Author Topic: question-torture testing projection equipment Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 05-11-2001 10:37 AM                     I have heard how yukky the quality of the Christie P35GP projectors are. I think projection equipment manufacturers&projectionists should torture test the equipment to find out the quality &performance of the equipment even under normal use&conditions even before it leaves the factory.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 05-11-2001 11:26 PM                     It seems that with the number of things that fail shortly after being put to use, very few products are tested at all. Much of it appears to have been designed, operated once and if it worked at all put into production. Crap made in China seems to be worst, why do we give most favored nation status to a country that sends such poorly made shit?  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 05-12-2001 12:31 AM                     Actually, most of that "crap" made in China is actually designed in the USA, including how it is to be assemblied. American companies that decide to pay as little as possible are mostly the ones to blame. If someone wants to pay more to China (or anyone else) they will do a better job. I find the reject rate of China-assembied items quite low. I'm not to happy about their human-rights stance, but they do good work.  |  IP: Logged
