My room is 11'7" x14'4". I am looking at buying a 120" screen. Since we're currently buying a house, cost is a factor, so I found these two screens. I'd love to hear from people who have experience with one or the other or both. What are the advantages? disadvantages? What is the quality of the screen material? How often does vapex have sales/discounts? ]]> Projectors jude5683 http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141521-jamestown-vapex-screen.html http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141435-painting-screen.html Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:34:16 GMT While I save up a few bucks for a decent screen, I decided to try some screen paint.It looks to be a light grayish color and my wall is a dark gray color..I'm also building a wooden frame around it and will paint that a flat black..The trim boards are 1x4...here is my progress so far :)

It an entry level Epson EX3212..The colors are nice and vibrant and picture quality is pretty good, for what it is...The problem I'm having is this checkerboard pattern in the background...Is this normal??..Am I sitting too close (10ft away)??..am I not setting it up correctly??
I am using the HDMI input, from a blu ray player and a cable box, but the pattern never goes away, even on the menu screen!!
I don't have a screen yet, so its just on the wall..I put a piece of white paper up to see if it would get better, and it got worse (see pic)
Will buying a screen make it all go away??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a optoma HD 20, and recently has developed a dark spot in the middle of the screen. I have tried cleaning the lenses and the glass in front of the bulb.

They don't seem instock at any other big store, but SeaBoom and PrintSavings both have them in stock, anyone have experience with them?

Anyhow, Amazon will cut me some slack if I decide today what I am going to do. Basically, I am left with three options in my mind (feel free to add more!) and need help deciding.

1. Buy the Acer H6510BD from another retailer that I don't know much about

2. Buy the ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector from a big retailer

3. Buy the BenQ W1070 from Amazon

The projector is going to be used in a bright-ish room (windows on one side) with a ~12-15ft viewing distance on a 120 FAVI screen (which I have already mounted).

The main reason I wanted the Acer H6510BD was for the 3,000 lumens and the 2D to 3D in-projector conversion, something I can't find in another sub-$1,000 projector that is 1080P.

Please help me make the decision!! What are your thoughts?!?! ]]> Projectors tomandjerry00 http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141374-need-asap-help-picking-projector.html http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141349-xv-z3000-lamp-question.html Thu, 30 May 2013 20:45:57 GMT I was able to get ahold of one of these projectors at a relatively cheap price on Craigslist. The bulb only had about 5% bulb life left. I ordered a new bulb from Newegg (one of their resellers). I have two issues.

1. The bulb from Newegg claimed to be an original lamp. It doesn't say OEM so I wasn't really sure. I received the lamp and nowhere does it say Sharp, so I really wonder if it is a OEM bulb (Search Newegg dot com for product # 9SIA2780P93306).
2. My real issue is that I swapped out the bulb with the new one purchased from newegg and tried to turn on the projector and couldn't get any power. I read the owner's manual and it says you have to reset the lamp hours via holding down a handful a buttons. I tried this and still no go. I decided to put the old lamp back in and it also will not allow me to power up the projector.

Any ideas on why this could be happening? ]]> Projectors groot http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141349-xv-z3000-lamp-question.html http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141272-cant-decide-jvc-dla-x35-epson-5020-a.html Thu, 23 May 2013 00:09:42 GMT After 2 years with an empty media room (empty actually meaning full of boxes and workout equipment) I'm finally ready to set it up. I've made my decision on everything except the projector. I'm stuck between the JVC DLA-X35 and the Epson 5020 (or 6020). Any suggestions? The room will be pitch black when lights are out and it has no windows. ]]> Projectors Scripts22 http://www.highdefforum.com/projectors/141272-cant-decide-jvc-dla-x35-epson-5020-a.html
