New Solus-what projector?

[GAR62]

Hi to all
I just ordered a printer and would like to know the consensus on what is the best projector, the Vivitek or the Infocus, considering quality and ease of maintenance?

If you're in the USA, then Infocus would be the good choice. 2 year manufacturer warranty and 6 months on the bulb.

I just ordered a printer too, and I am not in the USA and other factors like the print quality has the priority for me, what is the different of these projector to each other? (excluding warranty and support)

P.S. I have a Macbook Pro, and I think requiring mini DVI converter to connect projector to laptop. So I have 2 option miniDVI->VGA or miniDVI->HDMI ! what recommended?

Hi Koshi,

Just sent you an email.

I'm sorry but CW doesn't run smoothly on Macs.

Just bought the new Vivitek H1186-WT projector.

50,000:1 contrast ratio should make for some sharp growings.

Best Buy and Fry's had it down to $500.00 on Black Friday Sales.

List is now $699.000

Amazon discounts from 8 to 10% off.

Thanks "jewel tool" for your kindly reply
I checked for H1186-HT and only find "H1186-WT"! However it have 50,000:1 contrast ratio vs 15,000:1 of H1185HD and 10,000:1 of IN8606HD
Brightness of H1186 is 2000 Lumens But Brightness of H1185HD and IN8606HD has 2500 Lumens, what you think about Brightness?

I think higher contrast in projector cause darker black, and I know the resin harden by light and if leaking light in black area, it's not good!
but in this case it is very low vs ambient light in room! So, what you think about print quality? Brighter image or darker black cause better print?

PS: I haven't a experience of making 3D printer
(maybe lens quality more important!!!)

I would vote for the sharper image since the projector is often used in the Eco mode and not at full power.

The WT stands for white color of the projector in the model number.

We have tested this projector and it works really nicely. The lumens don't matter as much. It's all about the bulb wattage. They both have about the same wattage.
