Gerry Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thinking of buying a projector.Noticed that there are a few around the 200€ price. I know there are ones far more expensive, and probably far superior, but that is all my amdram society can afford.Second hand ones are OK. Any recommendations for or against particular models? It will be used on a small stage, 7 Mtrs X 7 Mtrs X 2.4 Mtrs high.Don't have a high level of stage lighting.Any thoughts?CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave m Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 You also need to think of where the projector will be situated. You may need a wide angle or long throw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need a wide angle or long throwI should have said a wide angle one.But at that price I might have to accept what is available.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Projecting what on to what? The requirements for a small screen are rather different to a full projected backdrop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Projecting still or moving images. Probably onto something like a 2 Mtr X 2 Mtr screen.Even if wanted to project onto a full size backdrop it would only be a max of about 6 mtrs x 2.4 mtrs. as I said before, it is only a small stage.cheersGerryCorrected screen size.

IRW Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Projecting still or moving images. Probably onto something like a 2 Mtr X 32 Mtr screen. I think you'll definitely want a wide angle projector for that... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleNAV Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Optima are ok if you want cheap, don't think a cheap one will do a 6m image very well tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
