I went to the projector store and bought a Dell 2300MP http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/p...c=uk&l=en&s=lca Single Chip DDR DLP 2300 ANSI Lumens 2100:1 Contrast 1024 x 768 Native Resolution (1600 x 1200 max) Manual Zoom, focus & keystone 62.5cm - 750cm Projection Screen Size The Dell projector did give me exelent picture, bright and nice colors. This projector was designed as a bussines projector not as a Ht projector so he was surpisingly good as a HT projector I desided to return it mainly becouse of the 4:3 res and the lens, the dell projector needs to be 4 to 7 meters away from the screen, space I dont have Instead I got an slightly more expensive Epson TW200H http://www.epson.co.uk/products/vid.../EMP-TW200H.htm LCD 1500 ANSI Lumens 1000:1 Contrast 1280 x 720 Native Resolution (1600 x 1200 max) Power Zoom, focus & keystone 1.33-13.65m Projection Screen Size I find the Epson picture not as clear, a little fussi and seams out of focus or has a gray haze over it. This might be a setup problem? I know nothing about projectors. My question is wich projector would you recomend? Thank you __________________ Best regards Geiri _________________________________ Paradigm: Monitor 11, CC-370 & PW-2200 Subwoofer Marantz Rs 7200 Last edited by Geiri : 03-22-2005 at 09:33 PM.

You could try to adjust sharpness to but usually people want to lower sharpness so that the SDE lines blend a little better. Maybe consider a third option for a projector. http://www.digitalliquidators.com/d...p?id=opezpro751 __________________ Panasonic PT-50LC14 Motorola 3412 STB (Comcast) SA-VE367T 7.1 Sony Home Theater Speaker System STR-DE897S 7.1 Sony Surround Sound Receiver X-Box, Panasonic DVD-RV30, Lutron Maestro IR, Harmony 880 Audio/Video Enthusiast

The projector on the link is also a unit earmarked for bussiness applications but has some pretty impressive specs for the price. I'll be checking it out in action this weekend, I am sure it will be fine in a home theater application and should handle the different aspect ratios. You can also check out Optoma's site. Good luck. http://www.optomausa.com/optomausa/...s_bproj_751.jsp __________________ Panasonic PT-50LC14 Motorola 3412 STB (Comcast) SA-VE367T 7.1 Sony Home Theater Speaker System STR-DE897S 7.1 Sony Surround Sound Receiver X-Box, Panasonic DVD-RV30, Lutron Maestro IR, Harmony 880 Audio/Video Enthusiast
