Hi,

Dusted down my old Barco 808, now that I have a room large enough to install it. Turned it on and, as far as I can ascertain, it still works Smile So far so good.

The max screen width I can feasibly accommodate is 2.6m or 102" (nice high ceiling too). I ran a 120" screen with it previously in a commercial environment, but am wondering what the optimal size would be for picture quality?

The room will be very dark, with very little ambient light, and we can assume a screen with 1.3 gain or perhaps slightly higher.

Thanks


Craig

I'd stick with the 102" wide. Should look great!
