Re: best cheap ceiling mount for hd65

yeah thanks just asked the seller it is only 10mm ceiling to projector in the horizontal and no cable managment.

starting to think i might just be better of with a wall mount / shelf.

I need to know how badly tilt affects the image i might just have to try holding mine up and tilting it at different angles and see what happens.

thanks anyway.

Re: best cheap ceiling mount for hd65

I have a vogels mount.

The PQ is not afected at all even with a tad of keystone, there is no degredation on PQ.

I prefer it on the ceiling as its just neater, out the way and away from your ears for any fan noise.

I was going for a shelf but decided it would look awful stuck about 400mm out from my wall.
