About 2k for 108cm screen. But are there any probs with these designs that would make an alternate TV a better buy for around the same price?

thanks

The biggest problem seem to be the lightbulb having a limited lifespan of around 300 hours or so. Replacement bulbs cost $200-$300.

Ouch.

300 hours is bullshit
@ 4 hours/day thats only 75 days
had mine for almost 2 years w/ no noticeable loss of brightness

its more like 3-80'000 lhours of AVG life.. ( depending on a hole wack of shit )

i've been loookin into them recently.

thanks dudes, will check out if the globe is under the 5 year warranty or not.

I might be wrong

At work we have a 3 year old Toshiba super-bright projector that uses bulbs lasting 300 hours. There's even a counter in the projector's settings that lets you know how close you are to reaching 300 (we're around 50% now).

It'd be nice to know that you can buy projectors now with bulbs that last a lot longer.

There's a difference between rear projection TVs and LCD/DLP projectors, you know.

holy fuck. my god holy fuck.

time to get some much needed sleep.

RPTV's are right now the best bang for the buck.

nice pick, Tosh's are nice sets. i have a 65" Mitsu HDTV and have absolutely no complaints.

if you get the chance/cash, you might want to have a certified ISF technician do a service on your set (if you've racked up around 100 hours). here's a bit of info.

out of curiosity, next time you're up off of your butt take a look at your model number so i can check out its specs. i'm wondering how many of these calibrations it can do:

Greyscale tracking *
White & Black Level *
Color temperature *
Chroma Level and Phase *
Geometry
Focus (Electrical & Mechanical)
Horizontal & Vertical Center
Overscan
Convergence (static & dynamic)
Aperture
Chroma detail enhancement, and
Scan Velocity Modulation Disconnection

be pretty cool if you could do most of them.

Link didn't work for me.

I have a 65" Mitsu as well. What's a calibration run $$$ wise?

This is uncanny, right this second I'm about to go and buy a Sagem Axium. has anyone got one, or used one? I've only seen it in the shops, and I haven't seen it using a normal TV feed, just HDTV.. Is the quality still decent for normal tv reception?


Edit: nevermind, they discontinued it. Serves me right for not getting it straight away

they tend to run $250 on up. i've never seen a price quote above $400. i paid just over $200 on a group deal through the AVS forum. the guy flew out from Denver and performed calibrations on 13 other clients in this area.

try this link for some information on ISF calibration.

it looks like mostly convergence adjustments which most newer sets have (64pt, etc). nice set though.
