Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Projector TV Recomendations please?

Oak,

I don't see a particular time of the year when the FP prices drop universally. It's just like computers and other digital gears -- you wait longer and will surely find latest-greatest-cheapest models. In return, you will surely lose time of enjoyment, which can be priceless.

At least be aware of the officially announced upcoming models (such as the Panasonic and Sonny models I listed above). But if he wants to start enjoying the FP right now, go get one now and start making a good use of it. There will be no buyers remorse if he does it well-informed...

Oak, that time has came and past. There is a big "expo" for the home theatre world called Cedia, which was earlier this month. Companies release new stuff and lower prices. Not much at all went on this year. I would definitely feel comfortable buying right now. If prices do drop down, not much you can do about it at this point...just the way life goes =)

My 2 cents worth: Buy now if you have the money! The reason for this is simple. There are always going to be new models coming out! So if you are like me and are waiting for the newest model or for the prices to fall you could get trapped in that visious circle. Waiting for a particular model's price to drop into your price range and when it does something new comes out that you gota have, and the cycle starts all over! I started looking at projectors about 2 or 3 years ago (back when the most lumens you could get was 200, and only a handfull of company's made them) and I still havn't got one yet. Now days there are many great projectors out there in all price ranges, for all genre's.

To summarize: Look at the sugested projectors, BUT buy NOW!

Just my opinion
