OK,
Fairly new to the world of DLP's. I have done some research and
am interested in purchasing an LT240 sometime in the near future.
Obviously I need to actually see one in order to determine if I will
have any problems with Rainbows.
Based on the projection calculator tool on Projector Central I have
come up with the following rough numbers.
Distance to Screen 11 feet This is based on my room size.
Width of 4:3 7 feet
Height of 4:3 5 feet
Now most of the time I will be viewing 4:3 material, basically
I would like to build a flight simulator and use the Projector
rather than a 21" monitor.
Now I will also use it to view DVDs.
Questions:
1) Since the throw length will not change I am assuming that
the 16:9 image will retain the 7 foot width but will lose some
of its height based on the 1.7777 ratio of a 16:9 image.
Is this correct??
2) I have heard that there is pixel lose when projecting a 16:9
image on a 4:3 projector. Does that mean that I am actually going
to lose some of the DVD material?
3) Should I buy a 4:3 based screen or a 16:9 based screen?
Thanks in advance......................
