Let's start by getting the housekeeping out of the way. We are pleased to give the DLA-RS25 our Hot Product award. No surprise, of course in that, considering it's predecessor (the RS20) not only won a Hot Product Award, but later picked up our top ...

Bottom Line: OK, the CFI is good for sports, but probably take a pass on movies. I call upon JVC to do what all great projector manufacturers do in such cases - come up with a firmware fix over the next few months. At worst case, CFI is still (other ...

Assembly of the VApex screen is pretty straightforward. Opening the shipping box, you'll find each of the velour-covered frame pieces wrapped in tissue paper and the screen material is rolled up over a piece of PVC pipe and inserted into a larger PVC ...

OK, the Epson Pro Cinema 9500UB and Home Cinema 8500UB in summary

This year's Epson UB review is based on receiving an Epson Pro Cinema 9500UB. Whle I'll discuss the slight differences between the Home Cinema 8500UB and the Pro Cinema 9500UB at times, most of the time I will refer to the projector as a Home Cinema ...

Kick CFI over to High, and the live digital video look is obvious, compared to off. A fair amount of people will choose to watch movies with CFI on low, perhaps not all movies, but likely those more action oriented

I received a pre-production Epson Home Cinema 8100 late September for review. As a pre-production unit we expect to find minor issues that will be corrected by the time full production projectors ship at the end of the this month (October.) The Home ...

Here's why: One of the TheaterBlack1's is what I would call, my very "best" mode. But I have another, slightly tweaked to allow for just a little ambient light. A third one is more for HDTV use when I want the best color. That one has the dynamic iris ...

An excellent entry level home theater projector, the Mitsubishi HC3800 is a DLP projector, with 1080p native resolution. This review of the HC3800 projector is based on an early engineering sample, and has just been posted. It still awaits proofing, ...

Related to the zoom lens, is the HC3800's compatibility with using an anamorphic lens, which it does. The HC3800 projector however has two anamorphic modes, the usual, designed to work with the lens for Cinemascope movies, and the second mode, so you ...

A most impressive projector overall, the BenQ W6000 projector is extremely bright in its best movie mode, but as of this writing, one issue is yet to be resolved, relative to our final recommendation. In addition the W6000 review will have additional ...

This is worthy of mention simply because if the W6000 doesn't have the highest wattage lamp of any projector under $5000, it's close

Rush job! In time for CEDIA: This VPL-HW15 projector review has just been posted, look for more images, Sony HW15 commentary and proofing, following the show

Pixel visibility, and screen door effect are, effectively non-issues, with this Sony, thanks to the LCoS panels

Meantime, here's the first $999 projector for your consideration. There have been some deals floating around the last few months, mostly on Sanyo and Mitsubishi entry level 3LCD projectors. Those had started close to $2000 last year, but prices have ...

The Optoma HD20 does have one screen trigger. This allows you to trigger a properly equipped motorized screen, so that when you hit the power up button on the HD20 projector, your motorized screen will automatically lower. Power off the projector, and ...

The new projector I first got to see live at CEDIA 2007, was the JVC DLA-RS2. JVC had a showing over at the Denver Performing Arts Center, just like last year

Contrast has been increased from a claimed: 15,000:1 to 30,000:1

Before we get started with the review of the Vivitek H9080FD home theater projector, I need to comment about the photos posted in this review. I'll also go into the issue in further detail in the Image Quality page

NOTE: for grayscale balance, the Vivitek supports adjustment of brightness/contrast for primary AND secondary colors. It's been quite some time since I've encountered any projector that allows grayscale balancing using more than the primaries. Mike ...
