Hello AVS Forum!
We currently have a meeting room that measures aprox. 45' x 60' with dual projectors and screens. The screen sizes are 120" being lit up with 2 Optoma TX1080's. Unfortunately, one of the projectors is getting pretty bad, intermittent color shifting (color wheel?) and sudden power off's; very annoying when hosting 120 people in the meeting room, and it just suddenly acts up and throws a fit.
So I got to thinking, maybe it's time I should consider replacing the projectors. So I'm looking for something that will give out good, relatively accurate color and contrast, since we view a lot of photos that require it. There are also some pretty detailed charts and financials going up on the screens. But we want something bright enough that will cut through the lights, even if they're turned up to full brightness. And of course, something that's not going to result in a call from the CFO asking "What the hell are you thinking?!"
I was looking at the InFocus IN3138HD, but now I'm thinking maybe not...
Any suggestions?
A couple of answers to questions I see regularly:
Dedicated room? Yes, this is a room dedicated to conferences/meetings
Size of the room? Aprox. 45' x 60'
Ceiling height? 14'
Throw distance? Aprox. 18'
What type of content? Mostly PowerPoint/Keynote, rarely videos.
Room color? Please see attached pics.
Seating distance? Anywhere from 10' to 40' from the screens.
Resolution requirements? WUXGA would be nice, but I think I could settle for WXGA.
Lighting? The room is outfitted with a 5 zone lighting system with a Lutron controller. We can dim each zone independently of each other, and the fluorescents contain dimmable ballasts which are tied into the Lutron controller as one of the zones.
Windows? None, the room is capable of getting really dark, but rarely is. Most people that use the room are not aware or just choose not to use the light controller so the lights are usually shining bright throughout most presentations.
Current equipment? 2 120" white fixed screens, 2 Optoma TX1080's
Requirements for hookups? VGA (with 2 inputs, and monitor out [unless I go get a VGA splitter]) & HDMI
Thank you!
