the ANSI a bit low, I think 1100ANSI lumen nia... if can get the VW50 at this price then shiok!!! Like the ppl in USA lor.. to them spending usd3k can buy so many gadgets.. by the way i check with epson.. epson malaysia does cover international warranty for epson tw700 n tw1000

woohoo! finally bought my pj.. optoma super value meal.. optoma hd65.. for the price i really have nothing to complain.. i do see rainbow effect few times per show.. but again the price for this pj has really tamed the rainbow effects on me:)... this pj ROCKS!...i need to tune down the brightness abit coz its too bright on my white wall even on a low lamp mode... not going to buy a screen yet until i have a proper gua kelawar.. if any poor new comers who wants a 1080p yet couldnt wait for the price drop should buy this 1st... the size of the pj is tiny so i am not sure if heat is going to be an issue.. i watched 2 movies last nite no problem but my aircon happens to be blowing at my pj ..seating just 2 feet i can hear the fan.. but the price of the pj managed to tune down the fan noise easily:) ... Half the price of my lcd TV with double the enjoyment but the result is the same = dont know when baru can settle the credit card bill

QUOTE(ar188 @ Jan 22 2008, 08:12 PM) if you want cheap, go macys and get blackout cloth lor.. (it's white (the other side grey) plastic cloth material like the stuff mamak or low end restaurants wrap on the plastic tables)... I think 30-40bucks only (can make 80-100inch screen), then use transparent or black packing tape to tape the perimeter to your wall.. there's your screen... kamsiah for your advice bro... but i am moving house in 2 months time.. i think just wait till new house baru buy diy screen...

QUOTE(ar188 @ Feb 22 2009, 12:29 AM) can afford liao.. now 1080p should be around 6-8k range (but maybe have to bring in from overseas).. summore better performance than the ones you listed 1 year ago.. actually ae1000 rm7k plus and ae2000 rm9977 locally in miyamondo website.. but like htkaki pointed out to me no free extra bulb... dont know y panasonic only give 2 weeks warranty for bulb.. sipek kiam siap |

QUOTE(htkaki @ Feb 23 2009, 10:56 AM) surely will since there would be new models by then. Planning to get one? Btw, Mitsu 5500 aint that convincing for the price that it demands here. Probably it may be due to the setting w/o using DVE. I find that the black suffers from slight smudging (smearing) in dark scenes. The transition from bright to dark scene aint as smooth as I thought. This pj is very quiet compares to Infocus X10, which I auditioned earlier. Color is a tad too vibrant. No issue here as it can be tone down. I have yet to test out the Panny AE3000, which is almost at the same price range. boss, all the reviews said mitsubishi is has super sharp pics.. izt really that obvious.. and just to confirm with u pana warranty for bulb is 2weeks right? |

QUOTE(rthj @ Feb 23 2009, 03:39 PM) quite crappy bulb warranty for panasonic. here they're giving 1 year or 1000hours (whichever comes first) bulb warranty for panasonic. r u sure bro? if 1 year then its not crappy at all.. 1000hours to me is excelent warranty liao.. i assumed 2weeks coz htkaki stated 2weeks for bulb.. i dont even know how long is the warranty for other brands of pj bulb... but i read epson tw2000 has excellent warranty overseas but malaysia maybe crap warranty with ultra high price too |

QUOTE(rthj @ Feb 23 2009, 07:16 PM) think the new epsons are TW-3800 and TW-5000, the 5000 being the superior one. they still gives the 3yrs or 1700hrs warranty on the bulb. and how muchy r we looking at for tw3800 n tw5000... have u confirmed with epson malaysia for the warranty? |
