I have a 150 inch Elite Cinegrey 5D screen (the room is not totally light controlled) I mostly watch movies. I'm currently using a Benq W6000 not happy at all with bulb failure and auto iris issues. I'm planning on buying a projector this week. Can't make my mind up between. Optoma...

I currently have a W6000 and love it, however I'm thinking of redoing my HT to allow for a bigger screen (12' width 2.40 Aspect Ratio) and thus moving the screen to the long wall - meaning that the projector would be about 10' from the screen. The min. distance that I've found for a comparable...

I'm trying to find a 1080p projector that can accommodate a 180 150" diagonal AT screen and with a 10-14' throw distance. Currently I have a BenQ W6000 at about 21' distance from the screen but would really like to see if I could move the source closer for some applications. I've looked into...

This room will be completely light controlled. I was planning on using a Seymour XD. I have done some reading on the BenQ W6000 and Panasonic PT-AE8000u. . My room is 17' X 25' with 3 rows of seating. 140" diagonal would work well in theory. My dealers says my screen needs to be smaller and...

I'm slowly entering into the world of home "cinema" projection in 1080p. Although Epsons (EH-TW3200 and EH-TW6000) get very good reviews as LCD I'm still more inclined towards buying DLP (deeper blacks and more natural colours). However I come from a country where it's virtually impossible to...

Hello All, Its now a month that I am looking to buy a good projector for my small room in my dorm. My budget is around 1200$(Actually 900 euros). Because I concluded that there is no chance to get a good new projector with this budget I decided to go for a second hand good projector. Its...

New house, new thread, I suppose... Here's the link to my original setup in my old place: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1332738/devos-den I thought that the new setup warranted a new thread, due to some new equipment and a new home. Most of the same old equipment, with a couple new things...

I am new to the projector world (this will be my first) and pretty suprised by the wide range of competition and lack of a clear leading brand or model. I was all set to get he Epson 3010e for my game room and started reading about the horrible input lag (100ms+). I am planning this room for...

What are some of the better and brighter units for 133" (and bigger) sized 2.35:1 screens?

The W6000 is pretty loud and unfortunately is pretty close to the ideal seating position in my home theater. I'm wondering if anyone has swapped out the fan in this guy or know the make/model of the factory installed fan. I figure I can probably find a high quality DC fan that puts out the same...

Mint condition W6000 with less than 100 hours. Bought new 3 mos. ago-still under warranty. Awesome sharpness and brightness and uniformity, but I have to sacrifice due to change in living situation. This projector is a light cannon! All paperwork , original packing and box will be shipped...

I have a bit of a strange request to make for any owner of a W6000 or W7000 projector. I would like to project patterns from a computer for use in a 3D structured light scanner. What I need to know is how SMALL of an image can be projected before you can no longer focus. The manuals are never...

alright, first bulb lasted around 1000 hours on the x3 but dimness became and issue around 800 where it was almost unbearable to watch movies. The ghosting in the 3d has always been an issue as well. second (replacement) bulb has made it about 300-400 hours and is unbearable. I am tired of...

My room is completely light controlled, however the walls and ceiling are not black. My theater will be in my garage, which is demensions 20ftx20ftx20ft. I'm not too interested in 3D, but I could be swayed to give it a shot, and am trying to decide between a BenQ W6000, W7000, Sony HW30, JVC...

Is there any differences in the W6000 and W7000 for 2D picture. I'm considering one of these for a while. 3D is not real inportant to me which is why I'm considering just the W6000. Looking for opinions from anyone who has seen both. Does the W7000 have any benefit over the W6000 when it comes...

as the title states, i have my first projector (an optoma hd20) on the way.. I didnt want to spend an arm and a leg on my first projector until im sure i like it.. the only major knock that really concerns me on these entry 1080p projectors is black level, and i saw on a thread here about the...

I bought a Marantz VP12S3 when it came out years ago. I still use it and love it. There was no blu-ray at the time, only those HD tapes that are now a thing of the past. After I bought it, I stopped following this projectors forum and focused on other ones (blu-ray players, video processors...

Updated 4/15/11. Will continue updating as room treatments (audio/visual) go up; among other future improvements. Screen Wall Finished-5/17

Normally I would work on my new projector until I get everything worked out, but I am only allowed 4 lamp hours to decide if I need to return this projector without penalty. BenQ W6000 Using onkyo sr805 and PS3 with a 25ft HDMI cable. Also dish network HD receiver ( I believe 1080i only)...

G'day all. I moved "house" several months ago, from a unit with a 7.4m x 3.6m living room to one that's 4 metres deep and around 4.5 wide... So pretty different. The old curtain-rails-with-black-curtains down the side of the old room had to go, I had to drop from 4 surround speakers to 2...
