| Most ideal 720P FP for my theater/living room? Details given.
I'll list some details to help the knowledgeable make some reccomendations.
1. Room recieves a little ambient sun light during the day...can be cut down almost completely if needed.
2. Weekdays - night viewing only.
3. Weekends - sports throughout day and night.
4. Must be mounted on coffee table or AV rack(vaulted ceilings that go way high)
5. SD picture is not of much concern at all....as I watch DVD's & HD programming 90%+ of the viewing time.
6. 1100 lumens...saw a FP with this and it is a little too dim....so 1200+ lumens
7. Budget -- $1600 for projector
8. Seating -- ~12' from wall
9. Lens will be between 8' and 9' from screen depending on where i want it.
Questions:
1. How much difference does the type of viewing material make?(different quality screens as well as DIY ones)
2. How much difference does HDMI make for FP's over component?(same as flat panel tv's?)
3. I was told that the smaller the screen(image throw) the better all projectors look, so a projector that can do 100"+ would look better on a 92" or 84" screen....is this true?
4. Do I want/need/situation warrants a CRT or LCD or DLP?
5. How big do I want to go - IYO - with a 12' viewing distance whild saving as much PQ as possible?
