I generally do whenever possible (I'm always keen to find a bargain). I think the Sony would still be too big for our room, though. Our current projector is ceiling mounted above our heads (a venerable and still seamlessly working Epson TW-6100W), and anything larger than that definitely won't...

Fully agree on the need to demo. The nearest RS branch to me are great, but I tend to prefer only to arrange a demo for kit that I've been able to pin down as a likely purchase based on my research. Congrats on getting the Sony, by the way! I'd love to grab one of those too (especially as...

That is true, but I'm in the market for a new projector and couldn't afford a native 4k unit, so looking for the "best of the rest". Native 4K projectors also tend to be very large and the wrong colour for my ceiling mounted living room set up (my wife is happy with white projectors in general...

That's true. I've seen a few of the early "loan" units available for around £2,000 or even a little less with little or no use, so tempted by those. The Optoma is certainly an interesting alternative. Nearly all the reviews of the Valerion seem to be that it is very impressive, but keen to find...

There are lots of very positive reviews about this projector, with very few indicating any significant issues. While I'm trying to wait for the Whathifi review before considering one, I'm very tempted. Does anyone have any experience with one of these, or actually have one they might be able to...

Brilliant. Thanks!

It's sounding like my visit to RS will be a long one! Amp and projectors to audition, plus some possible arm twisting. Really appreciate the benefit of your experience, both with projector and amp. Thanks, Arron!

Thanks, Arron. Very useful advice re the 7000 versus the 7100. I'll also take a trip to my local RS to see if I also see rainbows with DLP. Funds are a bit stretched as I'm also looking at replacing my receiver (current Pioneer SC-LX71 still going strong, but I need a second HDMI out with...

Thanks, Bill. I have to admit I was largely looking at the Epson LCDs, just because of my experience to date with the 6100. I only ever use the projector in a darkened room, mainly for watching Bluray films, but some streaming too. Haven't tested myself for rainbow effect susceptibility, but...

Thanks for your reply, Arron. Appreciated. The model I'm replacing is an Epson EH-TW6100W, which I've always been pleased with, but would now like to upgrade to 4K (recently bought a Panasonic UB820EB Bluray player after my old Pioneer LX71 gave up). Will keep looking for discounts on the...

Looking to buy a new projector, and was considering eh-tw7000 or 7100, but have spotted these two new models. Has anyone seen them in action? Worth considering?

Hello everyone. It's been quite a while since I bought an AV amp, so I am looking for some sage advice. I currently use the Pioneer Sc-LX71 for both home cinema and music playback, feeding a 7.1 Monitor Audio Silver speaker package. It sounds great, but, so that I can use its passive HDMI...
