Secondly - nope - I'm not going to stop buying cars because my brother in law tells me moving parts suck. That's as assinine a statement as I've ever heard... But - I will tell you this - if my bro-in-law were to tell me (because he's a mechanic and knows) that a certain make of vehicle is prone to problems I'm going to steer clear. It only makes sense, don't ya think? After all - he's theoretically the "expert"...

My bro-in-law - who services the DLP units tells me to choose a specific group of LCD projectors over a DLP because of issues related to the moving parts in the DLP's - I think I'm gonna pay attention... That's his game, right? But you service them as well, so you would know - I mean, you are the "expert", aren't you...

Sorry you took offense to my first post, Harv - hopefully you don't take more offense to this one...
Sorry to say that no I don't have a DLP projector thats washed out. I've got a 42" 1080p LCD wall mounted in my front room.

My theory doesn't go out any window. How about you post the make and model of your projo and we can review specs and then I can decide if you are trying to blow smoke up my ass.

Besides just because it "Nicest, crispest, sharpest, cleanest picture I've ever had on a screen." doesn't make it the best picture available. It just makes it the nicest, crispest, sharpest, cleanest picture you have ever seen. I'm pretty sure the popluation of this earth is more than just 1.

I think you missed the point of my making the statement about cars and moving parts. I agree it is an assine statement, the point was that it is just as assine as your statement about not buying projo's because they have moving parts.

The keyword is "theoretically" the expert. Is he factory trained and authorised for any major manufactor repair? And unless he holds a cert from CEDIA, I personally won't believe a word out of his mouth. But thats just me, you have to believe him he is your bro in law.

Am I an expert? Can't say that I am, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about either.

I didn't take offence to your first post at all, nor would I take offence to this one either. Taking offence over a post on the internet is so, whats the word,.....stupid.

The gist I'm trying to get accross to the OP is that one should never take the sole advice of one, but to gather information and experience the products he is interested in first hand. Then make a decision based upon that.
