Just need a little advice on screen sizes for the HC5000. After two weeks of reading these forums like mad along with projectoreviews.com I have decided to go for the Epson TW1000 or the Mistibishi HC5000 as my first ever projector. I have read that the Epson is bright enough for a large screen whilst the other 1080p entry level projectors aren't that well equipped for a screen >100".
I will be sitting 12' away from the screen. Mostly I will be using the projector to view films at night so there will not be too much of a problem with ambient light although I will be also using the projector once a week in a sunny room to view chumpions league football. I will also be bashing it with some xbox 360 in a dimly lit room.
If the projector is good enough for use in daytime (with curtains drawn) can somebody please point me in the right direction for a suitable screen. I really would like a huge 110"+ screen. I would prefer motorized and my budget is around £500 altough I dont mind a pull down screen at all if the quality is better.
.....or should I just buy a ax100 for now and upgrade to the JVC 1080p daddy in a years time.....surely even my fussy eyes wont know any better lol
