I've been looking at front projectors and trying to learn a bit about them. It seems the big tradeoff at any given price is brightness vs resolution. I would like a 16:9 native aspect ratio and we will not be sitting in a dark room to watch movies. Consequently, I was considering the Mitsubishi HC3 which is brighter that the Sanyo PLV-Z2 but it is 1/4 HD instead of WXGA. A review I read at projector central suggested a viewing distance of 2X screen width for this projector. If that's true, I will have to settle for a smaller screen size than I would like. Does anyone have any experience with this projector? Do I really need that 2X viewing distance to avoid seeing pixels or is it ok at 1.5X width?
Alternatively, if I got the Sanyo PLV-Z2 would I really need to watch it in the dark or is some light ok?
I know it would be best to go look at some of these in different light at different distances but there's just no place around here to do that.
Thanks
