Your right BMXTRIX, but hey, don't try to ripe my head off ! I been reading many of your thread and I have allots of respect for what you know and the good advice you give in this forum.
The projector central web page is great site and have much better info that softmagic web page I suggest. But your "Most people don't need sites that SELL projectors" might be right were you are; probably in the USA; but her in Canada " Most people don't have a choose to look at sites that SELL projectors " And yes your right again when you said "There are tons - and TONS of online etailers" but many of them don't sell outside the US border(that changing slowly) So unless some one is shopping in a big city like, Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal the market for projector is almost zero. Event in these big city it's hard to fine more that 3 or 4 different model at the same place and these place usually sell only top of the line projector that price are over $10k.
I don't know why, but most of these shop have a big price difference with the US; I find often compare product price in the US market and Can market and you can add the exchange rate to the US price plus add a extras 40% to up 50%. The X1 infocus I purchase is a good example. I found that model in 3 different city with less that 3 hours drive from Kingston. Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, the price of the last 2 was over $2K and in Toronto it was $1,500. Softmagic price was $1199 free shipping and no provincial tax and no driving expense. Crashguy is from Sask, Canada; I past 4 year in the west when I was in the Canadian arms forces, and I be really surprise if Crashguy saw many projector demo around his place, and he probably doing just like me. Read many magazine, find review in the internet and ask question in web forum hopping to fine some one who know is stuff when we have question....some one like you BMXTRIX.
