Hello,
I’ve been putting together a cinema room for the last few weeks which is in a spare bedroom and consists of a 100” AT screen and I’m using a JVC HD350 for now which does produce quite a nice image. However I think the projector is slightly too close to the screen (off the top of my head it’s 2.9m) as I can’t quite get the image to fill my screen and there’s a 4” gap between the image and screen edge all around. I’ve zoomed it out to the max and messed with all the settings but it looks like I need to have more distance between the PJ and screen which I can’t do.
From looking online I need 3.01m to get a 100” image so not a million miles off but I can’t physically move the screen / Pj any further apart. I had a quick look at short throw lenses but they appear to cost nearly as much as a decent s/h projector, I’ve also seen the mirror trick but don’t really want to go down that route.
Are there any other PJ’s out there that work a little closer to the screen that’d fill my screen so something that works at about 2.9m or slightly less. I’d ideally like a JVC / Epson/ Sony.
I know I should of done a little more research maybe and gone for a slightly smaller screen but I never really considered it wouldn’t beam the required image as this is my first foray in to PJ’s.
Many thanks for any help.
