Are people with square rooms even allowed to have projectors? Yes! The bylaws have been amended! But you can't show 16:9, 1:85 or even 4:3 images. They have to by 4:4.

That certainly explains why why your avatar looks all warped and fishbowled.

I am reviving this old thread as I finally took the plunge and have a new lens on pre-order.
I hate selling stuff.
However, the offer still stands. If anyone in this wee lil' A/V community wants to get into the 2.35 CIH game, this might be a financially advantageous opportunity for you. I haven't even figured out how much to ask for the lens (prob about 50 cents on the dollar of purchase price). I'm not in a hurry. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.

Hmmm, I'd hate to miss a steal, but I'm not ready to look at projectors yet. Can either of you link me to some reading on the subject so I can brush up?

Here is a desctiption of the process, but I'm sure googling will show other sites. Basically, you have to have a projector or dvd player that will stretch the image vertically and reclaim the lost pixels taken up by the black bars, about 33%. This is different that zooming, which only moves the black bars off the screen, and does not reclaim those lost pixels and brightness. Then, the lens stretches the image back out horizontally, to make it look normal again. Your screen has to be a 2.35 aspect ratio also. http://www.prismasonic.com/english/intro.shtml

I'll be in the market for one of these, one of these days. I Googled for Prismasonic H600, but I can't find a picture of it. I was just wondering how big it is and what the reviews said about it? Haven't checked AVS forums yet.
