Hello
I am getting ready to really get my theater construction rolling in the next couple of days, I have been in the planning stages for quite some time now!
I went with a Panasonic PT-AE4000U mainly because its will do scope and is a great projector for the budget. I am wanting to go with a scope screen a 130" wide (preferably) or 120" wide acoustically transparent screen. Below are some room specs:
Completely Light Controlled
Width:14'2"
Length:21'
Seating Distance (with screen 24" off front wall)
Front Row: 11.5' Back Row 17.5'
My Screenwall will be roughly around 2' from my wall which will put my max throw at about 18'-19'. The following calculaters gave me these results using 130" wide 2.37 screen:
Panasonic Calculator
http://www.panasonic.net/avc/project...e4000_235.html
Min Throw: 14.66ft Max Throw:22.18ft
Projector Central Calculator
http://www.projectorcentral.com/Pana...ulator-pro.htm
Recommended Max Throw(in Green):15'8"
Does this mean that the 15'8" would be the optimal spot?... If so that would pretty much set my projector in between rows & with me trying to get my projector within the top of the screen it would interfere with traffic.
I messed around with the projector last night projecting on the drywall and it seemed with my max throw I didnt get as crisp of a picture.
What are peoples solutions to making this projector lens be in the top portion of the screen without the projector interfering with hitting peoples heads etc?
Also im a little unsure on setting the projector up to achieve 16:9 & 2.35 I saw somewhat of a guide on it in the forums somewhere but cannot find it now, can anyone direct me to that?
Ive read/researched alot of stuff on all of this but now have myself confused so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
