Hi,
I really need some help choosing between these two projectors, the Sanyo PLV-Z1, and the Sony VPL-HS10, both widescreen. It will be my first projector and I want it for watching movies and maybe playing a few games but I think mainly films.
They are both second hand. The sanyo bulb has blown but im guaranteed the projector works and have sourced a new bulb for £211.
The sony is in mint condition and I said I would pick up if i buy(about a 2 hour drive). The bulb has some useage but atleast I can se it working.
Anyway, I was gonna go for the Sanyo, but the sony came along and seems like such a great deal, plus there is the bonus that i can see it working, where as if i get the sanyo and it doesnt work I will be stuck with the bulb even though the guy will refund the projector; but he is addament it will work.
My main concern is the throw length on the Sony, I would like to use it at about 3m from the screen, and 4m max, but i am not sure if this is far enough away.
So what you think? I don't have a great deal of funds, so the sony is a bit extravagent, I originally set my range at £400 and limit at £500, the sony is all the money i have.
