Hi,
I know there are lots of threads about screens here - I have been reading them, but they dont quite answer all of my questions ! So would you please help and share your experiences !
My living room / HT is not ideal - it has cream walls, a white ceiling and the screen will be at one end (where there is a large window/door to the garden. The plan is to ceiling mount a Sony VPL-vw12HT and project onto a screen of some 80" - 90" across - seating distance will range from 9' - 10', but mainly 14'.
Ideally I would like an electric mechanism, but more importantly,
Should I go for grey or matt white ?
How prone are screens to RIPPLE (horizontal creasing after being stored for a 2-3 wks) and curling ? - especially at the edges ?
Budget is £700 ish and I have found that the Direkt2u screens at www.Direkt2u.co.uk screens do fit into this budget - does anyone have any experience of using them - especially the 1mm thick materials ? Also, some the screens Gordon sells might fit into the budget too (maybe pull down though)
Also, where can I buy long (ish) component video cables (phono- phono) to connect from the PJ to my DVD player ?
Thanks for your help !
