“I've got the LS12000 and a 180" screen at about 19ft away. People initially say 180" is to big but after the movie or gaming session nobody says anything other then amazing. Theres no such thing a to big. Once you have it you'll never be able go back.”

“Uhm, the Valerion (and similar projectors) use triple lasers; one for each color, and as such I'm pretty sure there is no colorwheel in it. What it does have is laser specle, a weird artifact of rgb laser projectors. Looks kinda like a weird film grain that glitters - it is especially bad with an alr screen. Btw - the hookup, a popular review channel on YouTube, tested the epson ls12000 against the valerion pro2 which won by such a wide margin that angry commenters made him re-do the comparison. Same result. I wouldn't get the epson even if it was half price.”
