If you heard rumbling last summer, it may have been the collective applause from loyal fans of sister brands Anthem and Paradigm. In July 2009, the Canadian manufacturer announced its first front projectors, the LTX 300 and LTX 500, under the Anthem logo, thereby creating a one-stop theater shop: Paradigm surround-sound speakers, Anthem amplification and processing, and Anthem projection. Anthem has since added a Blu-ray player and A/V receivers.

The first thing to note from the LTX 300v projector, updated earlier this year, is that the unit will undoubtedly generate comparisons to acclaimed projectors from JVC, from which it has been rebadged. The projectors use Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) light engine technology. (JVC’s is known as D-ILA.) And in this case, such comparison is a good thing, as JVC’s images are among the best, especially for the value bucks.

Second, it takes very little time to install the LTX 300v. I dove right in without leafing through the manual. Using the remote to operate the motorized lens, it took less than five minutes to scale, shift and focus the image on my 92-inch Elite Screens EZ-Frame display. You can do this with or without an image on the screen, as the latter option gives you a green laser-like grid and frame to match to your screen, and you can use the remote’s up/down arrows until the word “focus” comes into clearest view.

Then calibrate till you’re cross-eyed. Working through the menu brings the usual video adjustments such as basic sharpness, contrast and brightness, as well videophile tweaks like gamma correction and individual color management, which can both be saved for up to three presets. The included remote makes life very easy, and even features a button to back-light itself, which comes in handy when the theater lights are down….
