Ok I know there are alot of these threads, so sorry ahead of time but I need some help.
I am looking for pj under $1k for dvds/xbox/bluray/hdtv.
-complete light control
-ceiling mounted 19' from a 110" screen
-PJ hangs at 8 feet high and the top of the screen is 7 feet
-seating is 12'-15' back
I can't move the projector more than a foot or two forward (and would prefer to not move it at all) due to a ceiling fan. The HC1500 and DT-510 don't look like they will work due to the throw distance. I can't lower the projector anymore as it hangs above the doors to enter the room. I could build a shelf for it back there at the same height (I think this would make it even more difficult though?)
I am also thinking about building a wider screen for a poor man's CIH when watching 2.35 movies. You can see pics of the room in my signature. I have an old lcd projector right now but it seems like DLP would be better for me if I can find one that works in my room, I don't have a preference though as I really don't have any frame of reference except what I read here.
