Makes my 27" Sony CRT look really stupid. Green with envy.

Is that a fat head?
:p

Nice brightness from the projo, how is the side viewing? Can people sitting at an angle from the screen see it ok?

[Charlutz]

It is a fathead. :)

Side viewing is just fine. No degradation to speak of. AX200 is really bright as PJs go. It;s hard to get something that works both for football parties where you want some light in the room and movie watching where you want a lot of detail in the dark scenes and so you want the lights totally off. I like both, so I went with a real bright PJ and a slightly greyish color for the screen to help with the blacks. I like the balance, but I'll probably be tweaking it. Can always repaint the screen with what I have now if I screw it up. There are some real good paint mixers on the DIY screen forum on avsforum.

There's Giants, Yankees and Boston College stuff all over the walls not in the pix. I dig my fathead!

Yup, that'd be the REALLY long line around the corner. Of course, if she's doing the hobbit, you probably have a shot. :eek:
