Projectors

[etype2]

Greetings miketuason,

It is true, AVS forum is a good place for projection television. The best IMPO, is here https://www.flatpanelshd.com/flatforums/app.php/rt FLATPANELSHD. There is spirited discussion on this site on your favored topic on the “Flat Panels and digital format” forum. There are a few of us, including myself that enjoy projection television.

Advent A.K.A. Electrohome show up but no others I remember.
Since they all had either a modded Sylvania or Electrohome chassis
tech problems are rare. They were very basic early SS sets easy to fix.
A rich mans set. That means only the rich & very poor bought them.

I worked on a few newer ones, dont remember the names. These were all out like nothing else & hung on the ceiling & gave a HUGE pix. Modules were
upwards of 1 K USD $$$ !!! US built & no holds barred. Real HQ stuff.

Curt Palme has a forum for projection TV, the were real big into the high end CRT projectors some years back. I suppose a few of them might still be upgrading Electrohome Marquees, Sony G90s and the like. Some of those high end CRT projectors will resolve a 1080p picture and look glorious when they do but huge heavy expensive hard to fix/find parts for. I had an Electohome ECP projector that made a great image but ended in flames…..

I just settled for a high end JVC LCoS projector from around 2009 or so…..

I still have a Sony D50 HTU CRT projector. Hugh footprint and hanging from the ceiling. I keep saying when it dies I'll put it to sleep. Good picture on a 84 inch screen.
My first was a VPH1000 sony from a thrift store. I miss that old guy. Analog convergence and only composite in. Had it a LONG time!

I spent many years working on Sony's. Got tired of spending time in the stratosphere where many ceiling mounted projectors resided ,converging those VPH 1000's, 1030/1031's, 1040,1041's. I will take sitting in a comfortable chair on the ground converging a ceiling mounted D50,G90 and even the VPH1270-72 series anyday. Those were all great projectors in their day.
