Streetdaddy,
I have my entire system in my greatroom, which puts a premium on controlling light in a typical Florida home. But we sit 14 feet from our 92" screen, the projector is right overhead but is very quiet (we've had the InFocus Screenplay 110 for 5 years now and will be in the market for a replacement next year, probably Sony. We have been very happy with the performance of this system, especially for the price and we're still happy with it even though the technology is over 5 years old now.
We also have a 42" plasma in the bedroom which has a great picture but for sports and movies, only the projector and 92" screen will do, not to mention the sound system!
Hope this helps.
Ed
