Just starting to look at front projection now.
I have an Arcam FMJ-27 so any projector which supports prog scan will be favourable.
I've seen movies on a 6ft screen and it really didn't look big enough to me so I'm wondering just how big I can go and still maintain a sharp image?. 10ft-12ft would be a better size for my room, but 8ft would be OK.
I only watch OAR movies so I'd like a 16:9 screen.
Floor mounting is pretty essential. I've read in another thread about probs with floor mounting but my room is around 30ft high into a pitched roofspace.
The new dedicated HT room is very large (over 40ft x20ft) and completely blacking out the large arched shaped windows is going to be a real challenge.
Does any type/make of PJ spring to mind with these requirements?
I'm looking for second-hand, I'm guessing CRT will be the way to go. I'm limited to spending as little as I can to achieve what I need. I'll upgrade the PJ in the future but I'm intent on getting into my new HT room ASAP.
Thanks for any pointers,
Mark.
