I'm looking to burn some year end bonus cash and set up a theater room in my unfinished basement. The space that I am planning to use is 15' wide by at most 20' deep with around 7.5' for height (floor joists are a tad over 8', but want to play safe with acoustic ceiling tiles and flooring). Realistically, I am looking at approximately 11-13' for sitting distance and am trying to decide on a 110" or 120" screen. I am mostly favoring the BenQ HT1075 or HT1085ST. My concern is that from the calculators, the throw distance on the 1075 will be too close for the brightness as I will need to mount the projector from the ceiling around 9.5-10' from the screen otherwise it will be dropped around 18" due to ducting if I need to go further back. Even during the day, the basement is dark. I will be installing dimmable lights and blacking out the windows to control light. I'm discounting the w1070 and w1080st due to lack of vertical lens shift at this point (gently caress keystone). I'm also interested in the epsons, but would like to keep the 3D capability with lens shift and also be able to afford to finish my basement. Projectors are surprisingly hard. Edit: Forgot the whole question aspect. Am I an idiot or am I on the right path? What recommendations do you folks have for someone who will be buying a silver screen and projector from Amazon. Mounts included. The deeper I dive in projectors, the dumber I feel. Terminus Est fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jan 6, 2015 |

sethsez posted:The w1070 has vertical lens shift. They really need to clarify that in their literature as I could not distinguish if they meant keystone or true lens shift.
