Baj Posted 20 May, 2009 Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Im looking at getting a projector for home use, mainly gaming. Not looking to spend any more than around £350. The question is, I have a perfect place to mount it on top of a book case, however, the wall it would cast onto would be at a horizontal angle, about 10 degrees I reckon. Ive not really played around with a lot of projectors, but remember the ones that I have can correct for this, but I'm not sure to what degree etc. Tempted by this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/160631 but really need to make sure it can correct for projecting at a horizontal angle. Anyone here with some good experience with projectors that can advise? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post-it note Posted 20 May, 2009 Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Most projectors these days should be able to adjust to that. The only differences are digital keystone correction and physical keystone correction. This might help explain them better than I can. http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainment/projector-thunderdome-variable-lens-shifting-vs-keystone-correction-217383.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 20 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Thanks mate. Just had a good read up on keystoning so got a better idea now, question is if the cheaper ones can do it. Angle is approximatley 30 degrees at a distance of about 3.5 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 20 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 May, 2009 Cheapest I can find it £100 over budget, and from the states http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&sku=576261&Q=&is=REG&A=details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 21 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 21 May, 2009 Think I'm going to have to pass up. I need one that supports HDMI and horizontal keystoning, and you've got to spend the best part of a grand for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
