Hi fellas
I'm considering buying the panasonic PT-AE500U / PT-L500 and mounting it to the ceiling.
I'm looking at a 5 ft high screen starting 3 1/2 ft from the ground to a total height of 8 1/2 ft.
Since the top of the PJ'ed image will be approx 4 inches *above* the center of the lense, I would therefore have to mount this puppy ROUGHLY 8'2" from the ground.
Problem: I have 10 1/2 ft ceilings, and this would mean a 2 ft drop from the ceiling. This will no doubt anger the G.F. - she does not want a 2 ft antenna hanging from the ceiling.
It looks like I can:
1 ) put the screen higher up - but is this now TOO high for a typical seated (4' eye level) person?
2 ) use a shorter mount and tilt it down/ use digital keystone - It sounds like I should avoid this...
3) somehow disguise the 2 ft eyesore?
I'm looking for advice / tips on how to do each of these methods.
Thanks!
