I had posted this in the projector sub-forum, but since it's also a build question I was wondering if anyone in here knew of a projector choice for me. I am in the process of building out my second HT as part of a full basement build in our new home (prior was 7yrs ago and I am feeling my age this time
) and am cabling right now. Ideally I would like to locate the PJ in the rear soffit (with correct ventilation of course).
This leads me to the concern over projector choice. The rear soffit will be 27' back from what will be my AT screen wall (likely a Seymour), obviously I could wire closer to the screen but since this is my second time around I want to create an amazing experience all around.
What good projectors under 5k exist that will get me this distance and a solid visual experience?
I wont be buying for another 6mths, but am I really limiting miself with this requirement? Should I just bite the bullet and wire for a ceiling mount in addition to the rear soffit?
Really appreciate people's input since this is a really critical time for the design, not to mention drywall is scheduled for 4weeks (feels like I have been working 2 FT jobs for the last 8weeks, but come this winter it will all be worthwhile) from now.
Thanks, Brett
