Which Projector should I get ?

Question

I am down to a few
Hitachi HDPJ52
Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 800
Sanyo PLV-Z5
I was looking at a few others, However I want the lens shift.

Any advice ????

It is a very hard choice

Answer 1

Hi,david it is a hard choice i agree and that is why it is hard to recommend a particular projector to someone.There are so many things to consider you need a good memory when looking for one .Ok so you have moved on from the last time i communicated with you.The three you have in mind look to be very good and have about the same features.
Looking at discount prices (this is only an example, you may get one a lot cheaper) Hitachi HDP J52 about $850 Epson Powerlite Pro-Cinema about $1,600. Sanyo PLV-Z5 about $1,067

BRIGHTNESS
Hitachi HDP J52 1200 ANSI Lumens
EpsonPowerLite Pro. Cinema1600 ANSI Lumens
Sanyo PLV Z5 2200 ANSI Lumens

CONTRAST
Hitachi HDP J52 7,000:1
Epson PowerLite Pro.Cinema 5,000:1
Sanyo PLV Z5 10,000:1


The Sanyo is the clear winner with the highest brightness and contrast ratio for the money.Next the Hitachi is the cheapest with the second highest contrast ratio .
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You should spent just few more bucks and get 1080p (1920x1080) projector. There are few available for under $3k now, including one for Epson.
