    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    Currently have a Denon AVR-X1000. The thing has died twice and is about to be replaced under warranty again. That said, it is a fantastic AV receiver when it is working, so I would welcome an upgrade!! This would pair with my LG OLED TV, Klipsch surround, and PS4 nicely :)

    Yep, was the WHDMI. It looks perfect after using an actual cable.

    Thanks schan. By hardware you mean a better video source?

    Will do. I need to buy a longer HDMI cable. I've only tried the wireless HDMI so far. I also have not received the ceiling mount yet, so it is running on a table. That said, the picture looks noticeably grainy especially compared to a LCD/LED TV (not a projector). It is definitely better...

    Whoops I'm an idiot... the projector is what came with it, doh!

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Hi again! Got everything in today... for some reason, I thought the X1000 came with a WHDMI piece. Maybe I dreamt that. At any rate, can anyone recommend a good WHDMI solution to plug into an existing receiver? Thanks!

    I wish! Much more fun than just moving the mount forward :)

    Hey again schan, You've been a huge help, so I hate to bother you further. You don't know of any extension arms that will move the projector towards the screen, do you? I'm having a hard time finding any... please don't spend a ton of time, just asking if you know off the top of your head...

    Yes it looks good. I'm reading some quality issues with 3D and frame interpolation when using the wireless HDMI, but I'm not a big 3D guy anyways :) Thank you for the help - I had forgotten about lens shift, great tip.

    BenQ1500 looks good... I will look for some extension arms for it. One last question - how high would it need to be mounted? I'm not quite sure how to figure that out yet.

    I'm assuming moving a mount 2' closer to the screen is fairly trivial. Just drill new holes, unscrew the old, move, and screw in - correct? If I move it 2' closer, what would be a good low cost choice? I can go over $1K if it is really worth it. I chatted with a Best Buy "expert" who...

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Thanks again everyone. A few more questions: 1. Will the W7000 or W1070 handle at 12' distance from the screen? 2. Is there a particular height above the screen the W7000 or W1070 needs to be, and will it work okay with zero ambient light and a 91" screen? 3. I'm also not seeing as...

    Just confirmed that I can do 15" above the screen. That said, is the W7000 still worth the extra money? I am not a videophile but will watch blue rays and play latest generation console games
