Need a PJ with high image offset. Suggestions?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
My new house has an unusual HT room wall configuration that will mean my 92in screen will be located approx 18 inches from the floor so the top of the image must be around 63 inches from the floor. That is ok for viewing, but creates a problem with my Infocus 4805's 127% image offset. At that rate, the center of the lens must be around 75 inches from the floor. Due to my throw distance and seating location, the 4805 will be a few feet in front of the seating position at that 75 inch height. My ceiling is 8 feet, so I will need an extension on a ceiling mount.

The problem is two-fold:

1) The WAF. She does not like the sound of the PJ mounted so close to the floor. She wants it nearer to the ceiling;

2) I am 75 inches tall and do not want to be bumping my head on it and it will be distracting so low.

So, my question is, are there any 720p PJ's with a much larger image offset that would work? Price needs to be under $1500.

Thanks!

Epson HC 7200 and the Sanyo Z5 have ridiculous lens shiting capability. Either will work for you.

You can always get an LCD with lens shift so you can place the projector just about anywhere. www.visualapex.com has a great deal on the Epson HC720.

If you want 1080p the Mitubishi HC4900 is in your price range after rebate.

Thanks! One last point I forgot. they need to be able to deal well with ambient light issues. Sounds like the Epson does for sure.

If $1500 is your budget, get the Mits 4900. It's a 1080p. Nearly dead quiet so your wife will love it. And it produces a nice picture. The picture quality of the Epson 720 is said to be slightly better (brighter, better colors, blacklevel, etc) but it's a 720p.
