Hi,

I am looking to re-position my 9500LC that uses HD10 lenses. Can I get them to throw 19' 8" and still use the full raster on a 133 diagonal screen?

If not would HD10gt26 lenses work for that?

Thanks

God bless...

I sell a set of HD180 (HD10GT-26).
In my post you can read the characteristics of lenses.

My PJ is 120 inches from my screen which is 4 x 8 feet or 108" diagonal. My rasters are almost fully maxed out.


You're looking at almost twice the throw distance of my setup but your screen is only 23 percent bigger.


Obviously this isn't going to work.


My recommendation is always to maximized your rasters, then position the PJ to get the screen size you want.


I think I don't have to explain the many reasons why you want those rasters maximized. But I'll recap, anyway.

More light output due to more engaged phosphor area.

Higher resolution capacity as scan line size is not variable. Only scan line spacing is variable, and when scan lines overlap,
you lose detail and effective resolution. Cramming a bunch of overlapped scan lines into the raster is not a win.

Longer tube life for a given contrast level.


You need to rethink your setup. Unless you're willing to compromise picture quality.
