Wow!
|
For $500, you can get a 7 foot wide high quality image onto a DIY blackout screen.
You must darken the room, use the component connections and rout the audio to a separate receiver or stereo. It does take some savvy to get things right. You should also mount this to the ceiling. That cuts down on noticeability of the fan noise and means you can sit right underneath it, which is the best seat in the house. So, you need a 25 ft cable, and a ceiling mount ($150?). Although you can make that yourself.
Did I say wow, yet? The sharpness is very good, although you will see screen door if you sit too close and/or the image is too big. But I don't see screen door with the image 6 feet wide, with me 10 feet back. And you shouldn't be closer than that anyway.
You might be bothered by the rainbow effect, with B&W movies, sometimes. OTOH, I noticed it as soon as I got it, but it's never bothered me. You shouldn't be flickering your eyes back and forth fast when watching a movie anyway.
The best thing is the colors and blacks. The image has a soft quality that is great for movies, less good for sports. The difference between my home theater and the multiplex is that the Plex has an even bigger screen and the colors on it are a bit more saturated. But these front projectors offer the same type of experience as the real movies.
Don't bother connecting a ground cable signal to the projector via a VCR, the image is not good enough for the projector quality. Component connection is FAR better than composite.
I've had it for a year with no problems so far. |
