RE: (a bit OT) Video projectors

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

The little gathering that I've suggested that you come along with me t  is
at a shop in Glasgow called Stereo Stereo and is being arranged by a friend
of mine, Gordon Fraser. It was he that showed me the VW10HT set up properly
(i.e. properly calibrated and colour corrected).

Out of the box the VW10HT's are *NOT* well set up and the box shifters may
be dropping ?500 or so off the price but on my opinion by buying one from a
box shifter you are not necessarily getting a unit which runs at its best.
Stereo Stereo calibrate each unit they sell and you can see the difference.

The VW10 I saw at W2FM was *APPAULING* ... the MT1 bettered it in every
respect apart from the fact that it was a 4:3 ratio panel. The VW10 I saw
at
Stereo Stereo could have been a completely different model of projector -
it
was that different.
