So what type of projector is that, and what can expect to spend on one?

Thanks! Really interested in a setup like this

That appears to be a school uniform. My oldest son's is very similar.

I'm looking at this one for my gaming rig.

You do Furby?

No issues with resolution in game? I assume no ghosting etc...response time is 16ms MAX.

Mind if I ask what you paid for it?

See..I COULD buy it in Canada or the US and have it shipped.

Assuming $1,200 cost (avg I can find on the net) I'd have to add shipping (probably $300-$400) and duty (@22.5%), I'm looking at about $2,000.

I have found a store here that sells them for $2,200.

If I buy it here and I have a problem with it...I can return it to the store.

If I try and save a few bucks and have a problem with the monitor I have to ship it to where I bought it...and back again.

this is where i got it, http://ws3.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=SHAR-LC26GA5E

sorry i thought it was the same by looking at it, i got a Sharp Aquos, slightly lower spec than that one. I have only seen ghosting once, i turned off the inbuilt movement compensator and it went away. It is simply awesome in AH.

If you want to run max resolution in games, sometimes you have to search on the internet to find out how to change them for certain games as basically it runs widescreen (very easy to do as a lot of people use LCD's these days)

I played Battlefront 2 with an edited resolution on my LCD and it looks simply stunning. You can run lower resolutions and it simply blackens off the sides of the screen which i prefer for surfing and everything.

BF blurs VERY slightly when you are spinning round, but it doesnt affect the gaming at all and i am now completely used to it - dont let this put you off though as it really is very slight.

I can honestly say i have not regretted paying out for the LCD ONCE since buying it - i love the thing, although that is not to say what is right for me is right for you.
