Projector Mount

by seenalot Apr 2, 2005 9:43AM PST

I finally decided on the Sanyo PLV-Z3. http://www.projectorpackages.com/newsite/projectors/Hometheater/PLV-Z3.htm
I was worried about the mount, but it worked out fine. http://www.projectorpackages.com/newsite/Mounts/BlackMount.htm
Placement seemed to be more than I was expecting. The Z3 didn't have to be centered in my room. I put it off to the side since my ceiling fan was in the way. I was amazed that it was still able to make a square image because of lens shift.

Did you have to have a special screen or was it just a white wall? How is the brightness? would you recommend it?

its probably too late for you, but I recommend against using any of the digital keystone correction provided by any display unit... simply because you lose picture quality by using it. Also... for Art & anybody else interested... yes I recommend a forward projection setup. I project onto a flat white wall right now, & it works amazing. Check these out:

You should try www.projectormountstore.com

they sell extensions of just about every length so you can set up without keystone correction issues.
