The Plasma TV is Dead? Long Live the Projector! California Bureaucrats have decided!


November 20th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings, breaking news (yesterday), here from California.

Hmm, up for a rant?  I find this news about setting energy requirements for TVs to be most annoying so, here goes:  BTW, the CEDIA organization (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Assoc.) which pretty much covers the home theater industry, has been fighting this all along.

Until Black Friday Only – A deal from BenQ – GP1 projector


November 19th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings all,

OK, this is a stocking stuffer, for those of you with portable tastes, you can save $100 for the next week, if the BenQ GP1 “lights your fire”.

BenQs GP1 Projector: 100+ lumens in a tiny package

BenQ's GP1 Projector: 100+ lumens in a tiny package

Back in July, I reviewed BenQ’s little GP1, a mini or “pocket” projector class device.  That is, much larger and heavier than the pico projectors, and a lot smaller and lighter than any of the traditional portable business projectors.  The GP1, for those of you who don’t remember, is a fun product that can double as a fairly low brightness business projector, suitable for some small meetings.  Check out the review!

It is the brightest of this class of small projectors that I’ve seen to date.  It is a low cost compromise product for business, but it can be a blast for more informal use, such as watching my first official YouTube video.  While projectors in this class are all about a lot of compromises, we found the GP1 to be pretty impressive, all considered.  As a result, I even gave it a Hot Product award.

What’s new – what’s in the works, Mitsubishi HC3800 video clip, Epson etc.


November 18th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings all.

Just a heads up.  For the next roughly 3 days, I won’t be checking the blogs, and responding, sorry, but will try to catch up on the weekend.

In the meantime, I have just finished working on one of two videos.  The first one is now live on YouTube.

Basically it’s a 2+ minute teaser.  It’s a very short summary (humorous I hope) of our not long ago, Mitsubishi HC3800 review, a projector I really like a lot.  Click here:  The YouTube Mitsubishi HC3800 video summary of the full HC3800 projector review, is live. Read the rest of this entry »

Home Theater Projector Pricing Update – Epson Home Cinema 8500UB, BenQ W6000


November 11th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings all,

I’m taking a break from playing with the PT-AE4000 for some pricing updates.

As some of you know, there were two real surprises this fall.  First, Optoma introduced the HD20 at $999 (and Vivitek and BenQ also announced their 1080p $999 projectors).   This apparently caused great consternation Read the rest of this entry »

Panasonic PT-AE4000 Home Theater Projector – A First Look review


November 9th, 2009 Art Feierman

Greetings everyone!

OK, I know a lot of folks have been waiting quite a while for this especially with the first online review of the PT-AE4000 published what is now several weeks ago.  And since I’m getting a whole ton of Panasonic PT-AE4000 vs. Epson UB questions by email, I’ll give you all my latest thoughts on that contest, throughout this blog.

As is usual, this is a “First Look” and not the full projector review.  I’ve been working with the PT-AE4000 projector since Read the rest of this entry »

JVC review – not ready yet


November 6th, 2009 Art Feierman

UPDATE: The JVC DLA-RS25 projector review has been posted.

Just a quick note, we’re still behind.  Not all the images done, and I haven’t even started the all critical Image Quality page, and the summary.  It will publish tomorrow late afternoon.  For sure.  I promise, I think.

Sorry.

On the bright side, I lost the afternoon and early evening today, thanks to the expected visit of folks from Panasonic.   Read the rest of this entry »
