Room attributes are as follows:
full light controlled dedicated room with dark colors used throughout.
The screen is a 11 foot wide curved scope Studiotek microperfed Stewart screen. Black masking is created by movable curtains.
The 16:9 portion of the screen is 8.3 feet wide.
I use a prismasonic lens to horizontally stretch the image to 11 feet wide and a DVDO VP50 scaler.
My front seating positon is approximately 11 feet back. Using a 720p Sim2 projector, pixels are barely noticeable if you are looking for them. In the second row, 18 feet back, pixels are not noticeable at all.
As we have 5 seats in the second row, a little bit of visable pixels are not really a big concern. Besides, guests usually sit in the front row and they typically dont know much about visible pixels anyway.
What are peoples thoughts on the choice between the two projectors in my application?
Is it really worth the extra dollars to go with the Sim2 1080p or the recently announced lumis host.
I am leaning towards sticking with the Sim2 C3Xe 720p projector. The price difference is substantial.
Comments are appreciated.
