Price Paid:  $10000.00 from Pa.

Summary:
At the time, The vx-101 was awesome. I unfortunately experienced many problems with this unit. It and the processor have been replaced over 10 times, yes, wow! I was one of the 1st to receive the vx-101 and saw many of the gliches. The place I purchased the product through was incredible. Service could not been better! Where do I stand now, 02/04, well the vx-101 is being replaced with the CL-510 which I know nothing about so wish me luck.

Strengths:
Great Picture!

Weaknesses:
Loud Fan, light around the picture screen

Price Paid:  $16000.00

Summary:
I have enjoyed the vx 101HD very much, I think it has a fantastic picture in HDTV and the dvd picture is good as well. The fan noise is not a problem, I have it mounted 8 feet ahead of my couch on a 9 foot cieling. I view a 120in firehawk screen from around 22 feet away.

Strengths:
nice color and very clear picture, nice black levels

Weaknesses:
should have more inputs, a little brighter

Price Paid:  $8000.00

Summary:
Excellent picture sharpness. Brightness mediocre, but probably appropriate for ratings. First unit was defective and required replacement. I purchased after reading early reviews, and now suspect I may have been just as happy with other DLP projectors at half the price.

Strengths:
Sharp picture. Good blacks.

Weaknesses:
Often has trouble when starting up. It will lose the signal (composite) and need to be reset from the menu. No one can seem to understand why this happens. Not a huge problem, but annoying. Controller has annoying hum. Must be turned on when signal is present. If you turn on the controller before the signal (VCR, DVD) it hangs up and must be reset. Similarly, must be shut down first before signal is turned off. Not a big problem once you get used to it, but at $8K you would think this wouldn''t happen.

Summary:
I purchased the Vx-101c as part of a whole system and had it set up with the $2500 Anamorphic lens option, which is supposed (among other things) to give a grighter picture (20%)and the HDTV plus option $1800 which is supposed to (among other things) feed through and scale etc, 1080i 720p etc to the projector instead of just using the "pass though" option. I am told that this projector will display TRUE HDTV, true or not (Runco themselves says yes, with the option) the HDTV on dish network (at 110" 16x9) is very clear and well defined, colors are well balanced, there is a SLIGHT keystone error with my projector, but not very bad at all, DVD'S look fantastic too. Dare I say that even videotape, doesen't look that bad either, I mean it's not great, but I think that the VHD controler does a good job of making a composite image look good on big screen. Would I buy the same one again? Maybe not. Do I think it's worth the price? Maybe not. Does it do what I wanted it to do? YES. Just make sure you don't let the fan noise issue go, If they won't help out call Runco.

Strengths:
Very good picture quality,flexable connections,good price.

Weaknesses:
Fan can be loud, BUT Installer (as in my case) can dampen the cabinet
and make it less of an issue. The first projector intalled was defective and then the second was great
untill it started making alot of noise, the installer had to take it out and said he found a "shield" inside the projector that was vibrating, once he tightened it
the unit was quiet again.
