Ok guys
i think i decided on going digital front projection for my fathers new home theater
Now then, here are my questions
what all, besides the projector itself, do i need?
ive been looking on the forums every day, and i hear mentions of certain things
so here are my questions in point forum
1)
What is this scaler i hear about? do i need one of these. This will be only for digital football and widescreen dvds(with the occasional fullscreen, we try to by widescreen) how much are these guys? can someone recommend a decent brand or model?
2)
These felt masks i hear about, are they necessary? i gather they increase black level perceptions. are there any screens with this built in? which leads me to my next question
3)
what do i do about a screen!, i dont know how big we need yet, dont even know how big we can get with the projector, i assume this should be the last thing you buy. What are some good brands, how much will this cost me?
4)
rainbow effect. Ive heard iffy things about this, i dont even know what it is.... explain please
5)
Finally!
what projector!
i have not even looked at these guys yet, i dont have time to go audition, but what should i look for when i go audition
ive heard about the Z1 and X1, so i should definatly take a look at these?
finally, lets give this a budget of around 3000. for the whole projection setup.
We want best quality possible. what kind of connectors should i look into
RGBHV? component video? DVI?
we will buy the dvd player to match the projector
thanks guys, im still learning, sorry if yall get these posts everyday.
