    Quickie: Which screen to match this projector in this room?

    I went Performance Series white. But I would encourage you to call SI and give them your specs. I found them to be very helpful!

    Sony BDP-S570 vs. LG BD-570: Which is better specifically for viewing DVDs?

    Headline says it all: Which will offer better quality for upscaling and viewing DVDs: Sony BDP-S570 or LG BD-570? That's my main criterion for buying, as I'll likely do DVDs for some time before doing Blu-rays. (Inevitably, someone will want to suggest yet another player, and I'm open to...

    Down to 2 choices: Help me decide?

    After much research, here are the two options for my home theater. Note I've got a 12' x 18' room with no windows, so I can view in complete darkness. 1. Epson 8350 with a Carada Brilliant White screen for a total cost of $1,950. or 2. Epson 8700 with a Screen Innovations Performance...

    Quickie: Bury cables in ceilings, or surface conduit? (in an already finished room)

    About to mount a projector in a finished basement that is turning into my media room, and getting mixed messages. Some people say that I should hire someone to open holes in the ceiling to thread the HDMI cable through the joists from the receiver at the front of the room to the projector (about...

    Thanks. I called Screen Innovations, and they confirmed that the Sensation level screen I was considering is a poor choice. Textured, like you wrote, losing all the benefits of HD. I can consider a higher level screen from Screen Innovations, running at just over $1000, but if someone has...

    Quickie: Which screen to match this projector in this room?

    We will be painting the walls chocolate brown. (Dark chocolate, always better!) Ceiling will probably be close to that color; maybe just a tinge lighter for contrast. But maybe the same. No openings to other rooms. Usually no ambient lighting. Dedicated room.

    Quickie: Which screen to match this projector in this room?

    Looks like I'm getting the Epson 8700 projector for a completely dark (no windows) 12' x 18' room. Looking at a 92" screen (or slightly larger, at most) from Screen Innovations. Will a "basic" Sensations series screen in matte white do the trick (running about $500), or should I invest more...

    Room-specific question re: DLP vs. front projector and screen

    I have a window-less 11-1/2' x 18' room that will be used primarily for home theater use. No games...mostly movies and occasional TV. I'm seeing the $1100 deal on the Mitsubishi WD-73C10 and wondering if I'll be happy with that, which will result in considerable savings compared to the Epson...
