Very interesting! Do you mind telling us where in Glorietta?
Are they giving out demos?
Thanks

Comments.
The 1000 lumens would be enough for a  dedicated  room for hometheater with very controlled ambient light (in short, very dark room).
The contrast is not high enough, unlike the DLP's. Blacks may be really be dark grays in dark scenes. Maybe not too big an issue as I see so many people watching films with wrong contrast and brightness settings anyway.
The 16:9 native is the way to go for hometheater. No upscaling or downscaling when viewing DVD. Better lumen utilization and of course 90% or so of DVD's now is 16:9.  Projectors are not for TV (4:3) viewing.
The 1.5 zoom is very useful. I would use this to switch to 4:3 material by zooming so the black bars are on the sides. Same screen, same projector position.
Component inputs, must for me.
Video processor - not an issue if you have a good progressive scan DVD player with a better video processor. The one of the player can be be used.
My 2 cents worth.

Still eyeing the Infocus 4805(16:9)DLP though. Or at the least the BenQ 6100(4:3)DLP.

would an epson tw10 for 50k be a good buy or should I go for a sanyo plv-z3 witha free replacement lamp and screen? Then there's the InFocus to consider ah choices choices....

Sir dracula, is 50K the current bnew price of the epson tw10? San po ito? I'm canvassing (or dreaming, depende sa profit share hehe) of getting an entry-level pj soon, and I'm seriously considering this one. Thanks!

Not Familiar with the cost back home but here in the UK this is the price for it on the various internet shops.  Maybe they're about to launch a new line?

Check out the new Optoma DV 10. This should be the best entry level projector in the market today.

Kala ko sir dracula dito din kayo. My bad. 

What got my interest into this model is that the price of the TMP-S1H, their multi-purpose entry-level model, has gone down to P39,998, so I was hoping na baka TW10 ganun na rin.
