HDTV/ Projecctor?
I want an HDTV perferably or Home-theater projector that has the same quaility as HD(1080pi) but I want to stay under or at $2,000. Anybody got some good isea with links where I could find one!!
I think i might go the projector route!!!!
I wanted to save a little bit so I bought a 720p projector (SONY VPL-AW10). You can get one for less than $800 now on-line (e.g. Amazon).
Under low lighting conditions, it just like going to the theater. The HD quality from souces like Blu-ray is fantastic.
Good ideas:
1.) Get one as bright as possible. Mine is 1000 lumens and it can’t be calibrated for contrast / brightness at 6500K under room light or during the day. With the room lights off and/or with the windows curtained off during the day, the projector is good.
2.) Get one that can accept 1080p and 1080p at 24 frames per second signals and can display them at their native frame rate (24 frames per second, 30 frames per second for de-interlaced 1080i, or 720p at 60 frames per second). Movies are filmed at 24 frames per second. TV is broadcast at 60 fields per second for 1080i or 60 frames per second for 720p. Usually, unless your set/projector states it can accept and show 24 frames per second, the 24 is converted up to 30 by taking 4 movies frames and making up a fictional 5th one and showing those (because 24*5/4=30). Motion artifacts introduced by this common process are called “judder”.
3.) Check out the bulb life. A regular plasma/CRT set is usually rated for 60,000 hours until the phosphor is half as bright as when you bout it. Some projector bulbs have a lifetime rating of only a few thousand hours and cost hundreds of dollars (the bulb for my lower end HDTV projector costs $350).
4.) Make sure it supports keystone adjustment. If you have high ceilings, you have to aim the projector down and the resulting image is shaped like a trapezoid until you adjust it electronically (although it’s easy to image some projectors which are more expensive have an optical adjustment which could compensate). Electronic Keystone adjustments scale the image and you lose 1:1 pixel alignment with the source
5.) As someone else posted, you end up paying a few hundred more dollars for the screen. Better screens mean more brightness. I saw screens ranging in price from $60 to over $1000.
6.) Get a decent ceiling mount. It blew my mind that the preferred custom ceiling mount recommended by the vendor Sony in the user manual cost $600, but the projector was availble for under $1000. What’s that? I bought a universal mount for about $50. Since it was universal, it was very important for the mast to be almost exactly over the center of gravity of the unit and I had to fit it three times before I got it right.
It’d be nice to have 1080p projector, but if I’m 20′ from the screen there’s no difference according the on-line charts. 20′ is when 1080p starts to make a difference for a 100″ screen. Some shows are broadcast in 720p anyway.

In all, I’m very happy with the 720p projector.
