RealActivex, I am also looking for a 1080p projector, after having convinced my wife that I should have a projector in my HT room.

How did you narrow down to the Epson. Did you do any price/features/lamp life comparison? If so can we have the data?

Cheers

I checked out an Epson 1080p projector at a cousin-in-law's place......stunning pictures.....he bought it in the US for a couple of lakhs.....feeds it with an Oppo 981.

Buddy

an avg bulb life of a HT Projector is 3000 hrs..i.e more than 1000 movies...
but its goes on well till atleast 3500-3600 hrs...

same in the condition it ranges from 2200 hrs to 4500 hrs...depending on the projectors...

i still think tht you should consider Plasma...
as even though its gaming or whatever, you are not gonna still one single image for more than hour...

Plasma image problem only occurs for the media people who has to display same picture for hours...
so consider it...

Very true. Prices are crashing on the Plasma front. Good that I don't have cash now. By the time I do, I'll surely get PV80s below 50k

Btw, my bro got a PV7 for 45K + free HDMI cable.

Croma mumbai is apparently selling PV7s for < 40K under exchange of 29" CRT.

Well sorry to say shuvc i feel you bro got a bad deal on this part, just a few days back one of the forum member have bought a PV8 for 53k.

I personally feel that pv8 at 53k would have been a better deal any day than buying a pv7 at 45k,

FYI

PV8 the MRP has been brought down to Rs.56K...

and maybe an amazing response but its selling at Rs.50K with many dealers...

and pV7 sucks compatible to pv8...

Ah well. People have budgets and time constraints

.

I hope to buy a PV80 below 50K someday

With the way prices are dropping, i don't think you have to wait long, just read on some posts today, people have bought Pv8 for 49k.

At this rate, probably within a few months time or by next year we would have price drop as new models will come out.

Yup, if the PV8 is available at 49k, your dream has almost come true. There is virtually no difference between the PV8 and the PV80!!
