just my white wall right now, but it still looks pretty damn good

I'm thinking about making my own later.

Shooting onto an offwhite wall looked not so great before, but in my new place with a white wall it looks almost as good as when I had a screen going.

What movie are you watching?

Did you calibrate it yet?

EDIT: Infocus 4805 for $699 AR if anyone is interested. (rebate is through infocus?)

I haven't calibrated it yet, didn't get the time to mess with it. That infocus is nice....it has DVI?!

ohh i been thinking of getting something for my basement. i have a "family room" type thing where i was planning on turning into a guys get away type place.

was thinking one of these (room is 10x14) a bar with beer tap and a some arcade games! or maybe a pool table instead of the TV.

how do the $700 ones look? i was told on another fourom to NOT get one under $1500 . i just want something where football and movies look good.

if that's the case, the infocus or the 1100mp is perfect

if you're not connecting a computer to it, the lower end models work just fine. And, if you're installing it in a basement, then it's even better. If the room gets too much day light, the screen quality will suffer....which is why normal TV's are better for daytime viewing. But if you're in a basement, then it doesn't matter, it will look good all day

oh man, i am so envious. I want a projector so bad, but i can't afford the ones I like. Kudos to you, and have fun

It has an "M1" input I think... but you can get a DVI to M1 adapter from infocus.

I love my 4805. I got it for $999 with a screen back in winter.

Projectors have been coming down in price a lot so you can get a nice one for pretty cheap now. If you don't need HD, the 4805 would be a great choice.

Have you seen a DLP in person yet to check if you see rainbows?

You have a light controlled room, right?

See My HT thread. I'm using that Infocus 4805...it looks amazing imho for the price. I'd have had to pay 2x as much for maybe %25 gain realistically.

wow, my tv looks so small

Isn't it great?

I made a little scale chart when I was considering getting a "big" monitor

I will be possibly upgrading my Toshiba 32" set (Cinema Series without onboard audio, bought several years ago, but still excellent).

How do the $700-1000 projectors (final price street, not MSRP) compare to CRTs?

Also thinking of dropping 2x+ more for a flat panel.

I am not sure of my final viewing room as I am looking now for a house purchase early 2006.

hmm then might look into them.

one said those cheaper ones don't do real HD picture. so was alittle worried about that.
I already have a 5.1 system i can use. just need the projector and screen.,

My buddy's projector screen

It's the only way to watch movies. But watching it hanging it from the ceiling gets tiring after a while.

Is that in a classroom?

You can get in-ceiling screens.
