He is looking at a Sony HS-51 3 chip LCD projector, which uses an automatic iris to improve black levels (cute idea). Single chip DLP projectors are a problem for him because he can see artifacts VERY easily (he's our official deer spotter when we go hunting, even without binos ) and so far this projector has seemed by far the best in the price range for his eyes.
We have had the Sony here since the first of the year - Fresh out of the box, it is really good. Then there was a recall for some software upgrades, and I would call it fantastic now.
We also have a Yamaha 510 LCD, and the Sony crushes it.
