This review is from: Viewsonic PRO8100 Full HD 1080p Home Theater ProjectorTitle of the review says it all...connected this with via HDMI my onkyo receiver with AppleTV, MOXI DVR, Panasonic BluRay, and Xbox360 and all I can say is that this projector is nothing short of spectacular. AMAZING picture, SUPER SUPER CLEAR when projected on a high quality, low/no-gain white projector screen and an HDMI input. No noise, no issues, just 100% awesome. I also have this projector ceiling mounted and it mounts to a universal mount with no issues. I've got about 147" picture projecting on a 150" screen (had to mount the projector a few inches more forward than I wanted to because of stud locations) and the picture is breathtaking. BluRay discs look increadible along with HDTV from the Moxi DVR box.I DID have to fight with it a little bit to get my receiver to communicate with the projector, more of a receiver issue but wish the projector's software was a little more sophisticated to be able to receive signals from a receiver a little easier with less set up from my end. Eventually got the onkyo receiver to send a picture once I reset all settings, and cut the power to all components and let it sit for a while to clear it all out. Again, if the software/firmware on the projector was a little more sophisticated, the initial setup would have been easier.Overall, just a pheneomonlly awesome projector. My guess is since the price keeps going down day by day that viewsonic plans to replace this with a newer model. My thought is to go ahead and get this one new for a steal of a price at around $1100. Nothing can beat it for the price. I believe this was originally a $5,000 projector back in 2007, and would probably still be worth it today....
This review is from: Viewsonic PRO8100 Full HD 1080p Home Theater ProjectorAt its current $1400 price, this is a fantastic buy. It produces very sharp clear, bright images with great color, is very quiet, and has negligible light leaks compared to other projectors in its (current) price class. And a long warranty! Blacks are acceptable, but not exceptional. But, all-round, the picture is truly fantastic. For a screen, I am using a fixed 92" white accuscreen. Looks just fantastic in a light controlled room.There are a couple warnings/caveats however: Some people, including myself, have experienced dim lines in the image when it is first powered up from standby. These can be eliminated by either cutting the power to the projector once it has cooled down, or - easier - to the AVR or whatever your video source is when you are not using it, rather than leaving everything in standby. I have my AVR and PS3 on a power-strip with a switch. Turning it off when not in use completely eliminates the problem (and saves electricity...)As a second caveat: you will probably want to upgrade the firmware - many of the units shipped with a buggy auto-iris implementation. The firmware upgrade went smoothly for me, and solved the issues.Once I was able to work through these issues, I love this projector!...
This review is from: Viewsonic PRO8100 Full HD 1080p Home Theater ProjectorThe Pro8100 was sold at first only to professional home theater installers in mid-2008 at an MSRP of $5000. It has since become directly available for around $1200, and has become a popular forum recommendation as a result. It competes with, in ascending price order, the Optoma HD20, Mitsubishi's HC3800, and Epson's 8100. I've had three Pro8100s over the course of a month, all from Tiger Direct and manufactured in February, 2010. All of them have shown moving horizontal scanlines visible from 16' away from a 155" screen. No other projector does this, and the intensity of the banding has varied with each unit. With two of them, it was visible only with rapid onscreen movement or very bright areas. With the third, it was always visible and annoying. It's unclear if this issue will ever be resolved. Viewsonic no longer makes this model and their support does not acknowledge this problem. I ultimately replaced it with a Mitsubishi HC3800, a DLP projector with far less placement flexibility, but superior image quality. The comparison, side by side with a variety of reference HD material and computer test patterns, was illuminating.The three most important specifications of any projector are lumen output, ANSI contrast, and absolute black levels. Lumen output dictates how well the projector will handle ambient light and large screen sizes without washing out or becoming uncomfortably dim. ANSI contrast measures dynamic range, or the brightest and darkest colors the projector can display at the same time. The 'punch' of a picture with bright lights and dark shadows is heavily dependent on ANSI contrast. Lower ANSI numbers imply a flatter image with grayer blacks. Finally, low absolute black levels ensure that in completely dark scenes, black appears black and not a dark slate. Beyond image quality, certain features aid in placement flexibility. A generous zoom range allows the projector to display a range of image sizes at a particular distance, or the same image size while moving the projector. Lens shift allows the projected image to be moved without moving the projector or incurring keystone distortion. These features are more common in LCD projectors than DLP. The Pro8100 has extensive motorized shift and zoom. The motorization is helpful if the projector is placed in an inaccessible ...
