Some weeks ago i went into a local tv/ home cinema shop with a view to buying a sound bar. I walked out with nothing due to their rubbish demo ability and dense sales person.
I am now looking to buy a projector having narrowed it down to two models. The above mentioned shop stocked one. After my last experience i rang to arrange a demo.
They started off with a projector more than three times the price of the one I was interested in depite saying I didn't want to see that model. Not a real problem as at least I could compare. When it came to the model I was after, they had it badly set up with the picture overlapping the screen. There was also quite a bit if light pollution. Even so, it was sufficient for swmbo to see some merit in my lastest 'waste of money'
The projector an Optoma HD25 also has 3d. This is not something which we would use often but it is fun on occasion. We asked for a 3d demo. They couldn't do this because they didn't have any 3d glasses for the Optoma. I pointed out that one comes with the projector which drew blank looks. They did not even sell them.
At the beginning my wife asked how big the projector screen they were using for demo. 100 inches we were told. After the demo I asked how much a 100 inch screen would cost. ' we only sell up to 73 inch screens' was the reply.
Why go to a store when the last time they were crap? There are very few places that stock and can demo a projector locally enough that I can access and that swmbo is willing to grace my presence.
