Hi, I'm new in the projector scene and looking at this projector. Wala ako alam sa projectors hehe. I will be putting it in my bedroom. My viewing distance is around 9 to 10 feet. I plan to put the projector around my viewing distance. Couple of questions
1, I don't like watching in the dark. Can I watch this with the full lights on? How about just a couple of ambient light in the back? Is this ok?
2. How big of a screen should I buy. 84 inches ok? Or can I go 90 to 100?
3. My walls and ceiling are all white.
Should I go for this? This will save me a lot of money rather going the led way (70 to 75 inches)
Thanks
1. No, viewing with full lights on will make the image washed out. A couple of lights on at the back will still cause washed out images. A DIY screen can combat ambient light, but not that much. Dont worry about watching in total darkness since this PJ is a light canon, it can still lit your room even with the lights off.
2. at 9 -10 ft viewing distance, 90-100" would be just fine.
3. white ceiling & walls will also contribute to washed out images, start with dark curtains for the wall (i.e. maroon, dark blue curtains).
Should you go for it? depends on you, audition 1st other member's set up before buying, saves money.
