We just got a Panasonic PT-AE900U projector as our "family" gift this Christmas. We used it last night for the first time using a 119" dia. DIY screen and were stunned by the picture quality.
Questions:
1) We currently have the projector 24' from the screen on a desktop. If I move the projector closer to the screen and readjust (desktop or ceiling) would this improve the brightness even more and reduce the wear on the lamp. We had the lamp setting on "high" last night, but the manual suggests the "low" setting for narrow rooms. Our room is narrow (10') X 24' long.
2) Would it hurt by hooking a Playstation video game up to it? I had read images sometimes could burn in and harm the projector.
3) Should I always turn off the projector not only with the power button, but also using the main power rocker switch on the back of the unit? Or is it recommended that the main power switch remain on? If ceiling mounted, how will the main power be turned off if necessary?
Thank you guys! I will greatly appreciate your comments and suggestions. Until then, I will be enjoying my new projector.
