Greetings!
OK the Vivitek H1080FD home theater projector finally arrived. Mike’s got it and will bring it back tomorrow all nicely measured and calibrated. Look for a blog on Thursday, with first impressions. I’m going to try to have the entire review done by early next week.
The H1080FD is the second of the three new $999 projectors we’re reviewing, and we expect the BenQ W1000 to arrive early next week (fingers (crossed).
Other news – the Optoma HD8600 review will go live later today. Check out the review. Pretty nice. -art

Greetings one and all,
OK, it’s been really busy. But, I’ve got a most impressive projector to tell you about, and that’s the Optoma HD8600. First I want to say that at this point, I’m completely overwhelmed between responding to emails and blog comments. I’m falling further behind, with no end in sight. You guys are burying me in well over 100 combined, every week these days. At least through Christmas, I doubt I’ll be able to respond to more than half, if that. Ok, back to the Optoma HD8600 projector. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
As per my comment in a previous blog about the HC3800, I’m getting the word from Mitsubishi that dealers will be starting to get the “new improved” units as soon as early next week. I don’t know for Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
This is a quick blog, with only two things to discuss.
I received a full production HC3800 last week, and have been enjoying it. Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings all,
Another promised update for you!
I received another BenQ W6000 which I picked up at BenQ a few days ago. Similar comments about the BenQ W6000 projector have already been placed in the full review, noted in italics or italics/bold. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi everyone,
No point in yakking about the article here, so I’ll just point you to the comparison. Sorry it took so long, a labor of love, I guess. Check it out! PT-AE4000 vs. 8500UB. Enjoy! Life frantic here, family in, lots of pages in mid-completion.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

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 »
