Scratch that, just ordered the Epson 5010 and got a free mount with it as well for $1999.00 delivered. I am pretty happy with that deal. Thanks for your help with all this Jim. Now once it gets here I will have to figure out how to get this bad boy adjusted just right. I can't wait.

Ok final question on this as I will be ordering today. I believe I am going to go with the epson 5010. The only thing I am debating on now is it worth it to pay an extra $600 and get the Panasonic PT-AE8000U? I am thinking probably just go with the epson but I didn't know if that one would make...

I am reading comparisons on DLP vs LCD because they seem to be pretty similar as far as performance goes. I might just go with the epson

Hey Jim, We have been prolongng moving in for almost a month due to delays on the remodeling work. So I haven't been looking much into the projectors still until today. I used projector central and found the epson 5010 would be good as well as a Benq W7000 and Mitsubushi HC7800. Do you have any...

Nope I just want solid picture quality and preferably a decent bulb life lol. And yep 120" and a 15' throw.

Ok well that settled that internal debate lmao. Well it was about 2k. That's the price area I'd like to be in and I don't care about 3d really for it

I have been looking at the Vivitek 5080 as well as basically everyones suggestions. I haven't looked them all up in awhile so I can't recall all the pros and cons. I will need to go back through them because I'm planning on ordering sometime this week I believe

Haha I know I just am being indecisive!

Ok guys haven't updated in awhile I've been busy with bigger details on the house. Anyways I have all the wires run through the ceiling for the surround sound, and also put my hdmi chord through as well. The distance from projector to screen is going to be 14'10" roughly I can move a few inches...

I haven't found a review on the JVC yet but the Benq and Acer both had high reviews for sure

I will look this one up as well I am not familiar with it either

Jim I am looking at buying from projectorpeople believe. I will check out the Benq and the Acer, I haven't looked at either of them yet. I watched some youtube videos showing a few projectors lined up side by side playing and they were doing a comparison and I actually really liked the Vivitek...

To clarify on my plans on where to mount the projector, I am planning on mounting it at 14.5-15' back afterall on the ceiling. I have a little space off to the side for my DVD player and everything to keep it all organized this way. Now for the screen, I was looking at getting an electric...

I'm not sure on the sharp model, but it retailed close to 3k but it was at some audio video shop on sale. He said it was great but said you couldn't really adjust it well for some reason. He still was recommending it after saying that lol. They mainly had high end like 6-15,000 projectors in...

I saw a sharp on display today at a store here and the picture looked pretty good on it. I am pretty sure I will be happy with most projectors I don't have to have the best picture ever just something good. I don't want that sharp, but that was the first display one I've seen and I really liked...

Yea I agree. And no I haven't had a chance to view any yet, school just started back up so I have been swamped between work, school, and family time! I am taking the wifey furniture shopping this weekend, SO I plan on getting to do some projector shopping in return lol. Hopefully I find some...

I would be a little leery of buying a used projector. It's one of those things if I did buy one used it would be from somebody on CL that I got to go see it in working condition before buying instead of just ordering it online. I would much rather just find a good deal on a new one! Jim, I...

I would say my budget for the projector itself is right around $2-2500. That will leave me enough in the overall budget to set it up with good mounts and cables and everything and to either buy or do a DIY screen. Basically I want a limit of $3000 for the WHOLE setup. We had a major unexpected...

Oh and I forgot to add I don't really have any interest in 3D. If it comes with the capability that is fine, but I would prefer to not pay extra for it because I doubt I will be using it at all.

Thanks for posting that calculator up. I should be able to do a 120" screen easily. And my speakers are a Yamaha 5.1 setup not 7.1, but nonetheless a similar setup.

I didn't really think about how far back from the screen that would be. The main reason I was thinking that was putting the couches towards the back wall and then projecting to the opposite side. I can rework it though and make it closer than that. How big of a screen can an 8ft wall accomodate...

Also I have seen quite a few things mentioned about the projectors being equipped with something to slow down the picture movements so it doesn't have that kind of blurry effect. Is that more of an issue with the DLP over LCOS? I know on some LCD tv's I have watched I can't stand when they have...

So LCOS is the way to go over the DLP? When I spoke with the guy he only mentioned LCD and DLP. Actually the more I think about it I feel like he said LCOS but he didn't go into detail on it. I am assuming he thought it would be a good bit more expensive. I am not really sure. I am going to...

Hey Jim, Thanks for the response. It is just what the guy at Best Buy recommended and I was looking them up and it seemed to be a pretty nice model with good reviews. But I might be completely off on that. I was thinking somewhere around the 100" area on the screen. I am flexible but I would...

Or I can just go with a tv instead. I am just really interested in the projector route. Any input would be appreciated

Hey I am new to this site as well as to the projector world. We are currently in the process of remodeling a new home and are wanting to do a nice setup with a projector instead of a massive regular tv. The room does have a few windows, but I am planning on putting blackout curtains over them...
