(I need the 40%+ horizontal shift) The Epson is still listed on their Japanese website as 2nd half (end) of November, and the AE3000 still has virtually no information available in Japan. I've seen mention in the states that the AE3000 "front projector coming in October", and I'm wondering if there are any dates set in the US.http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067387&goto=newpost RS1020 Preorder Interest- September 16, 2008 A few forum members have asked me if I would help organize a grassroots preorder on the RS20 so I spoke to Jason and he said to start collecting names. The interest that I've been getting has been tremendous. Something like 83% of the respondents are interested. I'm happy to announce that we have reached "critical mass" and a preorder is in the works. Pricing hasn't been determined yet although it should be soon. If someone is interested and they aren't on my or Jason's list, please PM me..http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067170&goto=newpost Projector modularity. Why don't they do it- September 16, 2008 We buy a nice projector that becomes obsolete before it drives itself out of the dealership... ;) I know, it's a car analogy but it's close. Sure the imaging chips (LCD, LCoS, DLP) get oldoutdated. The driving electronics; the same. The power supplies get worn out or blow up (hello InFocus) And we all know about the lamps, those hated, scorching lumps of heat buildup and despair.

I searched the web some months back and found the lmph200 listed on att pro for 287.94. The problem is I haven't seen where anyone has ordered from them and don't really know if this is a reliable company or not. Has anyone on here heard of them, or done business with them beforehttp://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1066997&goto=newpost Leica enters the digital projector market: Pradovit D-1200- September 15, 2008 Leica certainly have good lens, photography and slide projector pedigree. But don't get too excited, it looks like they're just using Avielo projectiondesign to OEM projectors being sold under the Leica brand. Their first model appears to use the same tiny chassis as the Avielo Radiance (http:www.avielo.comproducts_radiance.html) and projectiondesign F10 (http:www.projectiondesign.comDefault.aspCatID=1673) - and is probably not aimed at the mainstream market.

What kind of electrical issue would cause a projector to not be able to display at 60hz, and only at 70hz There are 2 projectors ceiling mounted in 2 side by side rooms, they will only run at 70hz, but if you change outlets by running a cord directly to the 2 projectors they will run at 60hz. The only thing I can think of, and I may be completely wrong, is that the power cord in the ceiling is either defective, or running into interference...maybe...
