Thanks Man. I was wondering if I’d have to adjust the projector to center the lens since it’s not in the center as it was on my Sony. We don’t ever change the size of the image so I don’t think I’ll miss the power zoom. I never touched it on the Sony. I’m not too worried about having 4K. I...

Oh good. Last thing I needed was another project so I’m relieved I can keep it where it is. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Josh. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a lot about projectors or how best to locate them in relationship to the screen. I did use one of the projector calculators using the Epson 2150 as my projector. When I input 16’6” as the distance, my 120” screen lands in the ok range. Is...

Also, my DVD player in the theater is outdated and doesn’t even have an HDMI port. Its actually a dvd/vcr combo, haha. Time to update probably. Everything is as it was when I bought the house 11 years ago.

Wow, thanks for the very informative response. That helps a lot. I’m just trying to decide how far I want to take the system. I do currently have component cables running thru the walls from the media cabinet about 40’ away. I don’t want to reposition the projector since I already have the...

It turns out the cables ran to my projector are component cables, so it sounds like I will have to replace those as well if I want to use a newer projector. Just gotta find a 40’ long HDMI cable.

What you said regarding the cables is a good point. The cable to the projector is not even an HDMI. It is four cables, maybe RCA or similar. The only problem is that they are probably 40’ long so replacing the cables would not be cheap. Something to think about though. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Josh. One thing I noticed in the specs of new Projectors is the distance it can be from the screen. Currently mine is placed at roughly 17’ from the screen. It seems a lot of the projectors I’ve looked at cannot be mounted that far from the screen. I’d rather not remount...

Do you know how it would compare to my older Sony VPL-HS20 as far a picture quality. I really don’t want to spend over $3k on a projector since we don’t really use it much, even though we are hoping to now. Thank you for the help.

If it’s not worth repairing, do you have any recommendations on which projector I should look at? One of them that I was looking at is the Epson 4010.

Hello, I am new here and seeking some advice from you all. I have an older projector, a Sony VPL-HS20, that we’ve had since new and we never really used it too much. Now that our kids are older, they’ve been bugging me about watching movies in the theatre more often. Over the weekend I turned it...
