I have been thinking a lot lately about getting a front projector. Namely the sanyo plv z5, or panny 100 or even possibly the 1080 versions the epson 1080 home or the panny, but I am kinda concerned because on the avs forum they seem to have a lot of problems? I am asking individuals that have or have had projectors in the past. How long do these projectors last? Is the quality control for projectors that bad that a person is lucky to get one that does not have some sort of problem within a year? Let me know what you think? Looking for good experiences and bad? I really don't want to spend that kind of money if it will only work for a few years (or less). I definitely want the big movie theater experience, but I sure would hate to have my wonderful tv I already have and sell it and then have a projector that craps out on me within a year. I wouldn't think that would be a very smart investment. Has anyone had experiences with any of these projectors??
