Hi All,
I just purchased the w1070 and had a question on its placement. Right in the middle of the optimal range for placing the PJ for an 110 inch screen there is a pipe that supplies steam heat to 1) the basement and 2) the remainder of the house. I've measured how much vertical room I have if I were to mount the PJ behind the pipe, and it's sufficient for mounting the screen properly (I think the top of the screen is supposed to be more than 3" from the lens, which is no problem). My question is this- if I were to mount the PJ behind the pipe, I probably would put it so it's pretty close to it.
When the pipe heats up to around 200 degrees F, will this have an adverse affect on 1) the PJ or 2) the light coming from the lens? That is, I don't want the image on the screen to be distorted when the pipe heats up due to the pipe emitting visible heat waves. I hope that makes sense.
The alternative is placing the PJ in front of the pipe completely so that the back of the PJ is near the pipe. Doing so would leave about 9.5' from the lens to the wall, so it would be towards the limit of how close I could get. Is this the more reasonable route?
One more thing. The pipe itself is about 5 inches below the ceiling, so with the PJ behind the pipe, I would have to drop it down to around 6-8 inches off the ceiling. If I went in front of the pipe, I could leave the PJ as close to the ceiling as I want.
Thanks!
