Not that I am an expert or anything, but I did not see mentioned that a x1 can display 4:3 in a 16:9 window( screen) but the PB6100 does not, if you switch back and forth between them you need to either touch the pj and zoom/ back and forth, or hope your hd box does this feature for you, or use...

Its just my .02 but if you are happy with it now do not bother unless you have the money buring a hole in your pocket. but that is just my opinion, yes I have had my set calibrated yes dvd's look awsome, 1080, on the other hand, I should have left alone. just my .02 also I did ask my...

http://www.projectorcentral.com/optoma_h30.htm If you are going to use it for 4:3 and 16:9 and want dlp, I would lean towards the h30, not having a mode to fit the 4:3 into a 16:9 screen would be a deal breaker for me on the 6100. If you want to wait for the 4805, do not forget alot of...

You can use a vcr if you have one, or I use a dvd burner, and output through the svideo on the burner. If you can recieve digital OTA stations you could get a reciever and watch hd and sd programming on the x1, you could check if you have a cable box, it might have a svideo out? as...

I sit 10-11 ft from a 48, big at first, then shrunk, I now hang a 82" fp screen and watch it from the same distance, only limitation is the pj, any closer than 2x the screen width, and I see the screen door, and sd cable look bad, but sd ota, is a different story;) If you are set on rp go...

Brett, with the trim, it was easy, just nail it to a stud, that way you do not need to use the trim screws. I just used a Hilti, for the bottom plate and screwd the top plate to my floor joists. I only used 1 screw in the front, it seemed strong enought to me, but I am no contractor,the...

Maby try blowing it out like if you had a dustball, and see if it changes?? I would hate to think I could have a problem like that in that short of hours, but who knows, Is that a replaceable part, without having problems lining up the panels? I have orderd some filters , I am...

I have used both steel and wood studs in my basement, If I did it again, no steel... they can rattle, under base, they are a pain to hang any pictures on, constantly cutting my fingers, need wood reinforcement around doors, and anyplace you might want to nail, need to use trim screws instead...

I do not know your room, but can you mount a z2 on a shelf to the side of the room and use the lens shift to center the screen? maby then you can keep the size you want? just an idea?

Projector central has a throw calculator, check it out, and check out he benq6100, or 6200, the 6100 has a long throw, but if shelf mounting, take notice where the exhaust ports are, last thing you want to do is fry a new pj. just my .02

Depends on what you think is worh it?? crystal clear image at 82" I like it, I have a calibrated mits, and hardly watch it, I just like the pq on the projector better and the size. I realize it is not displaying the full resolution, but I think it still looks good, maby not quite as good a...

I think it is a compromise, I have a mits, and I always seem that the 720 broadcasts are a little softer than the 1080I, but that is my native resolution, (football), but every broadcast differs in quality, and I am being extreemly picky, It all looks great, check out the hitachi, they might...

your answer is right above you check out the sponser carada they have a 142, 0r 144 I forget pretty reasonable for that size, and less than 1/2 your guess check out da lite, stewart,draper,carada, or try and make your own much cheaper, but maby not at that size.

Wile I think it is great for everyone to try and help someone out, there is in no way enough information on what and how the person starting this thred wants to use a pj, room size, lighting, screen size, distance from screen? is HD a issue? need dvi? Everyone loves the pj they have, and most...
