Topic:   Sony VPL-VW100 horizontal lens shift

The Sony VPL-VW100 manual specifies the only possible lens horizontal shift adjustment as +/- 1 mm by screwdriver and augments with a small drawing lacking a scale. I need the shift as a +/- percentage of horizontal image width to be able to calculate the feasibility of a retrofit of the unit into an existing lift and screen setup that can't be altered easily. Sony second-level tech support doesn't know and claims they can't get the answer. I can't commit to buy a projector just to get the answer or to find out that the shift is not sufficient. Can anyone supply the answer or refer me to someone who has the answer?

Topic:   Question about Power conditioning for your projector

Power conditioning for your projector I am planning to have a ceiling mounted projector (Sony VLP-VW100. BTW, let me know if there is another one that comes close to its performance so I can save some $$$). The sales representative has pointed out that I MUST purchase a line conditioner. Well, it is all great; however, all my wires will be hidden behind the sheetrock, so here is a Million dollar question: Where can I possibly install the freaking line conditioner if I am planning to have a power outlet on the ceiling? Before you point out the obvious, please note that these power line conditioners are very big and very ugly. For all of you that have a projector installed on the ceiling: Any tips for installation (in addition to what is in the FAQ) While I was able to grab your attention, please let me know of any reviews or personal feedbacks for the screen that I am considering: Motorized Da-Lite with Pearlescent screen. Many Thanks, Max

Topic:   First projector..need help!!

I am finally taking the plunge and going for a projector. I have a $10,000 budget for the projector and am getting so many different options from every Hi-Fi store I go to that I am more confused than when I started. I was leaning towards the sony vpl-vw100 because i was told it has a very high contrast ratio (15,000:1). It's also 1080p; however I also know that it has relatively low lumen output of 800. I am putting a screen on the wall of my living room, and there will be some ambient light. Nothing I can't control, as I have blackout shades, but my girlfriend often reads with a light while I watch TV. Based on this situation does anyone have recommendations or general advice. Investing a lot into this and don't want to make the wrong decision. Thanks
