Re: Possible to get decent front projection for $3000 ?

Robert, good for you! I'm glad you're pleased. I think the thing that folks must keep in perspective is that you've paid $3000. Sure, the picture is not as good as a $15,000+ CRT unit. Does anyone out there really think it would be? But it is damn close. And it doesn't require a trained engineer to setup and maintain and it isn't the size of a Volkwagon Beetle hanging from you're ceiling.

As far as the ambient light comments, yes during the daylight hours I too leave the curtains open when just watching TV and such. Brightness is usually about 25%. When we watch a DVD, for that 'moviehouse experience', I prefer to darken the room completely and turn the brightness to zero. This for my setup produces the best blacks. I do not however have the DaLite screen such as you but rather just shoot it onto a home made screen that I constructed out of 2x2's and canvas painted 'pure white'.
