Sorry father for I have sinned
Abstinence is always difficult at this time of the year, and I have to confess to a significant misdemeanour in this regard.... I parted ways with my much loved, but ageing BenQ PE8720 in favour of a younger, sexier model sporting a much better suntan.... the Sony VPL-VW60.
The Sony is 2 generations newer, so it benefits from technology improvements like 1080p resolution and contrast ratio, but I still have a hole in my heart for the BenQ's quieter operation, sharper optics, and "DLP punch".
I'm not a big fan of Dynamic Irises, and this has been re-inforced in my mind when viewing some dark scenes with some bright areas on the Sony, the picture looks a little washed out. I still think the JVC HD1 (and conversely the newer HD100) give a more pleasing image, but overall the Sony is still a step up from the BenQ.
Those that know how I feel about the Evil Bastards (Sony) will be just as shocked as I am in my donation to their cause. The only consolation that I have is that this projector doesn't promote the DRM or proprietary format causes.

You know, I think there's a good home for good ole DLP projectors to retire. Just let me know if she wants to see the green pastures of Europe ;)

I'm afraid the old BenQ has already found a loving home Jeremy!
Besides, it's so big that it would take up half the space in an average European living room.
Only one major upgrade left now.... a decent motorised 2.35:1 screen.
All your sins will be forgiven once your achieve D6500K :)
