Well as of late I have really been thinking about stepping up from my Sharp 70 LC-70SQ15U.
I have read a lot on forums and quite a bit on the projector review sites. Any pointers or recommendations are appreciated.
Below are a list of things that I would like to projector to do well and overcome:
Low input lag
Overcome some ambient lighting, 2 large windows and a set of french doors allow some light even with blinds.
Good for viewing Blu Rays and other HD material, decent black levels.
Seating distance will range from 12-17 feet. This is a large living room
The projector will be ceiling mounted 14-16 feet away from the wall it will project on.
Aiming for 120" picture
Options I have been considerig:
1. Panasonic PT-ae8000u, older model, picture quality?
2. Sony VPL-HW40ES, is it really brighter than the first Sony?
3. Sony VPL-HW55ES, is it bright enough? This one is a maybe due to the higher price. Would really like to compare to decide if it's "worth it"
Thanks for any input ahead of time. I will likely be looking for a screen to go with after I get the initial projector picked out.
