Hi, all. My father in law is building the mother of all RVs using a passenger bus. He was looking at putting in a plasma wide screen directly behind the driver seat that would flip down from the ceiling. I talked him out of it, though, because plasma doesn't travel to well. So he is asking about a front projection system...
He is interested in something that will give him a picture about 50-60 inches diag. The projector would have to be durable and small enough to be ceiling mounted on a retractable mount. He is also looking for quality for the money. His bus is being designed by the same company that builds John Madden's tour bus. He is building it himself, well his company is, anyway.
Any suggestions? Any considerations that should be made?
You guys are the pros and I have had advice from all of your postings and appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Drew

That's cool, dude, but a bit of a poser. I'm not sure if you would want to go with front projection, as I'm assuming you want this thing to work while the bus is in motion. With a solid state display (all in one unit) you have a bit of vibration. But with projection, you have double the vibration to worry about--that of the projector and that of the screen. Since they may possibly or even likely not be vibrating together, your picture may be jumping (slightly, depending on the road conditions, speed, bus shocks, etc) around on the screen. This could be distracting.
