Howdy.
I've been lurking here for about 3 weeks and am thankful for all the great information that has been so helpful in my pursuit of bigger tv.
I won a Sharp QA 1500 on ebay and it arrived today.On my way home from work,I went to my library (I work for the parks dept.)and borrowed a 3M 9080 OHP.
Once home I first set it up with my computer and watched Finding Nemo on the white curtains with my kids.They loved the big picture.Then,when they went to bed,I set it up outside.
I am now watching Pink Floyd at Pompeii in my front yard.Woohoo!!!
I'm using the composite input with a macrovision disabled Apex DVD player.
I now need a taller table to adjust for the trapazoid effect.
For the screen,I'll hang two sheets of white masonite on the wall.
Inside,if I can convince my wife,I plan to hang a silver screen in front of the enterainment center only as needed.

Me again.I meant to attach this photo first.Here's where I am projecting my image.I measured the picture across the base and it is 102".I'll try to get the diagonal measurement today.
I took a walk down to the ballfields where my house overlooks,(I'm the caretaker at a city park),and I could see the image from across two ballfields.From that distance,it looked great!Kind of like driving by a drive-in theater.

Hi Renez,
I rarely watch TV, know nothing about projectors but do like Pink Floyd (now and then :D ).
So we have something in common. :cool:
