I have the Epson Home Cinema 2000, it's plenty bright enough for football in a normally dark room, (lights out, kitchen light on, blinds closed, no blackout cloth) even in eco mode; and I'm using a 135 inch screen. It doesn't have the black level of a higher contrast machine, but, at its price, you really won't find anything close to the quality. I am extremely happy with my choice.

buy the 8350 if you want a movie theater projector .......as in most things you get what you pay for...the key word on the 2030 is that it "supports" 16:9 that is not really HD I have the 8350 and it is great with a 100" fixed ELITE screen .....you will be very happy.....keep in mind if you do get this mount it high and in back of the room.....and look up the setting for the fan setting called "Mountain" fan is a bit louder but the bulb will last 3 times as long....i cant even hear it when in use

There are 3 different versions: Led 33/66/88 or something similar. I think only the 66/88 are native 1080p

What kind of projector are you using? The throw distance is different for each. I use the BenQ SH940 for events and I am happy with the results. I recommend that you go to the website to see the throw distance for your projector: http://www.projectorcentral.com/projection-calculator-pro.cfm

120 basically doubles the refresh rate of the images. That is very good especially if you like sports. .. I had a Sony that I returned because it said it was 1080 pixels but it was really only 720... don't you hate being lied to? I do...

The only thing you'll gain with the Plasma is better viewing angles - and much higher electric bills. This DLP gives noticeably better blacks than that Samsung plasma This DLP gives a noticeably bigger picture This DLP gives comparable color, sharpness and overall PQ as the Plasma This DLP is cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run. This DLP displays a brighter picture. - You already have a great TV, so stop stressing. The absolute only logical reasons to get the plasma is if you intend to throw huge Wii gaming parties or if you're running a bar requiring the viewing angle advantage. Or if you need to wall mount. Otherwise stick with and enjoy this DLP. The only plasmas worth consideration over this 67a750 is the Pioneer 6020/elite and 'possibly' the Panasonic 58" 800/850u. Other plasmas aren't worth comparing to this DLP.

I would go with the OLED. 4Ks look bad (from what I've read) with non-4K sources.

Neither. Have tried out both and neither compares to the Optima HD 25e or 25-LV (brighter lamp). Optimas have 1. More advanced image chips, 2. Brighter output 3. Quieter cooling fans (much). In a side by side comparison, I found their projectors to be in a class above the Epson & BenQ.

The choice is entirely up to your viewing preferences. LED performs better in brightly lit rooms. But Plasma has the better picture hands down, and I do most of my tv viewing after work and in the evenings on weekends.

Toshiba seemly isn't playing "the game" bigger is better. Movie theaters have only a 500:1 contrast ratio. If you like going to the movies, you'll like pretty much anything better than this. Don't let your ego make the decision for you. Understand what they are actually talking about. See following article:http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/contrast-ratio.html Is Toshiba's mentioned CR static or dynamic? There are 2 kinds of contrast ratio - static (CR) & dynamic (DCR). From what I understand, a static contrast ratio of 800:1 translates into something much LARGER in dynamic contrast ratio (something like 8000:1 - sorry I don't know exactly). So, be sure to compare apples to apples - CR to CR & DCR to DCR. Toshiba uses what they call "Dynamic Contrast (4 Mode)". I don't know if its the same as what the industry calls dynamic contrast, but they seem to want you to "see it & compare" (see "Contract Ratio???" thread for others who have posted approximate contrast ratios for this TV, if you must have one)

The replies here are correct, the HD only refers to the newer screen being LED and not CCFL. It is the best one in the 900 series but not best overall, if thats what you are meaning.

I found this posting that appears to be accurate: Differences D62U 2000:1 Native / 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 2 Frame rate conversion = 60Hz Four-wavelength backlight system D82U 2000:1 Native / 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 3 Frame rate conversion = 120Hz Four-wavelength backlight system D92U 3000:1 Native / 15,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio HDMI vers 1.2a x 3 Frame rate conversion = 120Hz Five-wavelength backlight system

No, it's not a high-def projector, (not sure precisely what it is) that being said, HD images through it do still look darn good, and considering the cost of actual HD projectors, this is a pretty good deal, one thing I should mention, make sure your source is on before the projector, i.e. - Amp/DVD-Blu-ray and projector last (said it did not support my Blu-ray player) shut everything off and turned projector on last, bingo! Worked great!

Based on the projectors you stated, All three have a high amount of lumens and with the other information given, I highly recommend the gray screen because of the high contrast and better depth that Joseph talked about. Make sure your screen is not touching the wall and there is a small space in between or you will have too much contrast. We game on both the xbox and ps3 and there is a big difference when using gray screen. I have experimented with both and gray is way better.

The HD20 id a great projector still, but the HD25e further improves the 2D image and has longer lamp life, and much higher contrast ratio for better blacks, etc. Then it also has full HD 3D bulit in as well. So if you can afford it go for the HD25e if not then the HD20 will still likely make you very happy as it has a great 2D image even today.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

The VX2452MH has a 50m:1 contrast ratio, The VA2451M-LED only has a 10m:1 ration (higher is better, so the VX2452MH wins)The VX2452MH has a response time of 2ms, The VA2451M-LED has a response time of 5ms (Lower is better so the VX2452MH wins again)The VX2452MH has 3 inputs (HDMI, VEGA, DVI), The VA2451M-LED only has 2 inputs (VEGA and DVI) (3 is better than 2 VX2453MH wins again)You get more with the VX2452MH so if they are the same price i would buy the VX2452MH.
