I am using a 6 month old Epson S5 with about 800 hours on it. Bought it used on Ebay for $300. Here is the issue as best as I can explain.
As an example, imagine that the screen is 10 foot by 6 foot. (it is not but easier with the math). The picture of the movie is on the entire 60 square feet. However, there is a lighter "rectangle" area that is say one foot from the left, one from the right, and 2 from the bottom. It can clearly be seen most of the time. I have a nice screen for this and the lighter "rectangle" moves with the projector - thus, a projector issue. BTW, probably about 100 - 105% on the zoom range. |

I just got an Epson Powerlite S5 projector. I have it pretty much solely to play XBOX. Now I know technically its a "work" projector but I'm using it at home. On the stat sheet it says that this projector is 720p "Ready"...whatever that means. There is no HDMI input on the back so my question is: Is there any way I could run an HDMI cable from my XBOX 360 to my projector and get 720p reception? Any sort of converter or something? Any and all help is appreciated. |

Hey everyone.I bought an Epson S5 to play pc games and watch movies.I know,not the best,but I got it on sale new for $475.00.
Anyway,I've noticed that with a black background(letterbox,dark scenes,projector menu)there is a slight(but noticable)light spot with a greenish hue on top left and bottom right corners of image.It's not my pc or cable.
My 14 day store return is up so now I'm dealing with "tech support".They told me to reseat the lamp.Didnt solve the problem.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal for a cheap lcd projector or does it have a serious problem?
Thanks in advance for you help. :-)
