nope. the image cannot entirely fit the screen.

when making the screen, the measurement was taken with projector on the table. now the projector is hanging and the wall fixture length shorten the throw distance, hence reduce the projected image size. perhaps this is a lesson learned for DIY.

In retrospect.. u should hv fitted ur pj where u want it to go be4 u diy ur screen.. U should hv jus use de wall to get de actual size of img then do d screen..

I guess its too late now

Try using the zoom knob at the lens, maybe can fit still

the manual got projector screen calculator to make sure correct size and distance. anyway, you can now either reduce screen size or move the PJ back to the correct distance.

easiest to reduce screen size by making a black border around the screen.

I am wondering myself,
if my room isn't too big, maybe can put up a max 60" screen.
if choose HD project, after the screen and setup up definately more than RM15k
a Full HD 50" plasma also costs RM15k.
a Full HD 50" LCD maybe costs a little bit less.
What would you guy suggest?

Nope. 50" Full HD plasma I get it for less than RM 9k

RM300+

Better send your own 'Starscream' to our Bolehland. J_Vansen_S did that.
How about the 'budget' Infocus X10 (1080P)? I personally auditioned it on last Sat. Its PQ is quite good. The colour is nice too. The drawback is its sheer size. Anyway, this is one handsome pj (for me, at least).

Too bad Benq is not selling W5000 in Malaysia. Personally I feel Benq W5000 is a better buy then Infocus X10. With dual iris, it is possible to achieve On/Off contrast around 9000:1 measured plus firmware ver 2.01, you can adjust the color through CMS. I'm itchy to import one unit from US with current price of USD 2050. Black level for X10 is not so good and so is the HD803. Currently this is the bang of the buck projector if you want DLP. Still prefer DLP due to max sharpness and no motion lack.
