Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Panny ax100 vs Hitachi Ultravision S6500

ok, new question. My ceiling is only 7ft.6in high. I want to mount the projector there. Does this cause me any issues that I need to know about??? Lately it looks like the sanyo z5 might be best for my room since I have adjustable lighting in my room and it is in the basement were I have no ambient light. Anyway, what considerations am I missing. I would hate to buy a projector and it not be as good as my tv I already have. That would not work well for the wife I bet. I have decided to build the superchuncks in the corners of my front walls so I will be making a slightly smaller sreen around 91 in wide instead of 92. The projector will be mounted about 19 ft back from the wall. Thanks guys.

Other than whacking your head, I can't think of any problems. Depending on the screen you go with, you WANT some angle between the projector and the screen but you don't need a great deal. It's actually better to have the project lens center pretty close to the top of the screen so you don't have to use so much lens shift.

I've been playing with my Stewart Firehawk the last day or so. So far I'm more than impressed. It's a lot darker grey than my last screen, but the image is brighter. I had to recalibrate my projector brightness and contrast a fair amount (reduce both). Even with the blinds open on the window I get a great picture.

If you know how to take a good screen shot with a dig camera and give me some tips, I'll take some screen shots and post them.

Hello
What size screen will I be able to get if I use the ax100
in a 14' room?

My scope just crept. Thanks a lot, Mike.

You're more than welcome Tom. Anything to help you out. Oh ya, I forgot to mention that I have the DVDO VP-50 in the loop now. Or how absolutely stunning SD DVD's look, or how much it improves SD satellite......I probably shouldn't mention those particulars to you in fear of contributing to more scope creep.

.......it does a fantastic job of deinterlacing 1080i as well. HD DVD's routed through this thing are like looking through spotless glass.....I wont' mention that either......
