Hi welcome to the forums, glad you are enjoying them.
The DIY forum is really for self build projects and assistance etc, i have therefore moved this thread to projectors as you will get a quicker response from there

Hi

Thanks for your help, looking forward to your replies.

Hi Nick,and welcome to the forums. I to also had a PTAE300,this is a cracking projecter,old but good and great for your first PJ. I had mine mounted on the ceiling along with me screen and it all worked well for me,my hight was also 9 foot.I did use an electric screen, but if your looking for a screen then read up on lots of em as screens have differant gains on them. Some screen will work better with your projector than others
