Hi all,

Due to limited space < 8ft between walls, I am now looking at short throw projectors.

My research seems to stumble upon 3 main choises, Optoma GT10, BenQ W1080st & W1080st+

Numerous reviews have been read / watched and most come to the conclusion of the BenQ being the favourable brand.

Screen size I will be working with will be around 100" but that will be decided once I have a PJ and work out what's most comfortable for my distance / eyesight :) For the interim period, it will be screened straight onto a painted wall for a couple of days.

Do any of you guys have any real world experience of any of these models?
What are your experiences?

Have I missed any other brands / models ?
 
I have just set-up a cinema room and use the Benq W1070 which at zero zoom creates an image at around 90" at exactly 3 meters.

Picture quality is great and I find it really hard to go back to watching TV on my regular sized set after using it for the last few weeks.

One thing I will say is Projectors / screens deffo need setting up properly to get the best out of them.
 
I have a normal throw PJ in the garage for my golf simulator, so fully aware of throw distances with regards to standard PJ but thank you for your response.

Take it nobody has experience with the Short Throws :(
