Having just sold my Seleco 400 Plus this week end to a nice chap from London. I'm now looking forward to finally going ahead & up grading. The only snag is that my H/C room appears to be too short. (damit!)
My plan was to replace the Seleco with a Barco graphics 808. The room is only 11ft 6 inches long and I already have a six foot screen, which I want to keep. I asked Roland at B4 to calculate how much throw a BG808 would require if it were ceiling mounted.
Roland states that if I squeezed an 808 into the room I would get a 5ft 3inch image. A 1208 would be even less.
He's warned me that an 808 might be slightly over bearing for a room of this size. This really doesn't bother me too much. I have a dedicated room & I consider CRT's to be a thing of beauty. (Image quality is every thing!)
This has left me with a dilema. Do I still I still go for my dream machine and change the screen and make do with a 5ft picture or should I reconcider my options and perhaps look at a Barco 708.
