Hi All,
Been looking into getting a projector in the lounge as finally got the approval from the 'better half'. Looked at the Benq 6050 UST, and now out of stock and don't look like returning from Richersounds. Looking at alternatives and not sure some of them meet my requirements, plus I may have under estimated the distance it would stick out from the wall!
Now looking at possibly a Benq W2700 as the distance wall to wall in my lounge is only 3.3 mtrs. Taking into account drop down screen, as will drop in front of TV, and projector depth I think I can get a 92/100" screen from the Benq W2700 which would meet my needs. Gaming, blacks and noise is a compromise, but the 3D should be good. Not sure if I suffer from rainbow effect as never seen one before (assuming I'll notice this fairly easy on booting up and testing against the wall paper before purchasing the screen?). I can return if not suitable.
One thing I'm not sure on is the screen. Been looking at ALR grey screens as it's a lovely bright lounge and south facing (joy!), reasonably dark at night with the lights out but that wont be the case once the projector is on! I came across these two. (providing links are allowed)
Vividstorm - Drop Down ALR Screen for Standard Projectors from Keene, product code VSDROPDOWNSCREENSP
Gain 0.8
Viewing Angle 150 degrees
and the
Draper Euroscreen React 3 from IdealAV
Gain 1.0
Viewing Angle 76 degrees
From previous recollection the React screens tend to be expensive (happy to be corrected), I haven't confirmed price yet, but fundamentally, what's the likely difference between the two screens other than price? Any one know?
Cheers

Please call to arrange a demonstration of this fantastic light rejecting screen, i've seen nothing to beat this surface yet and i'm constantly on the lookout for a better alternative which so far is impossible to find you won't be disappointed as this screen will allow you to use your projector...
