I have the ability to get a great deal on a Sanyo Z3 projector (half retail price). The problem is, I wont be able to afford getting a screen for maybe 6 months. Should I go ahead and get the projector and use the wall or just pass?

Hi,
Where do get the Z3 for that price????Comment

Even if the projector just sits in a box in your bedroom closet, this sounds like a very good deal for a new unit.
Many times in life one must take a long term view... I have a nearly new NEC 10PG projector whihc I picked up in May and may not be ablt to setup until December or January- but the price and condition (less than 500 hours) were definitely "right" for me.
One very inexpensive way to get a "small" screen for initial use is to buy a large piece of foam core white artboard. You can find this at art supply business, and also at places like "Office Max".
If this is the projector you want, then I'd go ahead and do it, especially at a special price that might only be available under special conditions.

Ya... my dilemma I guess is I am in the process of buying a house. It is great because the garage is insulated and airconditioned and I am going to finish converting it to a media room. A projector would make a nice final touch to my system.
We close on October 14th. I am told I have to buy this before the end of the month, or the opportunity goes away. It is through my work. My guilt comes because my fiance is sacrificing... and here I am looking at spending money, plus we are getting married november, 5th so I will need to have money for the honeymoon too.
I just keep coming back to the price being too good to be true...I'm just sittin here watchin the wheels go round and round...Comment

Pass man, you don't want to end up in the garage on your honeymoon.
But if the fiance knows up front, then go for it. That is a great deal. You can always start with a wall and a little custom shade of paint on that wall.The day is not complete if something new is not learnt.

Talk to her first. If you're honest and upfront with her you'll have a better chance. Had you both previously discussed this future media room? If she already knows about it, just explain that while it's earlier than you'd hoped the price is just to good to pass up. Money was being spent at some point regardless so what's the difference if it's now or later? Plus the fact that you can get it so rediculously cheap now will save money in the long run. Which will allow you to afford/pay off honeymoons etc faster anywayOriginally posted by sikoniko

Let's say I had the Optoma HD81 and wanted a 110" diaganol screen. According to this site I would have to have the Optoma at 17.7'. If I had only 16' to the back wall, would I just have to use a different projector, or do most projectors also have function to adjust screen size without moving... -

DVI,Component,Composite, is that the order from best to worst?.I was told that unless you were watching in HD that DVI doesn't make that much difference.Then component is the way to go? Well on the 4805 for instance you can go with component hookup but running it from my PC I only have one component...
