I have just installed my first budget theater. It consists of an Epson Ex70 and 109" Draper manual Matte white screen. Unfortunately, I cannot change the the room colors. White ceiling, tan walls, and creame rug. I am having contrast problems and probably should have gone with a gray screen. Does anyone have setting advice to improve the contrast. I have lowered the brightness to the lowest settings, but the blacks still seem a little washed out and the colors do not pop. The room is small, I'm projecting from around 13'6" and the screen cover 90% of the wall. I am zoomed to the min. to get the size to 109" 16:10 screen. I only view at night with total light control.
I'm looking for a projector with nice set of features to use for showing family presentations at parties, movies through my blu-ray player on my deck, avi and mpg files through my computer. I would say definitely something portable. I'm liking the nice 7 watt speakers on the Epson (tested it out, sounds great!) many different input options in the back (usb, sd card, stereo audio) and the fact it's a newer product but I'm also seing the Optoma is very popular, has now great price and better lumens. I'm not sure about quality and lifespan between the one vs the other. So I need advice on what to sacrifice from when buying myself a budget projector.
Thank you!!!
I just bought an Epson EX70, it is working fine, But when I use the USB connection the picture laggs. It is not possible to watch movies at all. Tried it with couple of different computers. Same thing..
Anybody know if it is common with these projectors? Or I should ask for a replacement? Or maybe someone knows what the problem is?
THANKS
