[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 47370, member: 8"] Re: Projector opinions Brad, thanks for all the info. I realize that the sizes I quoted aren't really fitting into the aspect ratio standards. I was going off generalities of both computer use and DVD use at the same event last weekend. The screen is a max of 12' x 16', and the projector sits in front of the first row about 30' away. Movies are sometimes shown, but this is a multi-use situation where Powerpoint and other computer based images are shown as well. Sometimes these things happen during the day, and the theater space has heavily draped windows up high, so "total" darkness is not possible, and combined with insanely bright Exit signs(seven of them!), it will never be up to a commercial movie theater level of dark. The stage is draped in black all around, which helps since the screen is against the backstage wall, but a better quality image would be nice. Based on what you've described, it may not matter if a new projector has higher resolution than 800x600, so I'm down to higher brightness, higher contrast, and a lens system with imaging at the 30' distance we use(the current InFocus is definitely past it's rated max of 20'). I do set up a pretty good sound system when we show movies. ;>) Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
