My new projector.. :)

[rob1231]

Hey guys, its been a while since I was here and I just thought I would update on my projector. I ditched the whole thing and bought one. I bought a NEC MT1075 and oh boy is it nice. It can do 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and some other things I'll never even use. 4200 Lumens, but I put it on the eco mode to save the bulb a lil more with a life expectancy of 4000 at 2000 Lumens. The image is projected on a 4x8 piece of melamine believe it or not. It really helps during dark parts in movies.


Here are some pics of it in action..

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Sorry about the poor shots, if anyone wants I can try and make some better shots later on.

Hi !
your projector is very good, how much you got it ?

I think 2000 is OK! but that is 3400 ANSI on the eco mode :

[rob1231]

Not DIY !!

This has nothing to do with DIY at all and therefore this should be deleted from the site I THOUGHT THAT THIS SITE WAS FOR THE DIY COMMUNITY ONLY!!!Just my 2 cents.I'm happy with my PJ too but mine is DIY !!And cost alot less with almost as good of results.

I second post above.

 

[adason]

moderators, what are you waiting for?

 

[rob1231]

people people, its not a big deal. I guess you really are what they say you guys are then..

 

[adason]

what is that?
showoffs?

 

[rob1231]

no, just bitch about everything..

Looks cool, much better than my DIY job. Amazing how sharp the pre built ones are compared to badly built diy's 😀

 

[rob1231]

Thanks. I guess the DIY part would be the whole basement reno were doing now. If you didnt notice the walls arnt donw yet among other things.

So really, this kinda does fall under DIY..sorta

That is a seriously bright PJ!

I fixed a 3200 lumen epson the other day and i thought that was bright!

[rob1231]

wow, that is bright. It always feels so good getting somthing old working again. I wish I didnt have to spend that much on a projector, but oh well.

This has nothing to do with DIY

It's always nice to have reference pics of projectors like this for comparison with our DIY efforts

WOW! That's one seriously big picture! i am jealous!
good find indeed.I just picked up a Infocus In72 and already i am ready to step it up to the more powerfull and expensive IN76.

Do you get any pixalation when it get's that size? i can adjust mine to a huge image but the brightness gets lower and the quality begins to lag
It's only 700 lumens in eco mode so i understand it's gonna loose some umpth at that size,plus native resolution is only like 845x480 or something like that, i know it's the ghetto projector- but for $500 and HD inputs the picture on DVD (480p)is pretty sweet 😀

 

[Solitarian]

the contrast is only 800:1?? my Infocus is 2000:1...

 

[sniiki]

Yea, you can make it eat 1080p but it still is a 1024x768 res projector, and that's why I would NEVER EVER pay 2 grands for that!
