Right im set to buy myself the Hitachi PJTX200W
The only problem i can forsee is the lighting and lumens situation. Basically im going to be running the project in a room with three 50watt spotlights in the centre. One large window at the opposite end of room .. rough dimensions of the room are 15ft x 11ft. Im currently thinking of having the projector placed at the back wall or possibly on a small table beside the sofa, about 10ft from wall to project on. Now to get to the point how far would the 1200 lumens get me when it comes to lighting. I have taken a look on this site: http://www.projectorpeople.com/tutorials/lumen-guide.asp and from what i can see im pretty much going to have to have curtains closed and lights off. When id prefer to have it running with lights dimmed or curtains open during the day. Would i be better off going for a higher lumen projector even if it sacrifices the contrast? Im look at spending around the £1000 mark on my project..currently found the hitachi going for £860 very tempting.
