About ready to pull the trigger on a Da-Lite Model B with CSR. I had the HP recommended by Jason but haven't been able to sync up with him regarding some concerns.
Screen dimensions are 45x80, 12" drop, mounted 99" off the floor. Puts the middle of the screen at about 64.5" off the floor.
Projector will be shelf mounted on a wall 11' 8" from the screen giving a throw of just over 10' when considering the length of the projector and clearance for cables. The mounting height has yet to be determined but the higher the better because this is our living room and I want the projector as "out of the way" as possible. Figure 7 to 8' as the lowest.
My current projector is a PT-AE900U with a 2100hr/old bulb but I plan to upgrade with the latest/greatest $2-3k non-DLP in the next couple of months.
My biggest concern about the HP recommendation is brightness, specifically, too much brightness. I don't much like the in-your-face brightness of a typical flat panel. But reading more about the retro-reflective properities suggests that it might be wrong for my application given the projector being mounted several feet above my head.
Would I be better off with a different material given that my projector height won't be ideal or might this still give me a good image?
