    Folks... The Epson projector calculator tells me my Epson 5030UB projecting to a 120" screen needs to basically be in the center of the screen. This is a 4' drop for the most part... IS THIS RIGHT? All other projectors I have used I was able to mount the projector near the height of the top of...

    Hi, I have a BenQ W600+ which puts out about 636 Lumens at its lowest brightness and calibrated, and I'm currently projecting on a light grey wall. I wanted if anybody would have any experience with going with a simple dark grey paint for a projector in this class and how dark they went to get...

    Model is Epson 705HD 720p. It down scales the incoming 1080p cable box pretty well and live sports are crystal clear. Someone mentioned on a different forum, not HT related, that it may not be worth it to get a Blu Ray player if the PJ is 720 native. Blu Ray is the only thing I really know...

    I have wanted to set up a screen and projector for sometime but cannot make myself pull the plug because I am afraid of choosing the wrong projector. Plus, I am not an expert and not sure of what I am doing. The projector will... 1) Go in a family room that has a white ceiling and 10 foot...

    I have 184" diagonal (160" wide with 10' tall ceilings) wall that I can put my screen on. Obviously, if I could go this big, everyone else would so this must be wrought with issues. What I want to balance is the screen size with the actual ability to see a good quality picture (on a scale of...

    Whenever I shoot a solid white image, I'm now noticing a faint redish splotch on the lower left corner now. The projector is an Acer 7531D. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be? I was thinking maybe it needs to be cleaned(PJ is a year old, 457 hours) are there any good resources on cleaning...

    First of all, thanks you guys on here for recommending the paint for my PJ screen. I have my epson 8350 mounted on the ceiling but my power cord can't reach the closest electrical outlet and I want to know if I can use an extension. Also, with all this new receivers that's out with hdmi...
  9. Computers | HTPC | Media Servers
    This is the deal breaker for me. I need to be able to use the projector as a PC monitor. My big concern is with the scaler. I need the screen real estate that 1080 provides, but I want a clear, non flickering display. If anyone could ease my concerns by their experience running a PC in 1080P...

    Ok.. this didn't seem to fit under PJ Topic area or Screen topic area exclusively... so here goes. Equipment: Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080 UB & Elite Cinenatension 2 106" diag. Options for controlling screen are via IR/RF or via 12V trigger (as in projector trigger out). I have only dug...

  13. General Screen Discussion
    This topic started in another thread, but it was a bit off-topic there so I'm starting this one. In the other thread I said "Perhaps Texas Instruments is simplifying the matter too much, but their explanation of how a single-chip DLP projector works ( http://www.dlp.com/tech/what.aspx ) says...

    I'll let you guess what came in this box.... I have to set it up on a ladder for the time being, just to decide on a screen size, then I'll ceiling mount it and build a proper screen. I'll be posting a few times tonight as I progress through this. All I have to upload pics from is my...
