I was only dreaming about the $192,00 LCD Projector... but we have the same opinion about the general NTSC/PAL quality of the LCD-based machines. On the other hand, the advantages of using the same machine for data as well as video projection by pushing one button outweigh the slightly inferior video quality. We have had 2 Sharp XG E1200Us (mounted under the ceiling) in my building in service for a year now - faculty and students use them all the time and like them very much. Otmar
