exactly...in fact read up. the differences between this and the 8100 are subtle at best.... and an optoma hd20 retails for $999 and its not even in the same league...

To the OP you are one lucky sum b!%# !

I went to three BB in the Chicago land area and none had the Sanyo or the Epson. I was hoping to score one to replace my PLV-Z5 but I'm SoL so far.

Congrats on the score man!

I agree I checked four down in the Virginia Beach area and all I found was a gutless display model.

Ditch-digger did you clean out the Manchester store or did they have more then the two you and your friend bought?

ditch-digger · 12-27-2009, 12:44 AM

Lookin' good ditch-digger!

Hey ditch-digger--if you happen to be out at any of the best buys in your area this weekend would you mind checking to see if they have either the sanyo or epson and let me know. I have called Portsmouth, Salem, and concord and I can't get anybody on the phone.

I have a friend in the area who owes me a favor and would go pick it up for me. Thanks.

PurpleJesus74 · 01-01-2010, 11:57 PM

My BB never seem to have any projectors in store,i ordered my Sanyo PLV 1080HD online.Isnt the P700 the same model?If it is that is a heck of a deal,i think its a great projector and i paid almost twice that much

Should be the same model, just that there are cosmetic and warranty differences betweem the models. If you were to sell it, you should be able to get more money from it than the deal it is selling it for, some P700 should be around on Ebay at a much higher price, unless maybe if you put it up for auction. Projectors are poorly marketed, and are given alot of bias and unappreaciation. Also people tend to have the belief that projectors can't fit in their rooms (I have seen some home theaters with 32 inch screens in 20-30 foot long rooms and 20 foot wide, the room is dying for a big screen and you can't tell me to put a projector in there?). I personally wouldn't worry about it however, it is still a great projector for the money, and think if you spent thousands on some LED tv that is a quarter of it's size, you'll feel better

Very cool. I will be calling in a favor.

ditch-digger · 01-06-2010, 09:00 PM

progers13 · 01-06-2010, 11:36 PM

Sweet screenshots!

STARSCREAM · 01-06-2010, 11:40 PM

Does this projector have frame interpolation?

zachd73 · 01-08-2010, 03:22 PM

Do you all think there will be other 1080P models that will soon get closed out like this to be on the lookout for??

My ultimate goal was to wait until the panny ae3000u went below $1000 (maybe this fall?) and get one of those, but who knows, for $700 I might get something else sooner.

blarneyrubble · 01-10-2010, 05:45 PM

I never ended up finding any of these deals. Fortunately, I went to my nearby Magnolia store and found a Mitsubishi HC6500. MSRP was originally $3500.00, BB list for $2499.99, had it open box for $1899.99 and I got it for $1099.99. I was sure they weren't going to go for it but they did.

I just put up a sheet and tested it. LOOKS AWESOME! Now I am heading out to get material to make a screen.
