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.

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”.
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.

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

UPDATE: The JVC DLA-RS25 review has been posted!
Greetings all,
Well, it seems, as usual, despite the best laid plans, the JVC RS25 review is not going to go live tonight. Look for it tomorrow, probably late afternoon. I’ve hit two snags, which is delaying the review one more day: Read the rest of this entry »

Intro, and conclusions by Art
Greetings all, this is one of those times I get caught between a rock, and a hard place, situations. Several months ago, one of our larger dealer advertisers mentioned to me that they were introducing their own line of lower cost fixed projector screens. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings,
I’m a couple of days late, but hopefully this “first look” was worth the wait. The JVC RS25 arrived, and headed over to Mike’s for calibration before I ever got it out of the box. Mike took an extra day, playing with it, and got it back to me mid-week. I’ve been watching extensively, but only in my main theater. Still haven’t lugged the JVC DLA-RS25 home theater projector into the “testing room”/second theater.
Let’s start with the obvious. The JVC DLA-RS25, and it’s “consumer division” twin, the HD950, pretty much Read the rest of this entry »
