Hello everyone.
On the subject of Home Cimema I'm a total newbie. I haven't even made a final choice of projector—but which, given my small budget seems to be pointing me to an Optomo HD20.
With so many viariables, Home Cinema is a far trickier subject than I ever imagined—but from what I've gleaned so far the HD20 is known to project too strong a beam and so which, in normal situations bleaches out blacks; so the HD20 would seem to suit not only an outdoor situation, but that, also at what will be for me, near its max projection distance of, I believe, 10M (32'-9").
I've an outdoor (very rural, low ambient night-light) setting and (from lens to screen) a projection distance of (give or take 2"): 30.5' feet. At that, I can accomodate a screen of anything up to 11' wide (12' if I must)—and, basically, any height. (Assume, I suppose, a half moon.)
I'd appreciate recommendations on what size my screen should be.
(On the other hand: given I was to let the screen width dictate and so was to use the full 11' available width, what would then be the projection distance for the HD20?)
(Is, btw, the projection angle fixed on the HD20 or is it adjustable?)
Any other recommendations or thoughts are always welcome.
