Folks, I have decided to take the plunge and for go the HD65.
I need some suggestions on the screen.
I live in a rented place and have an awkward room where the PJ/screen is going to be placed.
The height of the room is 10 feet 9 inches. It is an old house (high ceilings).
I intend to have a drop-down screen (7' x 5') from a solid wooden bar going across the room. The bar will be at approx 7 feet from the floor. The screen will drop 5 feet down. I usually watch movies on the TV, so the screen will come just in front of the TV when it is dropped down.
Now the projector. Where I intend to place the Projector there is a window, so I have to place the projector on a shelf (I don't want ceiling mount) above that, so that is going to be approx 7 feet 3 inches or so above the floor.
So from 7 feet 3 inches height throwing the picture downwards, will the keystone problem arise. I believe you can adjust keystone to 40 degrees in the HD 65, or so says the manual (+- 40 degrees vertical). Here I will get a projection distance of around 10 feet.
The other option would be to place the PJ on a table top. But the distance will be 6 feet max from the screen.
Thanks in advance.
