the fact that some people actually buy it doesnt mean it isnt crazy :P
these panels are years old, and even the 2500 isnt quite as good as the new tft panels, so defenitely not worth 550 dollars. you can buy a nice second hands beamer for that money :S
i can build projection panels for ~200 dollars with the same specs as the qa-2500! (and composite, s-video, vga input ofcourse..) |

dump another $350 and you can get the new BenQ PM6100 which by the avsforum.com community is better than the X1 and cheaper.
and i understand the whole hobby thing about DIY but problem I see with the hobby is that you'll never be satisfied and want to get an even better image... so you'll spend even more $$$$
im sure there is a few of you who have spent way more than what a good new O.E.M pj costs on DIY projects

Jeez, why me! I didnt sell it for 549$ ...:( and that panel was very nice :) you know cuz you have one.
Anywho, I only put buy nows as a "Luck" option 90% of the time people bid low and dont use buy now..lol
truth is anything over 300$ is too much for any panel (for me)
but many people LOVE panels and the 2500 is supposedly the "king" of them..in the real world panels are still worth thousands so lets not complain about 500$ for an XGA panel..lol
I wish you goodluck on your auction ap0..im pretty sure your gonna get lots of $$ on this one :) |

thats not my panel... LOL
i was just posting it so that we can rag on the guy selling it.
that panel is xga and it might be a great panel "10 YEARS AGO" but by todays standards that panel is worth nada! (to me)
low contrast, you need a OHP and to me its just not convinient.

oops! my bad :) lol
449$ isnt uncommon for those I know a member of this site who sold one for 600$ plus S/H..lol
just because its XGA people think its good..lol
The ratio isnt that bad..its nice for watching tv but not for high res stuff or more ratio demanding content.
I still use my panels when not using my crt :) |

| My bad 499.99 Not 549.99:D Yep Im using the lcd panel as we speak/type, I have it hooked up to the computer and have the Monitor and overhead panel at once ,am I spoiled with projection goodness Yes yes I am, Oh also My brother is SGT in the army So I may have yet again more connections the base is talking about Upgrading again and I guess they have a warehouse fulla stuff they dont use/used once and then were wasteful and stored away and they will sell CHEAPPPPPP, I will hopefully be making a few trips on the next month Wink wink:eek: |

even tho it has a 3x color wheel i can still see what appears to be rainbows but they last less than a mili second... andone had a chance to view this pj in action? |

Very interested. Can you post any screenshots? Still wondering just what this rainbow effect is and how bad it is? I read on another post that the newer pjs have reduced this effect. Is that right? |

its really not bad at all..
it has a 3x color wheel 1500 lumens 2000:1 contrast (you can really see the difference with 2000:1 contrast )and even tho the rainbow are there, they are VERY MINIMAL...
An example, only time i see rainbows is when i watch FINAL FANTASY at the begining when the girl is running through those "firefly looking things".. you see rainbow color lights around the white light but its for a split second. not enough to take your attention away from the movie and when the credits come up. Aside from that its not a factor in deciding to purchase this PJ.
I imagine the rainbows being a little worse on the X1 because it has a 2X color wheel.
i can post some screen shots for you but a little later on tonight. there is a person at avsforum.com that has amazing screenshots from this pj. here is the link:
