Miles above you.

I could post a picture of my screen, but it's not hard to visualize.
It's a 4'x7' piece of sheetrock. The picture looks allot like
yours, only an order of magnitude larger. Now that's massive. :-)

I'm telling you, you should really check out the HD1000 by
Mitsubishi, it kicks major ass for the money. Just read some
customer reviews anywhere, they're all the same. It's jaw dropping,
I mean it. I couldn't hardly get the satellite guys to leave, I had
to just turn it off. ;-)

You're wrong about the mirrors not being fast enough for fast
action. The only problem is with rainbow effects for those who see
them (and I do, but I'm highly sensitive to monitor flicker too). I
only see them when the scene is dark with bright spots, and usually
when moving my head sideways. It's a color wheel issue, the newer
double speed wheels apparently help allot, but some still see the
effects. They're not that annoying to me (and believe me I annoy
easily) so I can live with them. Brightly lit scenes (like NASCAR
:-) are incredible, the Daytona 500 finish was worth the price of
the projector alone. Colors are very brilliant, some people say
plasma like, but I don't know if I'd go quite that far. I do know
that in a dark room even on low lamp mode, it's friggin bright,
almost too bright. Way better black levels than LCD, good flesh
tones too. No affiliation, yada yada, just majorly impressed.


DLP? Consumer Reports recently gave it the thumbs up.

Yep it's DLP 1280*720p. Just like the little girl says, it's the mirrors.
;-) If I'd have seen it before I bought the LCD, I'd have a projector in my
shack instead of the 42" LCD that used to be in the living room. I bought
the LCD for the wife (well and me too ;-), but I got the projector later on
for the game-room/ham-shack as sort of a toy. My wife wasn't the least bit
interested in it, until she saw it. Like I said, it's now hanging from the
living room ceiling and I have to suffer thru this "tiny" LCD while she
piles on the hours on the bulb. ;-)

And this brings up the one truly crappy thing about "the bulb". Even if
you're lucky enough to make it to 3000 hours without failure, your reward is
that the projector will refuse to lite it again anyway. How sucky is
that??? :-(


I did some chip consulting for SpatiaLight quite a few years ago. I
think they got bought up by TI, but I'm not sure... companies just
seem to vanish into the woodwork :-(



Don't you mean "Plastic bezel work"?
