    wow, sounds like a nice deal! I'm just wondering how big the picture can get??

    • soupiejr on 27/09/2011 - 15:13

      It's 2,600 ANSI lumens, so I'd assume it should still be pretty bright even up to 100"?

      • homersyd on 27/09/2011 - 15:16

        uh duh…stupid me…it says it in the spec you nicely pasted:

        "Image Size (Diagonal): 30 to 300 inch"

  • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2011 - 15:14

    Can it project 16:9 - sorry if a dumb question

    • mrderrickc on 27/09/2011 - 15:24

      Yes but you get the black bars top and bottom

      • ccrap on 27/09/2011 - 16:40

        or if you have a 16:9 screen then there's no problem, it'll just project the black bars off the screen which in a darkened room wont matter anyway!

  • Natt on 27/09/2011 - 15:15

    out of stock?

    • carlenet on 27/09/2011 - 15:21

      In stock in VIC and can be delivered to store or my postcode 3131.

      • Natt on 27/09/2011 - 15:34

  • Purt on 27/09/2011 - 15:15

    epson aus only have an s10 on their site. could be an ow typo?

    • homersyd on 27/09/2011 - 15:17

      yea i saw the same thing…so probably yes a typo….

      • winstonAU on 27/09/2011 - 16:02

        No, not a typo. Seems to be an OW exclusive or perhaps rebranded to avoid pricematch ala Brother HL-2142 (commonly known as HL-2140).

  • GaZZa_Da_G on 27/09/2011 - 15:17

    [ ] SQUARE SCREEN with 4:3 ratio = not to interesting

  • NitNav on 27/09/2011 - 15:18

    native resolution is SVGA = 800x600 pixels

    Not bad if you prefer to show presentation on a white screen or something.

    IMO, I would still prefer to buy a 42" TV at JB Hi Fi at the same price. The TV has 1080HD resolution.

    • soupiejr on 27/09/2011 - 15:23

      42" can't beat a 300" screen though grin

      Admittedly, it'll pixelated all the way to Timbuktu on the big screen :)

      To each, his own!

        haha i like ur expression LOL
        Yup, definitely prefer 300" to 42" even if it's pixelated….
        Actually comments from the others made me think maybe getting one of those no-frills made-in-china HD projector may be a better choice… (I remember seeing some HD ones that go for about $2-300 on feebay)

        • soupiejr on 27/09/2011 - 15:57

          O_o…why have I not thought of this?? Have you come across any from your friends who've purchased one of these? Are they any good? Are the lamps easy to get so we can replace them?

        • homersyd on 27/09/2011 - 16:25

          nar, I dont know anyone that actually got one. That's why I hesitated to buy one…but i guess u can check the ebay comments or something before hand…
          Dont forget to tell me if it's good/bad….hehehe

          oh dear….

          have a look at the "native resolutions" of the ones on fleebay, think your in for a bit of a nasty surprise…

          IE wont be any better than this one.

          for a cheating example (on how manufacturers lie)see interpolation for camera…
          but worse IE it downscales the image.

          signal it can see is 1080P but will only show 800*600

          do yourself a favour, if Cash is an issue go buy yourself an older CRT, huge contrast ratio, but not very bright, fine for normal rooms, i had an old 320line CRT displayed TV fine… beaty of them is that you can blur them slightly rather than getting a pixelated image.
          they also dont suffer from fly screen and rainbow effects.
          so big and heavy no one really wants them anymore, but they still chuck along with 10-20,000 hours on them
          for more info see:

    • sunnyii on 27/09/2011 - 16:31

      800x600 is pretty bad…

  • _Bruce_ on 27/09/2011 - 15:27

    Given the resolution I think a TV is a better option.

  • homersyd on 27/09/2011 - 16:52

    another thing to consider is the cost of the bulb replacement, I heard they need to be replaced every few months. No idea what they cost tho…

    • wisc on 27/09/2011 - 17:36

      try every few years depending on use… typical globe costs about 400+ bux…

      3000 hours or so of use depending on the projector.

      if you only use it a couple of hours per day, it ends up being a huge amount of time. better ones can last upto 10 years on an hour a day. good to have a TV and a projector…

      what you should be more concerned about is that they can only be used in light controlled rooms.

    Sorry to let you all down, but these are data projectors for boardrooms and offices which have lots of lighting. If you're looking for home cinema use, these have crap contrast ratios as they're only maximised for brightness. If you want for video, ignore brightness and look at native contrast ratios (not Dynamic contrast).
    At $399 it's only SVGA resolution (very 90s!). If you're looking for home cinema you'll need to spend $3k and over - you get what you pay for basically. Just saying. This is one example: http://www.jvc.com.au/displays/projectors but Epson and Sony also have home cinema projectors

      While I agree with your comments regarding contrast ratios, I disagree that you have to spend $3k to get a good projector. There was a fabulous Epson home theatre projector on here a while back for a little over a grand.

      • Pidim on 28/09/2011 - 11:55

        All Epson projectors use LCDs to project an image, giving a 'screen door' effect with clearly visible pixels. You're better off with a large screen Plasma/LCD. Unless you go for LCoS (Liquid Crystal on silicon) technology eg JVC D-ILA, or Sony SXRD you won't get true home cinema. Actually the JVC's are the only ones that use native contrast ratios. If all you want is a big picture I can't argue. If you compare to sound quality, it's like asking whether you want loud music or quality sound & loud.

  • eug on 30/09/2011 - 13:10

    I just picked one up. Works great for what it is, but beware, it's a fixed-focal-length projector. That means there's no zoom dial, so if you're planning on installing it on a ceiling, you need to get your measurements exact.
