Hi,
Our residents association has zeroed in on Hitachi CP Dx-250 HD for screening of movies outdoors on to a wall for community viewing.

The model was selected based on the fact that it was what we got when we hired a projector.
We have received quote for Rs42,000 in Hyderabad for the same.Is this a fair price??

Should we go ahead or are there any better projectors?

The budget is limited and the requirements are : 1)Should be rugged 2) should support HD projection.3) should have high lumen output as the wall is quite big - approx 15'X10' and ambient is not fully dark.

Thanks
 
Is there an CP Dx-250 HD version? CP Dx-250 is available in ebay for 29k. If that is the projector, it only has 2500 Lumens which maybe bit low for outdoor community viewing. Also it only gives 1024x768 native. Let Gurus in this forum comment more on it.
Ask the dealer to give a demo before you take a call.
 
Will check the exact model no. Since we will be mostly watching Cable TV -sports channels, I guess that 1024 x 768 will suffice.

Regarding lumens yes the brighter the better. So are there any other suggestions?
 
please go for Epson Eh Tw 480 which I have recently installed after studying few important things. You can get it between 40k and 42k and the picture quality is awesome. Please do not forget the excellent after sales support of Epson.
regards
 
Thanks for all the suggestions.

We got fresh quotes and shortlisted the following.

Sharp PG-LX3000 -Rs 39,900

Hitachi CP-DX300 -Rs39,500 ( avl at Rs36,100 in Amazon India)

As per the dealer Sharp is better for color reproduction.

a) As per specs both have same 3000 Lumens,1024X768 XGA,

b) Lamp: Sharp has 250 W vs 190W for Hitachi. Not sure which is better as Lumens are same. Not worried about power consumption.

c) The major difference : Hitachi has 2500:1 Contrast vs Sharp 2000:1

Any feed back on the above projectors? Which one is better for movies?
