Will order it this week. Thank you all so much!

If it wasn't for you guys I'd probably get the cheap Acer and be disappointed.

That's the projector I have right now. It's fairly awesome, tbh. Or, I should say, I have absolutely no complaints about it, but take that with a grain of salt as I am not a super high end consumer and it's only the 3rd projector I've had experience with. That aside, it's awesome.

Yeah Bert I wish for an Optoma projector. Couple days ago I was looking at this projector: http://www.optomaeurope.com/projectorde … mp;PC=HD65

Has a good res and HDMI. What do you guys think?
We got one of those for work not long ago, very clear image, can't comment on movie performance but, that's what it was designed for so I'd imagine it's pretty good.

Chuy have you tried projecting on the wall without the screen? Cos I haven't considered buying a screen as they are too expensive.

My screen came with the projector purchase -- kinda lucked out on that one myself.

Wall casting is fine if you have a flat wall. You can actually buy "projector paint" -- some kind of white/silver paint that has a much higher reflectivity value that normal white wall paint. Quite cheap if I recall too.

However, at the last place I lived it was just straight to a normal white wall in a dark room and it was never a problem.

Looks interesting, will definitely consider, especially if its transparent or white.

Not that expensive if you shop around.

There are places that do them quite cheap.

It's going to look terrible unless people know it's for a projector.

Like a extra-white rectangle splotched on an empty wall.

Its amazing.

Chuy, TSI do you guys also have a lighter frame around the projecting screen?

What do you mean? I just use a normal projector screen, Optoma Panoview Gray Wolf II.

I didn't mean the actual screen but around the projected image. Have a look at this pic, its almost invisible when its dark:

Nice.
Never saw those lines on mine though, probably because you're not running at full res?
