Long-Throw DLP Projectors (1 Viewer)

Jay Mitchosky · Mar 29, 2003

Has anyone compiled a list of currently available HD2-based DLP projectors complete with their respective throw ratios? I'm trying to keep the projector location as far back into the theater as possible, which would demand a throw of 2.1 to 2.2. I've heard great things about the Marantz VP-12S2 but it seems to have quite a short throw.

Thoughts?

You can get the Marantz with a long throw lense, but the MSRP for the lense is $3000-$4000.
The new Yamaha DPX-1000 has a long throw. You can go to the Yamaha website and they have a calculator that will allow you to determine the max. throw based upon screen size.
Selco also has a fairly long throw if I remember correctly.

I was reading that. By that time I would just as soon go with the Runco. The S2's short throw has yanked it from my list as I don't want the projector immediately over my head. Thanks for the tip about Yamaha - I'll check that out. More manufacturers need that kind of calculator on their sites, in addition to measurements for how the projector needs to be placed vertically relative to the screen.

Jay,

The Seleco HT300 Plus has a throw distance of 1.8 - 2.4 times screen width. The HT200 projectors have an even longer throw distance. Sim2 just released the HT200 F ( or is it "S"?) with DCDi processing. It retails for $4995. I haven't gone over the complete specs for it. I have the information at my office.
