I'm looking to buy a used projector for home cinema puposes. should i get an old good one, or a newer avg one?
I found the epson powerlite 710c on craigslist for $500. it was worth 6000 in the year 2000. Will this projector be better than something newer that i can get for $500?
Thanks
Here's a review of the Epson powerlite 710c which should be of interest to you:
[Quote] How about some home theater?
After the big presentation, you want to kick back, relax, and be entertained. Though the 700c / 710c was not built for the home theater market, it's got some very good video performance capability. Hook up your DVD player, wire its audio output into your stereo, point the projector at a screen, and you've got a makeshift home theater system that will impress the neighbors.
This projector gives you the ability to adjust red, green, and blue independently. So the tools are there to zero in on a very accurate color balance. Neither the 700c nor the 710c is bright enough to watch with the lights on if you want high quality video. But in a darkened room, the picture quality is surprisingly good coming from a little 5.8 lb package.
In particular, the video image was amazingly free of motion artifacts. The picture produced with the standard composite and S-video was stable and pleasing. However, it was a little bit soft as if it were ever so slightly out of focus. For part time home theater, the image is fine, but the videophile would want a little more precision.
For those who want better video performance, the DVDO iScan line doubler seems like it was made for this projector. At less than $600 on the street, the iScan is a nice add-on accessory for a projector in the 700c / 710c price range. When its line-doubled progressive signal is fed into the projector via the VGA port, the resulting video image is noticeably better in just about all respects: colors are more saturated, edge definition is more precise (the softness is gone), and the picture is brighter and higher contrast.
