OK, I purchased a 61" LCOS over a year ago and for a while was thinking of just using my old reliable CRT downstairs in the entertainment unit and putting a screen over it that I could pull down for movies.
During my months of research I had it narrowed down to the Panny AE900 and then the 1000 was just coming out. My projection TV is JVC, but for a projector I would go with the panasonic. Picture was outstanding, contrast was great and the reliability and customer satasfaction with owners on digitalhome.ca was solid.
At one time Cannondale bikes had the highest brand loyalty in their market. Meaning Cannondale owners almost always bought another Cannondale as their next bike. Panny projector owners seemed the same and to me that means they are doing something right.
good luck
