hum well that’s kind of disappointing to hear. Being that I’ve had that screen less then 30 days and i haven’t opened it up yet do you have any suggestions on a good screen to get? I had an old 1024x768 projector before i got the sony and had that projected onto the wall. Not the best picture quality. Stepping up to the sony wanted a good screen and to keep the price down if at all possible. I have about $450 in that previous screen. I would like to keep it at or around $800 at the most. Though i'd rather do it once and do it right so i can give a little on that price. I like the idea of having a fixed wall screen so i dont have to worry about my wife messing up the screen trying to open and close a pull down one. Any help would be appreciated as I’m new to the home theater using a projector. Size screen do you recommend? this projector is in a basement. the main chairs will be about 15ft away from the screen. It does have 3 windows and a door but those will be covered with blinds and a heavy cover on top of that to block out almost 100% of the light. This will be for watching movies 95% of the time. i kind of like the looks of the Carada Citerion. Good screen? http://www.carada.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=PROJECTION-SCREEN-H106C

I have a high ceiling with a 30 inch drop distance from the ceiling to the top edge of the projection screen image. Is it necessary to have the projector lens at least be inline with the top edge of the screen (i.e. projector on a 30 inch pole)? Are there adjustments that can be made to the Bravia VPL-VW40 lens to reduce the length of the ceiling drop? If so, will I ultimately sacrifice image quality if I take that approach? Note: The room is set up in such a way that a coffee table mount isn't feasible.
