I have a room with a slanted ceiling. The short wall is 100 inches tall and is behind the couch. The tall wall is 136 inches tall and I project on it from about 48 inches off the floor to 136 inches. There is a projector shelf on the back wall a few inches below the ceiling which puts the projector lens pretty much in the dead center of the image vertically. In theory this is great because with a lens projecting straight out I don't need any lens shifting or keystoning. Just one problem - many projectors have a build-in vertical image offset and they don't always tell you what that offset is in product listings.
I've been projecting from my old Panasonic AE900U great for years. It's dying, so I replaced it with a Benq HT1075 (similar to the W1070) and was quite surprised to discover a severe image offset making the projector only suitable for projecting from a coffee table (or upside down from a flat, as in not-slanted, ceiling). Unfortunately I am going to have to return the HT1075 since it's pretty useless for my application. From what I can tell online, I won't fare any better with the Optoma HD26.
Are there any "straight shooters" out there in the under $1500 range that are good for 3D?
