My cinema room is close to completion now after a flood and the insurers/tradesmen should be out by the end of next week, so I have just bagged myself this bad boy as replacement for the Jurassic (in both age and size) one we inherited from the previous owners.
SONY VPL-HW10 - Full 1080P
I agreed with the boss (The Missus) that we could get a new one in time for the World Cup so I phoned my man at the local AV Shoppe and he said he had one in. Because it is a discontinued model (new once came out a couple of months ago) I am getting the shop demo one, 8.5 hours on the lamp, for just under £1500 :shock: With full 3 year SONY warranty where they come to your house to fix it if there's any issues.
Waaaaay more than I planned to spend but it is frighteningly good, so I will just have to miss a couple of payments on my car to pay for it
AV man reckoned that there are some projector enthusiasts who collect old 3 lens projectors so the old BARCO Cine7 I am getting rid of (below) is worth up to £500-£600 to the right person. Time to get on the 'bay I reckon...
Here's a pic of the old beast
And here's a random pic I found on the web of it needing 4 blokes to mount it!!! I mean, it does weigh 38Kilo's but me and my 8 and half months pregnant missus took it down ouselves the other night. She undid the bolts and I rested it on my head :shock: Damn near crushed me!
