Ceiling projector w/ data cable

[240 LTS]

DJ,

What about a projector for my garage.

The ceiling is 10'-6" and the width 30' wide so height and distance from the screen should not be an issue.

The ones we used in Howard Comm. College classrooms, I believe were in the $10,000 range maybe 6 years ago.

I have seen then for a few hundred dollars.

I recovered a large electric operated projection screen from the demo of the job I am on now. I believe it is 12' x 8'.

It would be cool to get a projector and hook up the lap top and cable TV.

Watching fishing shows, it will be as if we are on the boat with them!!

Super Bowl party etc...

What do you think?

I quickly found this as an example.

Can you get me the exact dimensions of the screen, or the model#?

Maybe I am missing something, you need the screen info to recommend a projector?

Draper SK 8 3865 The numbers are kinda hard to read. The 8's may be 0's

Thank you,

I installed a Dell (DLP I think is the type), about 5 years ago, in a media room I built over the garage. I bought an 101" electriclly remote controlled screen from Tiger Direct, and built a valance to hide it when it is retracted. The screen was about $200 and the projector about $850. I has worked perfectly, both from a high-def video player, remote TV tuner, and also slideshows that I have shown from my laptop.

It just helps to configure the throw distance, and if the screen needs a 12v trigger to work. I will let you know what I find the first of the week.

Looks like the projectors have a wide price range. Not sure how much money I want to spend at this time. Just trying to get a feel for price v.s. quality.

Thanks.
