I am trying to figure out if I can mount anycurrent 1080p DLP proj. in my Home Theater.
These are its characteristics, and can't be changed:
1) 10' W x 17' L x 6'8" H
2) Seating is at rear wall (17').
3) 100" diag Firehawk; screen starts 10" from ceiling.
From these I conclude:
1) Can not use 36 degree vertical offset projectors. Low ceiling would require major tilt of screen. InFocus and Optoma out.
2) Proj. must be mounted in front of seating (obviously). If I used a proj. which can be mounted w/the lens center at the top of the screen (BenQ, Sharp, Marantz), the lens center would be at 5'8" from the floor, in front of the viewing area; perfect for viewers to hit their heads on, especially in dark.
3) Altho the Sharp has sufficient range to be shelf mounted at 17', the rear speakers for my system would be on either side of the shelf.
Any suggestions? I currently use an IF7210, which, with a 16 degree vertical shift works perfectly.
