Hello,
This is my first post, but it seems like there are a bunch of helpful/knowlegable people here, so here goes:
-I have a budget of $2000 to improve the video system here at our house (~45 guys, a bunch not technically oriented).
-We want to want to watch DVD's and Digital cable on something big.
-Afraid of getting an RPTV because there will be lots of people around (somebody falling into it a definate possibility), and the fact that people will probably mess with the settings and cause damage (burn-in, etc.)
-Leaning towards a projector for above reasons, plus projector will be more versatile (move it around for presentations, etc) and we can watch on a bigger screen
-Sony HS-10 was first choice, but a little out of our budget. Now considering the Panasonic PT-LC75U (for 1600).
-Viewing conditions will be a mixture of dark (for DVDs) and light (sports events).
-Going to mount from the ceiling (also,needs to be protected from theft).
-Have a great place for the screen (54" high by as wide as we want (probably 73" for standard format)
-need a moderately wide viewing angle
-Should we buy a pull down screen, make one ourselves, or paint one using this stuff I've heard about called "screen goo"?
Any advice on what you think would be best for us (projectors, screen material, etc.) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Ben Zimmerman
