Re: Home theater

I bought an infocus X1 about 2 years ago, it is really nice, but I had alot of light pollution which kills the picture, I bought this material at jo-ann fabrics that is very similar to projector screen material and used that. I also used the same material and some velcro and put it on my 2 windows to keep back light.

Lumens is IMO the thing to look for, 1100-1500 is doable, but when you get to 2200 Lumens the picture is perfectly bright. I also hook up my computer and i have a TV tuner I use with my projector, yes a TV is nice but for square footage, Price wise you can't compare. If you can deal with the minor hassle of blacking out windows with material you won't be let down.
