I have just purchased a LT150 which I am stoked with. My set up is a non-progressive scan DVD player utilising the LT150 onboard scaler with an s-video feed. I also have a PAL sat feed also through s-video. My viewing distance is 4m, with a ceiling mount for the projector.
The next step is a screen, which I have no Q's regards due to some excellent posts covering screens. Also a progressive scan DVD player, hopefully capable of DVD audio playback (Are HTPC cards capable of DVD audio?)
The main query I have is the optimum screen size considering my 4m viewing distance. I am aware of the 2:1 rule, is this a diagonal consideration or a screen width? At the moment I find that if I go above a 1.5m wide screen( which is well inside the 2:1 rule) then I suffer from eye fatigue and end up with a headache mainly due to any fast panning shots. Could this fatigue be reduced with a scaler, and if so what is the recommended best bang for your buck?
