Not really interested since I just bought a new TV, but I am wondering why you're selling it after 3 months?

Just a question - Is it a dedicated home theatre projector or a data projector being used for movies?

I know the two are made for very different things ~ data is for use in lit rooms and mainly just to be easily viewable, home is for dark rooms watching flicks and better picture quality. the specs seem to suggest its more for data?



Still, data ones arent too bad either (a few mates have em) and $700 is well cheap
Projectors FTW! nothing like seeing Tony Soprano's face 4 foot high as he's staring down Richie Aprille and saying "Im the motherfucking boss and I call the shots so you better show me some respect"  teef

Reason for Sale: Novelty has worn off, my house isnt really set up for it. I'm going to invest in a Plasma or LCD instead.

Its a data projector being used for a home theatre. It isnt the greatest but its adequate for divx movies etc

tempting?
for $400 its cheap as fuck. you cant even get an ok tv for that price!!

the only thing i suggest you do is a quick bit of reading on:
A) the colourwheel RPM of this model, &
B) "The rainbow effect" - just google it or look it up on an AV forum somewhere.

The vast majority of people dont get the rainbow effect with DLP projectors, but a few poor unfortunate souls who do can sometimes get headaches - in a nutshell its when there's ultra-rapid movement across the screen and you can see a sort of green/red/blue haze behind the movement.

i can see it (much to my horror when testing out my trusty new DLP projector) but i dont really notice it at all anymore and it doesnt affect me in any negative way whatsoever.
