![]() There are a few little things I like about it: for example, there is a separate on and off button on the remote instead of just one power button. It powers on and starts to display your image almost instantly. The Epson is better in just about every way over my almost 4 year old Sony. It would have been a major pain in the butt if I would have had to relocate the mounting hardware in the ceiling. The lens will shift up/down and left/right so that even if your mounting location is not dead on, you have some wiggle room (which worked out great for me!) This way I didn’t have to move the mounting bracket since the Sony’s lens is centered and the Epson lens is off to one side. There is also a "Pattern" button on the remote that allows you to throw up a pattern on the screen to make sure you have it aligned properly. So I sat right under it and just reached up and adjusted it until I was happy. The Epson relies on a manual focus and zoom ring. The Sony VPL-HS20 has a power zoom and focus. It wasn’t like I looked at it and said, "well it’s a little too green or it’s a little to contrasty." It was dead on right out of the box. Although they (Epson) offer a ton of different configurations for getting just the right color and picture, the defaults produced STUNNING image! Yes, I might go back and play with the settings to compare, but out of the box I was blown away by the picture quality. I used the same universal mounting bracket that I had used with my Sony projector and I ran a new HDMI cable to replace the DVI and Component cables I was using with the Sony. That way I’d have time to set it up and enjoy it before going back to work and back on the road. I ordered it so that it would arrive in time for the weekend. So that pushed me to order it now instead of waiting. ![]() However, I noticed that B&H Photo and Video had it and also alerted me to the current $200 rebate that is in effect until 3/31/08. My mind was made up! I figured I’d get it in the next few weeks when my schedule settled down a bit. They had not only reviewed the pro version of this projector, but they gave it their highest honor of Editor’s Choice! That’s all I needed to hear. I also turned to once again to see what they had to say. I’ve always been a fan of Epson projectors for data/business presentations, so it didn’t take much convincing to look into Epson to replace my Sony. I started asking around and my colleagues at Adobe (Kevan O’Brien and Dave Helmly) were both quite impressed with the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 UB projector. However, my cravings for "higher Def" lead me to want to experience Blu-ray at its best which meant that it was time to upgrade from 1080i (interlace) to a true 1080p (progressive) projector. So it was a done deal and I’ve enjoyed that projector for the past 3+ years. My friends were telling me this one was the one to get and the good folks over at had this GREAT REVIEW. ![]() I settled on the Sony Cineza VPL-HS20 1080i HD Projector. At one point it was almost impossible to walk from one end of the room to the other, because of the amount of crap that was in the way.Īt the time I spec’d out the latest and greatest sound and video gear. This room used to be the catch all for empty boxes, discarded computer equipment, my web and file servers as well as the place that old papers and software seemed to go to die. You can find out how to avoid them below.In October of 2004 I decided to convert a storage/server room in my home into a home theater.
