5.0 out of 5 stars Best Budget Projector, April 24, 2005

I did a lot of research and it boiled down to the PB6100/6110 or the InFocus X1/X1a. I purchased the PB6100 and have been plesantly surprised after a month of use. In presentation mode, the picture at 7 feet wide is sharp and impressive (make sure you select the correct user mode). For movies, the picture quality is truly stunning (must choose cinema mode) at 7 feet wide!! It appears that the quality of DVD player is rather important as a budget DVD player produces a washed out screen while a good progressive scan player produces rich and vibrant colors with no distortion. Shockingly good, even with some ambient light. It is a huge payoff for a very modest investment. Very enthusiastically recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Check the lamp warranty before you buy, December 16, 2005

The lamp in my PB6100 only lasted 600 hours in economy mode.. quite a bit less than the 3000 hours quoted for it and the PB 6110 available now. The lamp warranty is 90 days or 1000 hours. (of course the 90 days came first...I don't watch 11 hours of television per day!) When I called Benq, the tech support said the average lamp life of people calling for replacements was 500 to 1000 hours. again, quite a bit less than what is quoted in the sales literature. He said I got the warrented life out of the lamp (90 days, I guess) and should be happy with that.

By the way, I first had to e-mail to get a phone number, then waited on hold for about 25 minutes for the guy to say I'm SOL.

So, instead of looking at a $400.00 lamp every 3000 hours, I'm looking at a new lamp every 600 hours, or *FIVE TIMES AS MUCH*

I wish these guys would be honest about lamp life.

Good luck, and may your lamps last at least half as long as "up to 3000 hours"

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, outstanding picture, superior DLP., August 17, 2005

I made a huge research before buy this one, I'm not a fan of any brand, I just wanted the best for buck, simply. and I got it, compared with many others below $900 range, infocus, epson, optoma, viewsonic, nec..etc and definetely this one stands out.

However you'll have to buy a composite to vga cable, to get better results. highly noticeable, when you use this special cable, tested with a yamaha progressive dvd player. I tested also from my toshiba laptop thru a firewire port using a canopus advc110 converter to SVHS. Excellent picture not as good as the one from a composite to vga. The last experiment came from my AIW X800XT with composite outputs, got even a slightly sharper picture. Mainly I use it to watch movies and play Half-life 2 and doom3. If you want to go fancy and impress your friends a Elite VMAX100UWV 100" 4:3 Elect. Proj Screen Black is highly recommended. I got shocked first time I watched it.
