I think this is all wonderful; however, my home has several windows. I'm thinking the biggest amount of space I can do with is 5 feet in width. Will I still be able to proceed?

Thanks,

This version of the projector creates a 1:1 image (roughtly) In other words, 1 foot away = 1 foot diagonal projection, so if the projector is 10 feet away, you will need a screen size of about 10 feet diagonal (8 feet x 6 feet). Move projector closer for smaller projected image.

dQbell,

Lumenlab will have a zoom lens soon that will help with longer throw distance. I would recommend using blackout to block the light from your windows.

Cheers,

What is the max screen size for the projector? I'm looking at 12' away from a 10 ' wall. Would I be able to use a 10' screen from that distance?

I was also wanting about seating position to the screen. Does the projector have the same viewing angle as a normal flat panel?

pj has a 1:1 ratio - 12ft away 12ft image

That would be 12' diagonal screen from 12' away. In 4:3 that would be 7.2' high by 9.6' wide.

What I'm trying to do is put the projector in a closet that is directly across from a 10' wall. Doing this I could not only hide the projector when it's not in use, have no keystoning problem, and could arrange the seating so I could use the closet for Dolby 6.1 or 7.1 speakers in the rear which would not be possible without it.

Anyone want to comment about viewing angles with the projector?

viewing angle is determined by the material you make the screen out of, not the projector. plain white cloth is no different for viewing angles than a television, while coated screens will be different and you would need to ask the seller of the material about it.
