This is the most important thing, that you have a decision you're happy with - congratulations on your purchase, and may you enjoy it for many, many years! In theory anything is up for consideration - it generally depends on the condition the used machine is in, and how it compares relative to...

All of that said, I know everyone’s heart is in the right place. I also know that having multiple threads tracking nearly the same subject can lead to confusion or people coming with perspectives that might have been discussed elsewhere. I think everyone is being very generous with their time...

I’m not at all discouraging it; I’m simply not recommending a $30,000 piece of hardware to someone with a $5000 budget. I’m also making note of a more recent post of his from one of his other threads where he stated that he didn’t wish to make 16x9 content smaller than 2.40:1 content; he asked...

I wish Nathan lived closer to us so that we could provide an in-home demonstration of the basics of home projection and how good setups at this price range look and sound to provide better context. Even though it would probably add money to his expenses to do so, for his own piece of mind, it...

I think this thread is drifting far off its originally intended topic of conversation, and that we’re doing a disservice to the original poster by getting into the weeds of the extremely small number of IMAX titles released yearly, $30,000 projectors, etc. From this and other related threads...

Yes. That’s why you then must use the zoom lens (whether manual or motorized) to adjust the image size to be small enough to fit within the height of the 2.40 screen, leaving the sides of the 2.40 screen blank for 16x9-shaped content. That’s the point I was trying to make in your other thread...

With respect, you are missing what everyone is trying to explain. The original poster is considering buying a 2.40:1 constant height screen. He is *not* asking about viewing a 2.40:1 movie on a 16x9 screen. The Sony’s lack of a motorized zoom and lens memory means that he will have to...
