munstergreen Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi all, We're looking into purchasing a Full HD (ideally!!) DLP projector to cover a series of live HD broadcasts in our theatre over the coming year. We're looking at a screen of up to about 32' wide, but we may end settling for in or around 28'/30' width. To achieve this I am reckoning on at least an 8000 Lumen machine but realistically 10k may be required and obviously we'd like to get as bright as possible. As I've indicated above, Full HD (1920x1080) would be great but I think greater brightness may be of more use in the long term for other events/applications where ambient light would be more of an issue and resolution less so. To this end, I think we may settle for displaying these broadcasts in 1280x720 with an SXGA+ projector. We are now looking at a few particular models of projector, so any advice that any one could offer would be great. These models are as follows: 1. Barco CLM HD82. Barco SLM R12+3. Christie DS+8K4. Christie DS+10K-M5. Christie HD10k-M Any thoughts/experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnparrack Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 To be honest you can't go wrong with any of these. The Christies are very good and very bright with easy setup and include Twist cards on the M series. I can rate them as full HD in the case of the 1920 panelled M series 10k as have used them in a variety ofd situations from single screen to widescreen soft edged gigs. The Barco SLM R12's are also very good projectors. All the projectors you mention are easy to sub hire should you require extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanHerbert Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I agree! Let me know if you require any pricing for screens or projectors. Be only too happy to help, I can also organise demo's if required!

lobba Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You might also want to consider the Panasonics, they are very light and easy to use and very reliable. http://www.panasonic.com/business/projecto...eries/index.asp Check out the Auto Cleaning Robot demo! Great for installs. Lobba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
