I have a new living room with two large windows in the rear, which have slat blinds and not curtains (and don't want curtains there). I mean floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall windows. Big ones. The slats when "closed" of course still let a fair amount of ambient light in during the daytime -- which is fine, this is a main room, not a basement setup.
Did I mention an open kitchen and large sliding glass door to the right also? This room is fairly open in two directions.
Would the new Optoma HD20 (dlp) adequately service such a room during the day? Or should I be leaning to the Panny PT-AX200 light cannon? I am not worried about the resolution so much (I find my low-rez H31 fine for movies already) -- just that it has enough light for acceptable contrast and punch.
I'm going to ceiling mount and wall project with no screen over the fireplace so as to keep a simple clean looking room.
I've never had an LCD projector (but 3 DLPs), so I am also concerned about that since I have no experience with LCD projectors. That and the AX200 is a couple years on now.
(Yeah I still need to take measurements and estimate picture landing for the HD20.)
