    Worst case with direct afternoon sun. Several windows and, all lights on, etc.



    Just shutting the blinds on that one window closes to it:


    These were taken with my cell phone, and the image is MUCH clearer and sharper in real life.

    I have an epson 5030ub, about 16' away from the 110" screen.

      seating distance
      screen

      all should be considered especially if you plan on using it as a primary display
      Ill agree with that, but the screen makes a MAJOR difference.

        Screen does make a huge difference.

          120" fixed screen from VisualApex at 15' away.

          15' is the absolute minimum distance for this projector. I'm actually losing 3" (diagonal) of image in velvet frame. When I first set it up, without the frame, I went corner to corner of the wall and it was very clear on the bare sheetrock. The screen increased the brightness and clarity though.

            Same room setup how would this one compare to the one that you have?

              It's brighter then mine, but my contrast ratio is 600,000:1 vs the 20,000:1.

                    Aren't contrast numbers one of those things that are not very accurate and can be skewed easily by the mfg?

                      It is, but the epson is considered one of the best for blacks.

                          I have a Hitachi, we sell a ton of them, primarily for commercial applications, but I got a good deal so I couldn't pass it up.

                            FWIW, I just bought (2) 50" Samsung Plasmas in a 720P format! I'm going backwards! For the rooms that I was buying for, they'll be just fine and helped keep cost down. If I want big and clear, that's what the media room is for.

                              After hearing the input and seeing the pictures I am in. My wife and I want to arrange our living room where TV is above fireplace, do not want to hang an actual TV there so projector I think is the answer. We have room for an 80" 16:9 screen. I think it will be perfect but do not need a 120" screen.

                              How will this effect choice of projector since it will be such a smaller image. How close will projector need to be to get that size image. We will be sitting around 11' away from the screen. Would one of the 600-800$ #'s work just as good for that small of screen?

                                That price range will be perfect. 15' throws 120" at minimum. 10' - 11' should get you close to that 80" target.
