Want to buy a new projector.

Time to replace my Runco 710Lt.
It's 720p projector and has a color wheel.
I'm Thinking about the following so far.
1.Runco LightStyle LS5.
2.Runco LightStyle LS7.
3.JVC DLA-RS50U.
I like Runco. I had issues with my 710 and they stood behind thier product until I was satisfied, including a replacement unit 6 months later. I want to go 1080P.

The LS5 is 1080P and uses a color wheel and is in my price range.

The LS7 is 720P has 3 chips. I was told that 3 chip 720 is better than 1080P with a color wheel because the optics are better. The cost is over my budget but can be done.

Then there is the JVC. I know nothing about other than it is 1080P 3 chip and is in my price range.

Any help or suggestions?

Hi, I bought one of the last Pioneer Ellite Projectors before they were discontinued. It's a rebadged JVC, it's a killer projector, I had 2 sony's before and it's no contest.

I'd highly recommend checking them out before you make a final decision.

Congrats ! I am sure you'll love it!

I have a question on your sources. Do you like your meridian or oppo better for your projector? I got rid of my DVD player (Esoteric DV50) and I kind of miss it. Been doing Direct TV pay per view and the sound going via by DCS.

You maybe like both...Oppo for blu ray and Meridian for regular dvd. I've seen a few of the Meridians going for a very nice price used....

Thanks !
