Ok - its getting close to deciding what distance I will be going back so I can plan my hidden wiring.
Please keep this constructive. My goal is to "try" and get the best picture with the worn tubes before I decide to retube later this year. If you want to approach it as "here is what I would do, thats fine too)
Lets assume I am not changing the mounting method, the tubes, rebuilding the tubes or anything like that right now.
I will give the facts and lets see what the best option would be for anyone in my situation.
Table mount - screen size omitted because everyone freaks out if you go 8'1" or larger. No need to comment on size. Screen right now will be either...
This decision will be contingent on price alone.
1. New smooth foam rollered primed drywall with Behr UPW or KILZ 2 outside chance a DIY Goo copy (ala scoobi, crma, Mississippi posts)
2. High Power on DIY frame (waiting for Jason's quote)
Heres it is:
What are my options to remove the 4:3 burn from a 16:9 view? Note: The burn is an even pattern no text burn in.
Which option produces a better picture, clarity, color etc?
Which option hurts the tubes further, is this a concern?
Is it more advisable to live with the burn in and maximize the raster (whatever that means, I am new)
If the projector needs to go back further than the published spec - whats an average amount...10" back, 12" back 15" back
If I use the "move it back over by der" method does everything else have to be done by eye during the setup?
How does this effect alignment? Convergence? Angle of lense? Brightness? Anything I need to know before beginning on ALL these subjects?
I think that about covers it.
Hopefully I will be able to make a solid decision based on your experiences and others can use this post as a reference.
