I have the bug and plan on buying a FP this week. I have wanted a FP for 5 years and they are finally affordable with the options I want. I can not wait to get this puppy and think I should have started with a FP and bought better audio later, LOL.
I have narrowed my search to the Sanyo Z1. I found it for $1195. I plan on mating it with a 45" x 80" Da-lite Model B I found for $119. Total of the two is about $200 more than I want to spend but the credit card will get it without issue...
Now my question to Z1 owners. I am concerned about screen door. I have no projector expierence but read about it. My first row seating is about 125 inches (almost 10 1/2' back). Second row will not be an issue since it is 5 and a half feet back more. Will the 10' be to close to a 45"x80" screen (I don't know the diag on that)?
I know the Panasonic PT-L300U it wouldn't be from what I read but do not know on the Z1.
I plan on placing the screen in front of my RPTV. If that wasnt the plan I could get another 3-4' from the front row at the expense of removing the tv. I do not think I want to do that.
Should I wait for more money / a deal on the panny or will the Z1 be okay at this distance?
Anyone know where I can get the z1 cheaper before I buy it this week?
BTW-Anyone interested in the Infocus X-1 and doesn't mind refurbed check out this deal $750!: http://www.adtech-sys.com/content/ho...r.asp#special7
