Title: Re: Good and Bad about Video projectors Post by: Ida_Mann on December 07, 2006, 11:56:57 AM I'm sure AsphaltDragon will chime in here,,,,I love mine especially hooked to my PS2,,,,,,I know the contrast ratio is what makes a good picture,,,,good partis that it's a cheap way to get a big screen(I have a 100" diagonal screen with mine.
bad is that if you ever need to replace the bulb beware the cost.

Title: Re: Good and Bad about Video projectors Post by: xr100racer on December 07, 2006, 02:27:15 PM replacment bulbs are about $250. my buddy has one and we play xbox on it and its great. downfalls are that it has to be dark, we have to put blankets up over the windows because the blinds dont block enough light. and of course people walk in front of it and you get shot (call of duty 3 on multiplayer(greatest game ever(2 is also awsome)))
Title: Re: Good and Bad about Video projectors Post by: LeBlanc Outdoors on December 07, 2006, 02:44:30 PM Better quality projectors work with more ambient light in the room as well as having longer bulb life. Bulbs can go from $200 to $800 depending on the unit and installation involved.
