What is a good quality projector? (1 Viewer)

[Robert_J]

My mount is a universal model from Premier Mounts - model PBL-UMW.


As I said earlier, I wanted one with lens shift - http://www.projectorpeople.com/resources/lens_shift.asp


That same site has a distance calculator. For example, a projector with a minimal zoom adjustment will have to move further back in the room to get a picture size that you want. I had a fixed location and needed a decent zoom. For the BenQ model you chose, you have to mount it between 9' 6" and 12' to get the 109" picture size to match with the screen you want from Amazon. The Epson 8345 can be mounted anywhere from 10' 6" to 22' 6" and still project your required 109" picture.


While that site has great tools to help you find the projector you need, rarely do they have the best price. Although that's where I got my Panasonic projector.

Hi, I've ordered a BENQ W1070 myself (I'll be installing in August).

It has an short enough throwdistance, and therefore good brightness.

The distance of the W1070 for a 109" screen is 9'1" to 11'10" (zoom range) you would sit at about 11' from the screen.

Consider that it will be more or less always above your head on a 109/120/135" screen.

Some rumour might be heard during quit scenes.

For the screen I've been adviced matt grey (0,8 gain) for good black and high contrast even in darker scenes.
