    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 :)

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

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

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

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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...

    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!

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

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

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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...

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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.

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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.

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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...

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    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

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Ah, for some reason I was reading 122fl as 122" :) This is new ground to me, so I appreciate everyone's help. How can I measure that by looking at the specs? Also, is the Pro8200 a decent projector? Last question - are home projectors relatively easy to install? I have fiddled with the...

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Thanks schan... please excuse my newbiness, but how did you know the BenQ has too large an image? It looks like on the search page that it came back as a valid fit.

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Awesome, thanks for the help. Out of the two lists, I'm curious if it is worth spending up for the BenQ MH740? Or would anyone recommend projectors from the list of under $1K?

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Thanks... my screen size is 97" (about 91" is the actual viewing part of the screen, the rest is the frame). The projector sits 12 - 12.5' back from the screen. Does that help answer #1? In terms of the wireless HDMI, I know I can buy devices that would do it for about $200 or so. It would...

    Upgrading Projector and Possibly Receiver

    Hi all, We have an older projector (7+ years old) that came with the house we live in when we bought it. The bulb has just burned out for the second time, and, instead of doling out $100 - $130 for a replacement, I'm deciding to look at upgrading our projector to a device that supports HD...
