I saw pictures of this thing in the dell catalogue with some kids playing games on it. How good do you think games will look on a 60 inch wall projection?
Keep in mind you can only play in absolute darkness and anything crossing between you and the wall will totally block the picture.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/
Also, I've played Halo2 on my ceiling-mounted Infocus Screenplay 4805 (projecting at 96" widescreen) and it's absolutely amazing. Also, with no changes to the picture at shallow viewing angles, front-projection still beats out LCDs and Plasmas.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/
To poster #1 you have obviously never played Halo 2 on 100" screen, and as far as viewing w/ambient light goes this thing is definitely viewable w/such a high lumens rating.

The Mitsubishi projector with something like a 30000 hour LED based lamp (instead of the usual 3000) seems like a great direction (except that i currently isn't all that bright.

Hope they develop that tech some more.

3000 hours before you have to plonk down another $200-$400 just doesn't cut it for me.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/
And no...I don't hate on Dell, this bit of wit is coming straight off an Inspiron;)]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Depending on how high your projected resolution is, 2200 lumens is bright enough to handle a brightly lit room. It also depends if you're using a 16:9 or 4:3 picture...so, in effect both of you are somewhat correct.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/actually if you looked on dell's site, it clearly states it's a dlp.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/
DNP blackscreen is the solution to daytime ambient light problems. It's a tad pricy (okay, really pricy, probably near the price of this projector at anything over 100") but it's a solution.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/
Investing in a good projector is meaningless unless you invest in a projection surface as well. Just projecting on a white wall absorbs and diffuses much of the projected light.

Quality screens and multi-layer projection wall paint may be expensive, but you can't expect daytime viewing on any projector unless you have an acceptable surface to project on.

As a VJ I can attest to the value of projecting on a real screen. I've projected on everything from rocks, sand, brick walls, painted white walls, fabric, etched glass, plastics, smoke, water vapor, etc. Nothing beats projecting on a real projection screen. They make them for a reason.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/25/dell-launches-high-end-5100mp-projector/I havn't read many reviews on the 5100MP.
Hope to find some here!]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AM
