RE: (a bit OT) Video projectors

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I actually preferred the MT1 t  the VW10HT that I saw at W2FM but I have
subsequently seen a better calibrated VW10 and it was superb ... the MT1
however *IS* a great projector and I was *ALMOST* tempted t  can my
thoughts
of a CRT projector and save myself some money by going for the MT1.

Given that there are some very good VP400QMs out there ... just make sure
that you get t  see the hours counter on the bulb and check it out for a
green bias ... some of them had a strong green tinge. The advantage of a
second hand one is that you can check them out for dead / stuck pixels and
they're unlikely t  develop more.
