Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


I am wondering which projectors (especially budget 720p models, if any) have the built-in vertical stretch feature, for doing CIH with a lens models from HTB or Aussiemorphic ?

Thanks !

John

Re: Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


John,

The three Brands that I would recommend that have VS are..

Optoma.
BENQ.
Sony.

I think most if not all models in those brands have VS..

Re: Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


I would add the Panasonic also. But you don't want to chose a projector based on VS only. Ready reviews!

Re: Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


To get VS you have to spend $200-$300 more. Read review on Amazon for Mit HC1500 by some theather company

Re: Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


How can you get VS with 200-300 $? Pls elaborate.

if you are talkign about 2:35:1 screen then search for Diy Anamorphic lens on the web. If you are not talking about that then I misunderstand your question. Sorry

Re: Projectors with built-in Vert Stretch ?


VS is VS. The image is scaled (streched vertically) in order to then accomodate an anamorphic lens.
There are 3 common ways to obtain VS:
1- DVD player
2- Projector
3- Video processor

I believe you confused a lens with VS, and I believe you meant 200-300$ for a DIY lens .
