NBPK402 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Youthman... Any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted July 7, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted July 7, 2014 Only update is my screen came in. It was HUGE! Like way too much fabric huge. LOL. When I told them I didn't want the "Precision Cut", I thought that meant that I wanted a non-angled 150" screen but instead, they sent me enough fabric for me to angle it myself and cut it myself. It was only about $20 difference so no biggie. Since I have the extra fabric, I'll angle and cut it. Wake will be working on building the front wall in his spare time so I'm not in a hurry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You are gonna love it! I am currently viewing the screen as about 150", and it looks great. The first night I had the screen partially installed and we were laying on the floor with it about 12' away and it looked great. Last night we watched a moving on the second row stage and it looked great. At no time have I been able to see the screen texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so nice to have it automatically zoom and focus in for a movie... That was the final bit I needed for the HT picture (besides needing a close throw projector with the same features so I can hit the last bit of picture size). Youthman... YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THE NEW SETUP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted July 10, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2014 Lens memory was THE deciding factor in going with the AE3000u. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm about to throw down on a projector with lens memory once I get my screen material back. Probably get the 8000 panny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not really needed if you don't have a scope screen. But I love being able to hit a button and go one aspect to another. I'm surprised more projectors don't have it. I was really shocked how few in the 3k and lower price range. The panny and jvc seem to be it. Sony has it in the higher end models. ( that was a year ago so not sure if more are around now). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
