I finally was able to get a few tools and mess witht he ecp tonight. Needed a tweaker to adjust some of the pots on the power deflection boards. My dad had one from when he got his heathkit.

Anyways. I'm quite happy with getting this set-up mostly for the space I have and the screen I built.

The screen is a 93" diagonal 1.85:1 ratio. I followed the suggestions I found on here to build the screen. Except I used a painter's canvas drop cloth for the screening.

As far as the picture, I'm using the full width of the phospher, but I still need to bring the pj back about a foot.

Aside from the minor details, I'm quite happy with this projector. Rich colors, DEEP blacks. Can't wait to throw a 1080i picture at it.

I really need to setup the theater space quite differently. The ceiling has white tiles on it, the walls are a stained/poly wood paneling. Too much light reflection.

I'll post screen shots soon enough.

Congrats! Enjoy the setup!

If you're already using the full width of the phosphor, ther's no need to bring the PJ back a foot. That'll only make you use less phosphor (which you don't want to do).

I guess I didn't explain. I'm using full width phospher, but I'm not full width on the screen.
