In Reply to: dwin projector -- is the 500 good? posted by chris e. on July 11, 1999 at 04:03:11:
...don't buy it, however, until you've seen the Sony VPH-D50Q. The Sony has mild fan noise, but nowhere near as loud as bulb based projectors. I don't consider the noise distracting and I sit about 2-3 feet from the projector.I've never compared the Dwin directly to the Sony, but I bought the Sony.
Something to think about -- heat is the enemy of electronic circuits. I'd personally rather have my projector fan cooled.
The Sony looks like a very good unit as well. The fan noise doesn't sound bad. Have you had any problems with the unit? It has a 3 year warranty on tubes and chassis so this sounds appealing. Also, does the Sony do anamorphic and multiple aspect ratios? (I assume so)thanks for the info.
...it can be set up for any aspect ratio and it has multiple memories for the various settings. It is fantastic...I love it and would buy it again in a heartbeat. I bought it for 8 grand from B&H Photo in New York. It is possible to set up yourself (I did) but it's probably worth paying someone a few hundred dollars for initial setup. You shouldn't need a tech after that (unless you move it), any minor convergence touchups can easily be done by you from the remote (like all CRTs, the convergence will drift somewhat over time).I use an NEC/Faroudja 200 doubler which I purchased for $3000 from a company on the net. It doesn't have component inputs, but if the manufacturers ever release the progressive scan DVD players, I can plug directly into the Sony (it has component inputs). If you're interested, let me know and I'll round up the address for you.
I can't begin to tell you how much this projector has enhanced my life. Both my laserdiscs and DVDs look stunning via the Sony.
Sorry to bug you again, but if you wouldn't mind forwarding any address you might have for B&H (number or email) I'd appreciate it. I'm also seeing about the Sony 70 version although it might be a bit pricey for me. Glad to hear about the quality and flexibility of the Sony 50.Again, thanks.

I've used these folks for years for camera and video equipment. They have always been 100% reliable.
Let me know if you're interested in the NEC/Faroudja info. I didn't find a better deal on a Faroudja and I wasn't particularly impressed with the optional Sony doubler.
