LG PA70G (1280x800) LED Portable Projector $399 + Free shipping (expired)

Any good for gaming?

got one, thanks. best price yet for shipping!

I picked one up in store a week ago. I found out how to make it do 120Hz 3d in 1280x720 over VGA. Unfortunately nVidia stopped supporting generic CRT in their newest 3d stereoscopic drivers, so you have to use an older version.

nice! good thing i hold off on getting the dimmer Dell LED projector last week. The extra 300 lumens is well worth the extra $50.

Thanks I was waiting for FS

Thanks, I was waiting for this too! Glad I didn't go off and bought the other LG projector. Thanks OP!

$50 less than when it went FP a few months ago.

Shippings not showing up as free for me? Any ideas? Nevermind I'm a dumbo I had another order in there already...Thanks OP just what I was looking for. Black Friday be damned

Acer is FAR better

They are 2 totally different PJ's.
The 70g is LED with 30,000 hours on unit and no bulb change. or extra costs.
The acer is DLP and between 3,000-4,000 hours on bulb... with 200 bulb cost.

They are about the same price on sale 350 and 399. 50 dollar difference.

The acer is only 1 year warranty, but the 70g is 2 year warranty.

They are both 3d ready.

They are both 720p.

With the LED you can turn it on and off any time and watch as many hours as you like. With DLP everytime you turn on bulb you use 4 hours of bulb hours. So say you used it for 2 hours and turned it off, you actually used 4 hours. And you don't turn it on and off any time you want.

The acer will be brighter and better for rooms with more lights on in room, they should BOTH be good in dark rooms.

It's not clear cut which is better. I rather have 2 year warranty and 30,000 hours of the LED, and to be able to turn it on and off anytime, for tv shows.

It will be good to hear how other people compare the 2 models.

i'm curious to learn about the details of that statement. However, LED was the reason I jumped on this. I also wonder, however, if those older style projectors such as the aforementioned Acer couldn't be converted within reasonable budget with a LED light source in the future. Hmm.

While I've never heard the 4hr usage statement and I've owned a LOT of DLP devices (on my 4th dlp projector and my 6yr old refurb Samsung DLP HDTV is still going on original bulb), you do have to take it easy with DLP on shutdown and allowing ample time to cool down as well as not doing frequent turn on/off in short time.

THAT SAID, if you plan to do lots of 3D, get the brightest one you can get because even the Acer (I have it now) is just adequate for 3D as brightness get cut-down with 3D glasses. If you just do mostly 2D hd stuff, get the LED.
