Re: Projector & Screen Recommendations

["Shmern" <shmern@xxxxxxx>]

While I agree CRT is probably higher quality than LCD, I wouldn't rule out<= BR> LCD/DLP until you have seen them. Certainly the Sony units get excellent reviews and for a low cost option the recent Panasonic LCD with 16:9 panel<= BR> come in around =A31200, Kenneth Watt has one of these LCD projectors.

I have a Toshiba MT1 LCD projector in my setup, along with an Owl 6 x 4
Electric screen, Im VERY happy with it.

You can view the current setup in the gallery section on my website
http://shmern.org

For your budget of =A32000 you should be able to get a brand new LCD projec= tor
and electric screen quite easy. If you goto CRT you will HAVE to go 2nd han= d
for it.

Also bear in mind the difference in size for a CRT, you WILL have to think<= BR> seriously about the ceiling mounting, as weight is a big consideration, and=
you WILL notice it in a room as they are quite big. LCD's have an advantage=
here in that they are very small, in fact in my room, people generally don'= t
notice anything until the Pronto macro drops the screen and turns on the projector.

Anyway if you have any specific questions about my setup, by all means
contact me.
