I am looking to purchase the ViewSonic PJ559D DLP PROJECTOR HOME THEATER but I am not sure if I should.?
I’m going to use it to replace my TV and to watch DVD’s hopefully in HD with this projector but I just do not know if it is good or not. I am completely new so please help me out here. More detail the better. I am planning on using it in my bedroom with the projector about 9′6” away from a screen.
The Viewsonic PJ559D is capable of compressing 1080i images into 720 lpi format and is therefore not a true “1080″ HD projector. Standard 480 lpi DVDs will in turn, be upscaled to 720 format and the movie image will look very smooth. Regarding the image projected at a distance of 9′6″ away from the screen, the final measured image is about 65 inches diagonally. Is there any way to project to a farther distant wall in order to end up with a larger overall screen image?
By the way, the ViewSonic PJ559D comes with a 4X speed color wheel, a built-in 2X5 speaker and a high quality Faroujda deinterlacer that handles broadcast video transmissions to remove jaggies.
Good luck!
