People upgrading their projectors and me getting a good deal on their old one - the t - Blu-ray Forum

I'm not quite in the position to buy a projector yet, in terms of having a good place to even set it up - but I'm curious about the used projector market. If I don't want to spend a few grand for a brand new 1080p with a great contrast ratio, what do you guys do with your old 720Ps or lesser 1080Ps when you get a new one and what sort of prices should I look for in a good deal.

With JVC's recent announcement of new projectors coming out early next year, I would expect that you will find a lot of used RS-1's in the $1-2k range very soon. This would be a great projector deal for ~$1k (relatively bright at 700 lumens in best calibrated mode with a native 15000:1 sequential contrast ratio).

ooo if anyone with one of those is planning on upgrading, please do post here if you're interested in selling yours at that time.

Seems silly to pay $1500 for a projector that' 800 X 600. Was looking for someone's higher end(in good condition) that they're looking to sell when they get a newer model. Like a used RS-1 for cheap sounds great.

Used RS-1 for ~$1000.

Sounds good to me, sign me up. (I've actually not seen an RS-1 but I've read plenty about them.)
