Is the sharp XR-32X a good projector for gaming and movies?

mark

I have shopped around a bit and found that the XR-32X seems to be the best buy. Its a 1080p and puts out 2500 lumens. In my opinion it seems to be in the price range of 720p because of its specs. If anyone has any suggestions of which projector would be best please let me know. Thanks!

Answer
yes, that is a very good projector. Ii will work fine for games and movies. Another great projector is this one

http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-HD65-720p-Theater-Projector/dp/B000XOKZ8U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=office-products&qid=1252795229&sr=8-3

It isn't as good as the sharp XR-32X, but its still very good. This projector was made specifically for movies and gaming, so you know already that it will be very good. i almost bought it myself, but I dont need HD. I think regular image quality is good enough as it is. Thats why I bought the epson 77c projector.

Any Ideas on a Projector for a Cheap Home Theatre Setup?

PGraves

I am wanting to set-up a home theatre projector at my house. Its primary purpose will be for watching DVDs and playing video games (i.e. Nintendo, XBox, etc.). I am not concerned with HDTV. The projector will need to sit between 15-23 feet from the screen. Additionally, I need the projector to be bright enough so that a little ambient light won't make it unviewable.

I was hoping to get a brand name, or reputable projector of some form, however I was hoping to not spend over $800 on the projector itself. This projector WILL NOT be my primary TV, it will ONLY be used when I want to watch a DVD or play a video game.

I was looking at the ViewSonic PJ556D, it looks like its designed for office presentations but I didnt know if there is any reason why I couldn't use it for my purpose? (I read somewhere that office-projectors migh not have the right color-wheel?)

Please provide me with recommended projectors meeting the previous requirements and/or ideas/things to look for :)
NOTE: Based off what I had read, I was looking at DLP projectors instead of LCD projectors.

Answer
The difference between HOME THEATER and MEDIA projectors is the VIDEO PROCESSING...A media projector is for hooking up a COMPUTER or even an HD source...And these look GREAT...But if you show ANYTHING with less picture quality, the image will suffer.

But a Home Theater projector has a built-in SCALER (video processor)...This takes ANY video source and "up-converts" it to a quality closer to a Hi-Def signal...The "Farujua DCDi" chip is one of the very BEST processors included in projectors.

But if you want to use a projector with "ambient" light, then you're going to spend some money...You can save HUNDREDS of dollars just by "blacking out" your living room...We hung a dark curtain over our window and went with this model...Looks great...Click right here: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/InFocus-ScreenPlay-Entertainment-Projector-SP-4805/sem/rpsm/oid/113968/catOid/-13322/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

And I know the folks will tell you that with those specs you won't get "TRUE" hi-def...But I'm telling you, that even with that resolution, we can tell the difference between DVD and HD (even the difference in "720p" and "1080i" signals).

I used to sell $20,000 Runco projectors and after checking the specs on the Infocus, I was sure it would suck...But you have to see it to believe it...It offers a truly amazing picture for the price...We love ours...But try it for yourself.
