First of all, my primary thoughts are with the victims of this morning's atrocious terrorist acts, ourselves included. I plan to fly a flag at half-mast in front of my home today, once I figure how to jury-rig a flag pole.
I just received my NEC LT150 yesterday, and of course, I didn't sleep much last night, having played with my new toy & refusing to go to bed, until my wife threatened to shut down the power. I enjoyed it very much right out of the box, running it via my PC, although I was jumping around with different media & didn't quite watch an entire movie.
The layout of my family room has made me think of projecting the image by reflecting it off of a mirror (the idea was suggested in the manual; not my original idea). I can think of three advantages: 1- the pj remains in front of the room, where the rest of the AV equipments will be, so there will be less cables/cords snaking around 2- the throw distance is increased with less space 3- I can mask the mirror directly, to help avoid the halo etc..., instead of masking the screen (which is actually only a white wall at this time); I can also make a mask for the 16:9 to avoid the letter box effect on the final projected image. These thoughts haven't been actually carried out by me.
Has anyone tried projecting off of a mirror, and what are your thoughts/experience, even if you haven't tried it?
