I'm in the market soon for a home theater projector and screen for outside use. I'm wondering about a few things:
- How high of an angle and how far away from the screen can I expect to mount the projector? I want to be able to show football games and such without losing a lot of yard space due to screen blockage. My ideal setup would be to mount the permanently or semi-permanently under the eaves of my house and allow it to project through the yard onto a screen mounted on my wood privacy fence, but if I lose all the yard between the projector and screen, that's no good. My guess would be that stretching a string between the projector lens and the base of the screen will tell me what area will block the image.
-Will I be able to use this in the daytime, or just I expect to only be able to use it at night? I've been seeing the brightness ratings on a few models I've looked at, but I don't really know what the numbers translate to in usage.
-Do you thing it would be too distracting to have the speakers in a place other than at the screen?
I have to do this as cheaply as possible. Suggestions are appreciated.
