Anyone upgrade from the H31 to HD70? I'd like to hear your comparisons. Is the upgrade justified? How is light output compared to the h31?Thanks in advance

Hi CSC. I have the same question, I am about to upgrade to a DH70 from an H31. Did you ever get a reply on the comparison? Or did you buy the HD70 and found out yourself?

Just to let you know. The light pattern really sucks with the black bezel. I retrofitted a pair of HID projecters from the retrofit source.com huge diff.

The H70 cools better, but it also is noisier. For most people the H50 is still the best choice.

I think that many of us (Me!) would love to hear what others feel about Mr. Timofei's statement that the S700 has "CD Direct" which makes "a huge difference in the sound." If that's so,...I certainly want a 700 rather than a 500 or a 300. How do you 300 and 500 owners feel?!

Have you received and tested out the M400? I'm also in the same boat--weighing the manual features of the S200 vs. the (possibly better?) video quality of the M400. I've scoured the net for initial reactions to the video performance of the HF M4 series and haven't found any as of yet. So, when you do test it out, please let us know your thoughts. Thanks!

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

What are you using it for? I love my HD66, had for almost 2 years. I have no 3-D adapter (wife get's sick) so for Blue ray movies (Awesome), PS3, Wii all connected through HDMI perfect for me. Works with light leaks in my living room on sunny days. I have also taken outside for "drive in" movie night;) I did lots of reviews and worth the money.

I cannot compare as I do not own both. But I do have the View Sonic and the LG, and both displays have excellent color accuracy when delivered and used on the DVI port using native resolution. The big rub is that the as delivered brightness is so high as to cause significant eye strain if used more than 1 1/2 hours. If you reduce the brightness, you will not get the advertised Dynamic Contrast Ratio. In addition the as delivered brightness causes a non acceptable light bleed around 1 or more edges. All of the above are to be expected on these LED backlit, IPS, WQHD displays, and getting one acceptable to you is a matter of luck and original engineering design tradeoffs. These displays are at least 2 or 3 times better than the old 1920 x 1080 displays. Good Luck.

forget about this. If you realy want high effencency go HID. You dont have to pay a lot. The cheapest one worth high price tag. I've tried both.

The picture and brightess seem excellent to me. In a dark room when I turn it on it seems really bright for a few seconds .??Is this backlight bleedthrough? Black seems very black. The built in speakers are not adequate and if you do any music or sound for that matter, use auxiliary speakers for sure.

I haven't seen the BenQ W1070, but from what I've heard they sound similar in many ways, each with their pros and cons. I should add her that I just bought a BenQ 7000. If you have the cash I would highly recommend going that route. If not then I'm sure you'll be very happy with the HD33. I have been.

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

I watched the cnet video review for the plasma 8000 and its said the 3D was better then the LED version, becuase there was NO ghosting effect.

The H2 also has higher ISO's and I think an improved ISO 400. That could make a big difference when shooting in low light.

Is that even useful? 37" seems like a really nice size (I'd love something bigger than 32", but 40" seems like it's pushing it). Really I'd *LOVE* an LED backlight and would pay for it, but since those seem to be virtually nonexistant at the moment in these sizes, Sony's best 37" seems like a nice choice.

There is a hf1 edition with red leds. you can always change the fans or add lighting if you don't like blue.

Increase the backlight of the plasma if you want to compare them at similar levels of brightness. Consider what you will be watching (b750 handles standard definition DVD's and programing better), is sharper, and can be brighter for well lit rooms whereas the plasma will have more natural flow of high speed motion, better blacks when your lights are down, and "picture quality". Really, I find that "picture quality" is "signal quality" of the program you are watching and how well your machine can display it. LCD's have less blurring than before, plasmas have less burn in and ghosting, and to be dead honest with you- most of us are not videophiles and will not see the difference. I bought the b750 on sale and its very good and playing high definition and standard definition. I am particularly happy with it because most things I watch are NOT blue ray and the TV does an overall good job handling that media. It also looks nice which is a plus. Best of luck...
