Yeah I know. :(
Wish I could get that one, but it wouldn't fit through my door. :D

Watched Cars last night...
I didn't know projectors could display such vivid colours. :o

I did a search for your projector and the cheapest I found in the UK was £950. How did you get it so cheap?

Bought it in Germany for £680.

950... that's 1400€...
Even in France, I can buy it for 300€ less.

How come it's so expensive in Rosbeef-land ?

Well I did a search on Kelkoo for Sanyo Z4 and the bugger tries to rip me off with this 950 pish. Wish I was French so that I could piss other people off with my superiority. :x

Wish I had a camera. I have a Sony Pearl 1080p PJ at the moment and it's just a bit nice. ffdshowed DVD's and HD material look so, so good.

It's technically not mine, it's loaned from a friend that does AV installations. But if he ever needs it back I'll just get something else from him. I really want to see the forthcoming JVC RS1 in action. These 1080p projectors are such a bargain.

It's 4 times more expensive, so it's gotta be. :D

The Pearl is a 1080p super-projector.

If it projects on the same size of screen - is there any difference in quality to the naked eye? (and naked man?)

Does a 32" Tesco CRT look the same as a 32" Plasma? Does a 32" Bargain Bobs Plasma look the same as a 32" Pioneer?

;)

Yeah there's quite a difference.
