Q's for all the projector experts.
Hello,
I have recently started researching projectors as a solution to my TV upgrade. I am currently interested in the sanyo Z2 or the Panasonic L500U. I am renting my house and in my current place I think I will be limited to projecting an image ~80" diagonal. I will also have total control over ambient light, although while playing video games and watching sports I will want a little light.
At what offset from side to side will the screen become noticabley trapazoidal, and a keystone adjustment will be needed. Ceiling mounting is not out of the question, Im just looking at all my options.
I have read many reviews on the sanyo and panasonic, and in only one have I heard mention of black levels looking grey. Is this most likely because of the screen choice, or is this an unavoidable limitaion of these projectors
What type of screen choices would you recomend for these projectors. Projectorcentral.com mentioned a low gain, high contrast gray. are there any other recomendations.
I plan to hook up a DVD player(DVI I assume) and XBOX(component) to the pj. Are there any length restrictions for these types of connections, because most likey the dvd player and surround sound reciever will be located behind the viewing position and the xbox will be in front.
Thanks for any help
