Hi,
Usage at 421 hours at Low lamp mode. No keystone adjustment is used on the projector. NO optical filter on the AE100. Below is my current config in the past 150 hours or so and may stay that way to the end of...
Room setup: size around 8'x9'. Side walls are mostly covered so there is only average light reflection in the room.
Screen: wall mount Vutec BriteWhite 1.5 gain 50"x67" 4:3.
Viewing position: around 110" to screen so it's about 1.6x screen width away.
AE100 position: ceiling mounted around 113" from lens to screen. Min zoom (smallest image) for 16x9 anamorphic and max zoom (biggest image) for 4:3/letterbox source.
Warning: this config is for my own setup and my taste only. The values are NOT some universal magic setting for any AE100. That being say, if one has the exact setup, I do expect one to see a similar picture which looks GREAT!
