Posted this on another thread but I don't expect a response as the thread seems to be inactive. All apologies for posting multiple times. Would love some advice on a BW Ultra application for my stage setup. Essentially it's a custom 3D mapping sculpture that I designed and built myself, with...

All, As I was wrapping up my list of components for my new home theater (to be built as part of a 1900 sq ft basement finish), a fellow HT enthusiast asked why I was getting the Panasonic 65" ST60 over a projector. My honest answer is,"I don't know. I never really considered a projection...

I jumped the gun and started buying equipment for my dedicated basement theater room. The technical info about projectors and screens makes my head spin. Hopefully by giving my room size and my projector and screen info someone can tell me if they are compatible and make any recommendations...
