Bit of advice please.
I have a Sony VPL-HS1 in the 7 months that I've had it, I've only used it for 36 hours!!
My little boy will not leave it alone if I leave it anywhere and setting it up is a bit of a pain. It has to be in the middle of the floor on a table.
I usually watch it on the free screen that came with it, about 50" wide, approx 9 feet away.
I would like to site it on a unit I have, so keeping it out of reach of my little 'un, and have the screen on the opposite wall. Problems are;
1, The wall is about 18 feet distance which gives an image of about 7 feet wide, nice, so a new screen required.
2, The wall is the fireplace end, so the wall has two alcoves. The width of the fireplace is 5 feet. So the screen will be 1 foot wider either side with the alcoves behind them. So a fixed screen is not possible.
I was thinking about getting a pull down screen and although the the unit will jutt out 1 foot either side, because it will be up high it won't look so stupid!!
Has anyone else had to compromise like this, or has anyone any suggestions that might help ( no I will not foster out my little boy or send him to boarding school )
It is not practical to site the projector anywhere else.
Cheers
