I am trying to determine just how much does the Optoma H79 benefit from a high power screen.
Right now I have my H79 seating on a pedestal right behind my seating position and over my head, at about 16 feet distance from the screen. The screen is raised (seating on a recliner looking up, the screen’s bottom is about 1 foot above my eye level) and it's a 106†diagonal (16:9). The center of the lens of the H79 is lining up with the bottom of the screen.
I currently have a Da-Lite Da-Mat 1.0 gain permwall (permanent) screen. Removing the frame is not an option so I have to stick with Da-Lite’s screens. Since they are snap-ons, I could get a High Power screen and simply snap it on the existing frame.
Given that there’s a vertical angle between my head and the center of the screen (I’m looking up as I watch from the chair) will I see benefits from the High Power screen? I know the horizontal angle is somewhat limited compared to my current unity gain screen but I am not concerned about that. Is the vertical angle also affected?
Thanks for any advice.
