Hi, I'm new to this forum and am trying to educate myself about projectors before spending a lot of money. A sales person at a reputable projector business, who seems to know what he is talking about, recommended this brand and model for my needs and budget. The projector is for a video art project and will project on sculptural material in a dark place. Noise is an issue, so will I need a relatively quiet rig. I would like to spend less than $1000.00. Since the Hitachi is pretty new, I have not found too many helpful reviews. Does anyone have any experience with this projector, or have any better suggestions? Thank you!
