    DLP: does throw distance effect RBE?

    Is it true that mounting it further back helps with RBE? I'm about to install the mount for my new HC4000 in a day or two and I can either mount it to the front or the back of the suggested throw distance from the Mits calculator. Will pushing it to the back help with RBE? Any help appreciated...

    About to decide on Mits HC4000 over Epson 8350. One question, how about RAINBOW with the Mits?

    Thanks Jim, I thought the same. About to order from ProjectorPeople because they have a decent 30 day return policy. I hope they are decent to deal with. Thanks for your help bro.

    About to decide on Mits HC4000 over Epson 8350. One question, how about RAINBOW with the Mits?

    You are right, it was my bro-in-law's and it was an Optima H79, not an Epson. Sorry :)

    About to decide on Mits HC4000 over Epson 8350. One question, how about RAINBOW with the Mits?

    I'll try to make this as short as possible since I've read about every thread from every forum on the HC4000 vs Epson 8350. I know the pros and cons of each but I think will work for my room as far as placement goes (thats another post that will come just to make sure). I know rainbow effect is...

    Will IR remote reflect off a screen to a component?

    Trying to plan the room layout of my first, true HT w/projector and screen. The room has spaces that I can eventually add an in-wall rack but for convenience I just want to put a stand alone rack in the back of the room. It would be on the opposite wall of the screen and to the right of seating...

    Is Optoma HD20 still the best 1080p for under $1000?

    Hi, I haven't been here in awhile. Back a few years ago the Optoma HD20 was the buzz for budget 1080p. 1080p is all I want, I could give a crud about 3D. Is this projector still the best bang for the buck? If not please suggest other brands/models. Thanks!

    Best 5.1 in-walls for under $1000?

    Well I got no posts on this thread and I wanted to give it one more shot before I made a purchase (leaning towards Phase Tech). I am just hoping to get any last suggestions before I buy. By the way I can up my spending level a few hundred if needed but I’m hoping not to. Anyway, to further...

    Best 5.1 in-walls for under $1000?

    I’ve decided to go with in-walls for my 5.1 setup and I need advice on choosing the best speakers I can afford. My price range is to stay under $800-$1000 for all 5 speakers (the more under the dollar budget the better considering the shape of the room.) It’s a 2-story vaulted living room...

    Can I use existing "on-walls" as "in-walls" in a new construction?

    I’m in a new home build here and need some advice. The framing is complete and they are about to start the sheetrock. Just wondering if anyone has installed or would suggest installing regular on-wall surrounds as in-wall’s in a new construction home. In other words, should I mount my current...

    5.1 speaker advice for odd shaped room

    I need advice on speakers for 5.1 speakers in a less than ideal shaped room. The display will be a 42” to 55” LCD or Plasma hung above a fireplace. There will be built-in cabinets on each side so I can go with bookshelf speakers for my mains. I’m up for any suggestions on the center channel, it...
