Hey guys, hope you're all doing well. I wanted to let you know how it's been going with our new LS12000 which we've had for about 2 weeks now. I'll post a more detailed description later in the other thread I started about CIH vs CIW...to go over our "real-world" results and experiences while...

I'm onboard with what you're saying! However, I pulled the trigger last week on a new Epson LS12000, which will be here in a few days. "Having said that" (quote from Curb Your Enthusiasm)...I see the value in exploring and considering a Barco for my next projector (in my case, probably a used...

BTW, thank you, Robert...for your patience with all my questions, I do appreciate it! In the above scenario you mentioned, if the 5000ES were set up on a scope screen (to fill up a 2.40 screen when playing 2.40 AR content)...and if you then changed the content and played something in...

I wish you would have mentioned that the lack of motorized zoom and lens memory means you can't really use the Sony XW5000ES with a 2.40:1 screen system. Going with a cinema scope screen size was the first (& easiest) decision(s) we made for our home theater. I didn't realize that this would...

Thank you for your answers, I appreciate it! Since your sale ends tomorrow, I hope you won't mind if I follow up with a few more questions. In the last few hours I've been re-educating myself and comparing the LS12000 with the XW5000ES (and also reading up on the JVC NP5 for good measure). I'm...

I know this is a newbie question, but oes the Sony XW5000ES have motorized lenses, or lens memory? I can't seem to find that information. If not, how do you work around adjusting for different ARs when switching content? Thanks, Nathan

Thank you for the answer. So, in your opinion, are any of those options (Sony VPL-XW5000ES, JVC's NP5, NZ7, NZ8, NZ9) a better choice than the Epson LS12000? (And the sale through Sunday...are those found on any retailer's website?) Nathan

It's been a while since my last post... was about to buy the Epson LS12000, 3 months ago, but the seller I was going to buy from ran out of stock. Then a few setbacks put my home theater project on the back burner. But I'm now ready to get back to work...and start buying the first piece of our...

I will be getting the AVR right after I buy the projector. Then I'll work on the speakers...and treating the room and placing things (speaker placement, velvet panels on the walls and ceiling and things like that). I'm waiting for any final comments or suggestions on the projector and if there...

I've nearly settled on the Epson LS12000. If anybody has another projector for me to consider, I'd appreciate hearing from you! I'm quite interested in an Anamorphic lens for the added light and picture quality since I'll be projecting onto a big screen. Are there any options other than the...

Something else I've been meaning to ask is about the importance of having dark walls (and ceiling). I've noticed in the theaters I've been to lately that they don't all have black walls, I see a lot of checkered walls and reds, blues, etc. Further, I wonder if it's most important to have the...

Hey guys, it's been a while. I had some real-life events keeping me away from working on our HT setup over the last few months...and wasn't able to keep up with this thread, but I'm back now and will pick up where I left off. Something I didn't get around to sharing earlier was that while at...

Thank you so much to everybody who has chimed in on this thread since my last post, I really appreciate it! Apologies for the controversy regarding the projector I mentioned (that was available for sale)...if I could do it over again I would have tried wording it differently. On the flip side, I...

I was recently offered to buy a used Epson 6050UB for $2,500 plus shipping. If anyone has an opinion on this projector, I'd appreciate hearing, thank you! (I know this is a newbie question, but when the specs (of the 6050UB) say "Projector Resolution: 4K", but also say "Native Resolution...

I hear what you're saying...and I'm sure you're right...as far as the end result being less than ideal. However, for the past 20 years, we've had our living room TV(s) in the same spot...and for about 18 years we've been running all the audio from those TVs on a $39 5.1 surround speaker setup I...

Sure, well, during the daytime when our living room is just...a living room, we could leave our existing TV that is already setup (which is how we've watched movies in this space for the last 20 years). Since I recently (prematurely) bought the Klipsch Reference Home Theater Pack, I could...

I'm not really sure, but for now let's say $3,000'ish MSRP. I'll probably be shopping used/refurbished to try and save a bit. I think yes, to zoom-based CIH and not an anamorphic option. Bright projector...yes. And I'm perfectly happy going with external speakers (which I haven't bought...

I’d really appreciate some counsel on projectors. I’m looking to turn the majority of our far living room wall into a projector screen. The more I think about it—and the longer I sit in the space we have to work with—the more it makes sense that the starting point for this project should be to...
