Oho? Pictures of Harmy's work up on our projection screens? Can do :)

I burned the AVCHD to a DVD, popped it into my PS3, and paused on this scene:

For the "lights off" shot, I set my camera white point to 7500K to match my projector's white point setting of 7500K. Not sure if that's right, but the picture looks right to me.

I don't think my screen is as big as lpd's :P This is an 80-inch Da-Lite TheaterLite display, with the WidePower surface (2.2 gain, 45 degree viewing angle, so maybe I should have taken the shot closer to center). The projector is an Epson PowerLite 8345, which is a 1080p 3LCD projector. 3LCD is the way to go for HD projection at a reasonable cost, single-chip DLP is cheaper but totally unsuitable for any home theatre use. Single-chip DLP are great for powerpoint in offices, but terrible colour and they lose a lot of brightness due to using colour filters (3LCD uses prisms to split light into the colours and runs it through three monochrome LCD chips). I speak from experience, I manage something like 30 projectors for an anime convention, most are single-chip DLP (the costs-more-than-a-car ones are 3-chip DLP, and for our smaller ones I'm starting to migrate to 3LCD) It was a budget setup; the screen was something like $240, the projector about a thousand bucks if memory serves.

Thank goodness this projector has such a short throw distance. I have a tiny apartment that is less than 11 feet wide, and the projector (which isless than 9 feet from the screen) could easily handle a 100 inch image at that distance, if they had made this screen in that size :P Yes, it's a bit silly having an 80" screen in an apartment this small, but I don't care :P
