My friend needs a projector. His room is a family room/kitchenette, so his wifes wants the projector on the back wall, which is about 22 ft back. He wants his screen to be around 110". The models he has available at a good cost are:
Marantz VP8600
Optoma HD8000
JVC RS1
He is open to other models, but these three he can get at good pricing.
I tried projector central's calculator, but wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at. There is a green slider bar that gives quite a range. It started saying things like, reduce image or increase brightess... hmm. Anyway, is there anyway to tell by looking at the projector how I can set the throw. I look at the JVC and it says "Zoom Lens with 2 times Throw Ratio (1.4:1-2.8:1)" What in tarnation does that compute to? Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
The other option is a cheap non-electric setup he could use to keep the projector high until he needs it, then he can pull it down. He looked at electic platforms and they cost a lot. Maybe a hydraulic bar or something? If anyone has any thoughts, you are da man. Thanks in advance.
