WOW !!! i didn't know that such useful website existed. Thank you all for your inputs. André

With all due respect, i know that every projector offers different "screen distance vs size". What i want to know is: Does CRT projectors requires less distance than other kinds of projector to project at the same screen size ? Thank you.

Hmmm, in fact, i based my question on this: sorry, but that was the only way for me to post this url since i don't have 15 posts yet (just remove the spaces in the following url): h t t p : // w w w . rfowkes . com / html / theroom . html which clearly states that he got the same...

I was wondering, Currently I get an 85" screen size (horizontal) with an old CRT projector at a distance of 7'6". With today's projector, for example DLPs, do i have to put the projector at a much more longer distance to get the same screen size ? I asked because, i'm re-modeling and...

FINAL RESULTS: The dvd is now hooked directly into the projector and i'm very happy to say that the problem do not come from my Denon amp. It seems that the incompatibility problem was with my old projector after all because the macrovision problem is there as well without using the amp...

I manage to test the S-Video output. Ok, for those of you who are still reading, i finally find a way to test something else than my composite video output. Since my projector could not accept such a plug, i bought a S-video to RCA wire. I didn't know these things even existed. Now i...

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but for me a "budget limit" is around 10K, 30K is a little too much. :-)

yiarrrr, thank you for your opinion, i'll stick to the DLP. ;-)

Yes but if budget is not important, only picture quality, i better go with digital, right ? p.s. My projector is a Zenith but i'm at work right now and i can't remember the model. André

Ok, that gives me a new light on this mystery. So that "longevity" will be hard to top if i want a DLP as my next projector. Am i right in wanting a DLP, i want a projector which can project on the screen a picture as close as possible in quality as a regular CRT tv set. In my mind, beside...

Wow !!! I didn't know that, mine was just "sitting" on the ceiling for all those years, with no special treatments (beside the re-alignment of 99). Is it the same situation for the the lamp in a DLP ? Thanks a lot.

I still use an old 1991 crt projector (3 lamps). I bought this in very used condition in june 1999. At the time the projector needed some big tuneups to get rid of it's linearity and blurry pictures problems, so that's why i paid only 500$ for it. Anyway it seem to be on it's last miles for a...

Thanks but as i mentionned, this particular input is exactly like an ordinary composite yellow input (RCA). Here are the 3 series of inputs that this projector has: VCR INPUT 1 -> RCA (yellow red and white) VCR INPUT 2 -> RCA (yellow red and white) Y/C INPUT -> RCA (yellow red and white)...

Well, actually, when it's through a vcr it's much worst than this, the picture lost completely it's stability and the picture become black and white and then goes back to normal, but we all know what this macrovision does. That is not the case here, it's some kind of residues from the...

No, i turn the progressive scan on and then off again with no effects. André

Hmmm, i have an old 1991 Zenith 3-lens projector that i use as my home theater screen right now. It does have what's identified as Y/C video input but i doubt that these are the right input to test the Y-R-B especially since they are like the other av inputs on this projector, yellow, white and...

Hello everybody, this is my first post. I just bought the Sony DVD/VHS combo SLVD550P. I'm using the good old composite yellow output for my picture, not the Y-R-B outputs. When i'm plugging the player directly into the composite input of the tv set, no problem, but when i'm connecting...
