Projector for sports games

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi guys. I'm hoping this is the right place to post but I apologize in advance if it's not.

A friend of mine is trying to put together a projector setup to display football and basketball games onto the wall of an adjacent building. He is discussing the idea with the owner of the building to improve the wall for viewing purposes. It's currently a brick wall painted white but he needs to know what can be done to improve it for viewing other than sanding down rough areas. For example, are there paints made specifically for this kind of application.

As for the projector itself, I told him(and correct me if I'm wrong) but he would probably need only a 720p projector since this will be for sports only. But most of the reading I've done has been for projectors intended to be used in home and this is outside of my element. Basically he wants to project a 20'x12' image onto a wall approximately 50' away. This will only be used at night.

Can you guys point me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate any help you can offer.

You will be out of luck if the PJ needs to be 50 feet away.

The Benq SP831 has 4,000 lumens and will project a 20x12 image from about 34 feet away.

Just paint the wall clean. From 50 feet you will not notice the rough spots.

Well The BenQ SP831 would be great, but the BenQ SP920P would probably be better. Instead of 4000 lumens it has 6000!!!! The new SP920P is quite a bit pricier though. Depends on your budget really haha.

SP831 ($1,999)

This is the <$3,000.00 forum hence the lack of the $3600 PJ in my post...
