I don't want to pee in JayIs5's cereal or anything, and if he's happy with his projector that's wonderful (if this is indeed the case, I would suggest he stop reading now).


Fair warning.


I strongly recommend against buying the new Casio LED/laser projectors for any reason, especially home theater.


In my view, you're right, but for a different reason. The casio projectors have a 2-color wheel (green-blue), and the lamp warranty is only 3000 hours.

All LED devices aren't like that.

I've personally run the LG HS101 LED projector for something like 5000 hours, and I'm extremely satisfied.

I'm buying the HX-300G soon.

I know all LED projectors aren't like that. I've seen the HX300G too; it's a nice little presentation projector, but it's also XGA and only 300 lumens. The video processing isn't very good, nor is the contrast.

This might sound stupid, but what sort of video processing takes place inside the HX300G when running HDMI at the projector resolution?

Has anyone tried gaming on a wobulated DLP? What's it like? Is it very noticeable?

I picked up a Vivitek Qumi at launch and I have to say, if anyone is looking for a cheap secondary projector it is awesome. It has its shortcomings, but having a 720p projector that is the size of a paperback novel and outputs over 200 lumens is pretty awesome.

I did too, but I'm not satisfied at all. I really dislike the diamond-shaped pixels, and the fact that it changes focus when it warms up.

Does anyone have any experience or opinions on 300-500 lumen LED projectors?

Yes- don't buy one right now, because the 1080p LED projectors are coming out this autumn.
(I own a qumi and an hx300g)
