Neil...thanks very much for any help you can give me on this...actually now I have resigned myself that 1 foot is probably pushing it so I've reluctantly decided to go to an 82" (16:9) diagonal screen instead of the desired 92". According to the calculators I have seen, this will allow me a 2...

The projector I am looking at (Sanyo PLV-70) has a recommended clearance of 3' behind the unit to allow for proper cooling. The unit will be placed in 14x11 room with 10' ceilings. How strictly should one adhere to the "recommended" clearances? Does anyone have the PLV-70 and can you offer any...

Got ya...my mistake...how closely does everyone feel the manufacturers recommendation should be followed as regards the rear clearance...are those usually conservative or should I adhere strictly to that guideline? Last thing I want is a nice theater in a house that is burning down...

Thanks to all for the great advice so far.. Neil...I was under the impression I needed to factor in the size of the unit (17") plus the 11.8 distance to the screen and then add 3 ft for clearance which would give me a total of between 16-17 ft...am I calculating this incorrectly?

I had been strongly considering the Sanyo PLV 70 / Boxlight but understand the it needs to be placed nearly 14' from the screen for a 92" 16:9 image, and then Sanyo recommends a 3' clearence behind the unit for cooling for a total room depth requirement of 17'...unfortunately I've only got...

"sight unseen...scary words" Tell me about it...how do you make a proper decision when these things arent displayed anywhere around here?

Also...in looking at the specs (really all I have to go by other then the advice I receive) the Sanyo is rated at 2200 lumens and has a great reslution when compared with the DLP recommended to me (the Infocus LS-110). It seems like the picture would be much better (brighter, sharper) with that...

Gabriel...thanks for the great input...looking for as much advice as possible...I just cant believe I'm going to spend 5K on a projector "sight unseen" and as a result I need all the help I can get!

I am currently looking to purchase a projector in the $5000 price range and have been getting conflicting information regarding whether I should be looking at an "upper end" LCD or a "lower end" DLP. I was heading toward DLP but it seems as though that might not be the best way to go. I...

Neil...thanks for the reply...I guess I should have been a bit more specific. The room is 14'deep by 11'wide and has one window which I will be putting a black-out shade on. In terms of budget, I would like to spend a max of $9,000 on projector, screen, receiver and speakers. Again, any advice...

I recently came across this forum and being a member of another similar forum related to automoblies I was thrilled to discover one dealing with home theater. I am just beginning to explore converting a rarely used room into a theater but am getting conflicting advice from each vendor /...
