Best in the [price] range

If you check out the reviews for LCD projectors infocus products rarely surface. But you get a great bang for the buck here. The NEC LF140 has received rave reviews but if you look carefully it is heavier than the LP335 and the intensity of its lamp is also lesser. Granted than the difference between 800 and 1000 lumens isn't that great (with the logarithmic nature of light intensity) but there will be a minor improvement in performance with the brighter lamp particularly if you leave the lights on during the presentation. When push comes to shove and you compare the features you might still be tempted to pick the NEC product for its "brand." If you yield to that temptation you'll pay about $1500 more for a inferior feature set.

On the otherhand the NEC Multisync VT540 is a decent buy. It has all that the dragonfly offers at a comparable price (it is about 3 lbs heavier but you get the MultiSync plug and forget functionality which is comforting.)

If you want to save your biceps effort buy the dragonfly else go for the NEC (reasons being the software and brand.)More detail ...

X1 is a fantastic Home Entertainment system

I purchased the X1 just before Christmas (delivery in 36 hours!) to be the video source for my Home Entertainment system. I use a computer to supply DVD input and for computer games. The Xbox and game Cube are connected through the s-video input. I am projecting on a 84 inch diagonal white screen. Viewing distance is about 11 feet.

DVD movies look perfect. There is no visible pixilation and blacks are close to true black (in film mode). Part of this is no doubt do to using a computer for the DVD input. I believe a direct s-video input may not be as good (I have not tried this though).

The video game systems also look great. Four player Halo on a big screen has to be seen to be believed.

I also have a TV tuner (Hauppage)in the computer and astonishingly the TV image (at about 65 inch diagonal)is excellent.

The only reservation would be that the light output is not great (especially in film or video mode) so you need to use it in a room that can be fully blacked out.

The picture is much better than any rear projection HDTV's I have seen (of any size). For the money I doubt you could by a better picture for TV or DVD viewing.

The native resolution is SVGA so Text is slightly ragged especially when displayed in XGA mode. Again due to the SVGA native resolution computer games do not look as good as on high resolution monitor. I would therefore not recommend the projector as your only computer monitor or for large amounts of web surfing.

Definitely recommended.More detail ...

Fantasic Screen!!

Very easy to install and awesome video resolution. I have a smaller Infocus Screen and I knew it would be good. it is very easy to roll down and up making it easier on the screens mechanisms. Love the way it looks with my Blu ray DVD'sMore detail ...
