legend!, reviews naman sa bago mong pjs
EP-716 Optoma is just right for me, since I changed to VGA-Component, (i use to have S-VIDEO) the difference is very obvious, more brighter in the dark and the tru-color appeared. 2of my friend already got this model, for a 51k to shell out, not bad. I also considered the after sales, Optoma have a cheaper bulb and great reviews for this model. The difference between X2 and Epson's EMP (not sure about the model) when they had a demo at home, this one is much much better. I dont see any rainbow effect for now, hope it lasts this way. my screen is 84x84 and can project up to 100x100 given its long throw and high ansi-lumens (1800), hope to post my pics here. Just getting to know how.
I was originally to get ae-900 for 91k, but when I knew that Panasonic just got into PJ's 2001, i had to go to the pioneers. Just did a little mathematics, now I have a pj, and was able to get a 2 seater Ht seat (similar to LazyBoy w/ reclines & italian leather) for 100K.
Try to audition, hope you will like it w/ not much to spend.
