I'm all into home audio, but don't know squat about projectors.....If anyone can offer me some help with a few questions I'd appreciate it.
I have a 15x25 room that is quite dark. The far end has a patio door, but the room is too dark to read in during the day w/out having a light on. The seating area would be approx. 12 feet from the wall the screen would be on.
I was wondering...What is the LEAST amount of money I would likely need to spend in order to pick up an entry level projector for DVDs and HDTV, screen, cables, and whatever else I would need. I currently have a 51" Hitachi Ultravision widescreen RPTV.....would a front projector be an upgrade in pic quality? Can the projector be about three feet to the right of center and still project a cohesive image? Or would it have to project from the center of the screen?
Lastly, I was thinking of giving the RPTV to my folks, and then picking up like a 36" set for tv watching, with the projector screen on the wall behind and above it for movies and HDTV sporting events. Is this feasible?
Thanks in advance!
