I've had a JVC X35 in a dedicated HT type of room but had to redo it into a family room and have moved away from the X35. I have to contend with white ceiling, and light gray walls with some ambient light coming from behind the projector. So I'm looking at the big 3 (ae8000,5030, and hw40). What i wonder is how badly will the contrast be reduced with the ambient light and walls, and does it even make sense to buy one of these or just go with a benq 1075? Right now I'm leaning on the Sony due to the calibrated lumens and given i have a 106 screen which should be easy to light up for these 3 but may paint it gray to help out with ambient lighting..
Thanks for the help
