Good Day Everyone
I have been playing hooky from the forum for a few years (4 to be exact). Just been busy with work, kids, life, etc.
Anyways. I have a Panasonic PT-AE900u that I bought new in 2007. It’s time to replace the bulb and they aren’t cheap for this baby ($400), and they only last for about 2000 hours.
I am thinking maybe I should put that $400 towards a new projector. Has anyone upgraded from the 900u?
I do like this projector but there are a few things that could be improved 1) it isn’t the brightest projector in the world 2) the image is a little soft 3) very expensive bulbs and short bulb life 4) blacks are good, but let’s face it, they can always be better 5) Some motion blur.
I borrowed my friends Epson 730, but wasn’t impressed as it was a very nice bright picture (almost too bright) but the blacks were horrible and much of the picture looked washed out.
Room is a dedicated HT room with no windows and screen is 135”.
I welcome your thoughts. Thanks much - Paul
