Opinions on Sony short throw projectors
I saw a Sony short throw projector , it was maybe 8-10 inches from a 120 inch screen picture looked great even with all the lights on in the room . I am considering this for my place in Florida . Anyone have experience pro or con ?

I think that dollar for dollar and overall performance under all lighting conditions a full array local dimming LCD or an OLED television makes better sense unless the projector is going to be installed in a dedicated room that can take full advantage of external light control. Sony's newest 2019 premium 85" LCD, the X950G 85 Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV with HDR (XBR85X950G) is less the $5K. That's the way to go.

I agree with many of the things that jdandy pointed out. However, imo a 85 inch TV is too small for what I would consider a "home theather". When one is talking 120 inch, only a projector will do. To put in in perspective, a 120 inch diagonal screen has twice the area of a 85 inch diagonal TV. With the right amount of light control (and it does not have to be 100% dark) there is just no comparison in terms of the visual impact of a 120 inch screen.

Minimum viewing distance should be at least 20 ft away for a 120" screen according to the experts. Are you sure you need 120" ?

According to that website, viewing distances would be: Width of your TV or Screen (Not the diagonal length) X 2 = minimum distance Width of your TV or Screen (Not the diagonal length) X 5 = maximum distance For a 120 diagonal, the width of a 16:9 screen is 104.6 inches, so... Minimum distance = 17.4 feet Maximum distance = 43.6 feet. My screen size is 116 inches. I sit about 17 feet from the screen. The room is multipurpose music, theater, entertainment. It is not dark or designed as a cave. It has three normal windows but with blinds and/or blackout shades you can make it as dark as you want. Last edited by nicoff; 05-22-2019 at 04:17 PM. |
