What have a better image in 110" screen?

Thanks

Is that 110" wide or diagonal?
Actually either 110" width or 110" diagonal is a bit too much for both projectors. 2m wide or 80" wide is a good size. Going (much) larger will drop the lightoutput significantly and especially will eat the tubes on the Cine7 much faster. Although the Cine7 is brighter, the tubes have to work a bit harder an will wear faster.

When compared, the Cine7 is the better projector, more updated electronics, better lenses. Both are color filtered.

I agree. I think I've had more failures in the Cine 7/70X series though due to the close proximity of the HV in the set to other parts. One HV arc, and something dies. OTOH, I stripped a Barco 708 the other day that had 59,000 hours on it, the highest hour count Barco I've ever had in.

Good thing there are a decent supply of parts for the Cine 7 and other 70X sets out there, repairs are usually cheap and pretty easy.

i looking for something with high reliability so probably repair my 800G could be the better choice...
