I really need your help on this one. I am looking into buying one of the following projectors. A friend of mine is on his way to Germany, where he will get in touch with some projector dealers he regularly does business with and will try to find me on of the above machines. Assuming that their working condition is good, and they are all within the same price range (keeping my fingers crossed for a good deal on the 9500), what should I be careful about when making my final selection?
I have read quite a few posts on the Marquees requiring a mod to display a proper anamorphic image. Can you please clarify this for me?
Also, I believe that the 8500LC requires a longer throw distance than the 9500, since it has 8" tubes, but 9" lenses. Is that correct?
The room I will bwe using is 4.28m in length (168.5"), and the motorised screen I currently have is about 18cm (7") away from the wall. Although I will be changing this screen with a new one it will probably be in a similar setup. This leaves 161,5" (4.10m) as the total length available for the setup. I plan to use a 16:9 screen of 80"x45".
I would welcome any suggestion you can offer me because I am new to the CRT arena, and I can't wait to experience Home Theater as it was always meant to be: The CRT way!!!
Thanking you in advance,
Nicholas.
P.S. In case you were wondering why I would get a projector from Germany, I should tell you that I live in Athens, Greece, where there isn't much of a CRT market.
