Hi,

Recently i have bought SONY VPL-HW50ES.

d) Any other common tips based on your experience?

3) Screen Maintenance (Fixed Screen)

a) How to avoid dust formation?
b) Avoid heat impact from wall to screen (Fixed screen) ?
(Wall/Room temparatur will be very hight during peak summar)
c) Any other common tips based on your experience?

UPS - yes, if frequent power disruption happens. At my place in bglr, power is cut is not much but still I went for it fearing PJ lamp failure.

AC - not needed for PJ but only for human comfort. PJ's dont generate that kind of heat to ask for an a/c.

Ventilation - You can keep your wooden rack front open while equipments are in use (if using rack).

screen - Check with ur screen provider if you can wipe of any dirt with mild damp cloths. should be ok, thats what my person told.

dust formation - if dedicated room, always keep it closed. But open it for a few hrs/day during night for better air circulation(dont open the windows or doors while house is getting cleaned/swept by maid or during peak traffic hours if your house is on the main road). Or you can make a custom cloth cover for the PJ covering its ventilated areas atleast.
