...you have good light control. I put in a black-out shutter in my room plus it's painted very dark. Look over at avsforum.com and see the video area. That's where I learned everything about the purchase I eventually made (Infocus X1 and 84" screen). All you have with a projector is a pull down screen and a small object on a coffee table or hanging from the ceiling. No big ugly TV between your speakers wrecking the soundstage.

Hi Grant - I read your messages about the picture quality of the InFocus X1 but I was wondering if you would comment on how it handles 16:9 widescreen DVD's in progressive scan mode. Also, this is a bit off topic but have you tried the X1 driven from a PC or Mac running a screen resolution of 1024x768? I see that the 'native resolution' of the X1 is 800x600 so I'm curious to know how well it handles a 1024x768 video input. I'm trying to justify possibly buying one if it can perform double-duty with my PC for presentations. My laptop PC runs at a default resolution of 1024x768. Thanks!
I personally don't run a PC at all with it, but I bet there are a ton of guys over at avsforum who do. Also, the website may be able to help you along with the resolution questions.
I am definately not a pro with this, I know I just love what I have and I am pretty picky.
Thanks Grant! You've done what I would like to do.How does the quality of front projection compare with one of the high tech TVs for picture quality? A quick search pulled up the newer Infocus SP4805 that looks interesting for the price. I'm not interested in anything over this pricepoint.
No offense to the posters below, but my speakers are not the typcial "stereo" speaks..... bass bins are 15" Altec 515s as used in the VOT systems ;-)
TIA,
Jim D.
Although it's not quite that of a CRT, it's not nearly as far behind as one would think. I knew I wanted a bigger set then the 35" Sony that was in there (now doing bedroom duty) and I wanted to improve my soundstage. I bought on a whim by what the guys at avsforum recommended and took my chances. Both my wife and I were VERY surprised. The quality is much better than we anticipated. On standard cable it's a little fuzzy but it would be on any set near that size. When I bought mine they had a return policy... can't go wrong there. My brother just came over and saw it for the first time and was amazed at the picture.....
