well,i went to the projector calculator on projector central.com,and if i go with the benq 7800 i will be able to get roughly 150 inch diagonal screen in 16:9(BOING) it measured something like 132 inches wide by 75 high.the stanley cup games will definetly be at my house this year if i get it....unless im in jersey watching my devils take it home(probably not this year)anyway-im a little concerned about pq when going to such a big picture,so im going to head out to some stores over the weekend to see what i can find,hopefully i can get to try a display model in my home....thanks again for all replies....ron
