No bnew at 30K.

For 40K get the Benq W100 (like Sir Devo's) best for HT. DLP proj with 4x color wheel speed para iwas Rainbow effect. Get the models made post-July since these are already HDCP ready.

For 50K get the Epson EMP S4. Cheap bulb, outstanding under-rated lumen output, LCD proj (no rainbows) dunno about the SDE, outstanding serviceability, great color reproduction. Best used for multimedia presentations. You can even use the remote for mousing.

Depends on your intended use. MP620 is primarily a data/multimedia projector while W100 is primarily an HT projector.

If your intended use is just HT, go with the W100: it's 4x color wheel will minimize rainbow effects while watching movies, has DVI input and 2 sets of component video inputs, plus it's cheaper. But if it's an all-around projector you want, i.e., mostly presentations, spreadsheets plus movies once in a while, then the MP620 is a better option. If you will project mostly powerpoint presentations with large text and not for word and excel docs with small text/numbers (14pts below), you can opt for the SVGA (800x600) MP610.

MP620 is available at Electroworld outlets but its main distributor is Astech Pengson. W100 is available at AVLS (All Visual & Lghts Systems).

Go for HT PJ's. They were made for accurate color representation for movies. Multimedia PJ's are made for uses with ambient lighting , therefor brighter & not as accurate for movies. Also, they might be too bright & fatiguing to your eyes for a whole movie session. One thing I also notice with Multimedia PJ's are the screen door effect is more obvious.

I notice they drop by mid year for the 90+k HT PJ's. But for the 50+k PJ, the drop isnt significant, so its better if you get one soon & dont wait.

the Optoma HD70 sporting a native 720p res and priced lower than $1000 i think, deserves a look.

Bro, ilang watts yung lamp ng Benq W100? Do you have any idea how much is the price of 200watts lamp. Mine is Benq 2250 which uses 200 watts lamp. The life of the lamp is from 2000 to 3000 hrs. When its time to change I would have an idea how much I'm going to spend for the lamp. Any comment from our members will be greatly appreciated.

what pj is better than the w100 but cheaper than the ax100..? or maybe what are the projectors that can be placed between the benq w100 and the Ax100 in terms of pq and price.. ;)

i have noticed lately the choices of members that if not the AX100 they go to the W100.. :D

There are some other 720p PJ out there but ,you just can't beat the AX100 with its light output and flexibility of placement. Mura nga dito sa Pinas around 1500 dollars lang.
