Hi,


I have just purchased an LT85 Projector and I need help to choose Screen size.

I have two options, 45" x 80" (92" diagonal-16x9) or 49" x 87" (100" diagonal-16x9). I will use mainly for Widescreen DVD (Progressive scan) and Cable NTSC Sports (4x3 in native mode).

I will sit at 15ft from the screen.

I would prefer the larger screen because, in 4x3 Native mode, the picture would be too small with the smaller screen.

But I have reservations regarding the larger screen would be to large for the SVGA LT85.


Thanks



Antonio

Could you give me your feedback on the lt85, I am thinking about buying one myself. Thanks.

Go for the 87" screen as SVGA DLP should be similar to XGA LCD and I sat 13 feet from 85" screen and it looked great without screendoor. The rule is 2x screen width for SVGA DLP which means 2X 87"=174" or 14.5' from screen. At 15 feet you should be OK

No doubt that the image would be better with the smaller screen, but it is really a personal preference. I'd try putting up a sheet or something and making the image each size. See which you think looks better, and expect it to be much better on an actual screen.


Thanks!
