To Kneel, the Infocus 4805 webpage(www.infocus.com) has an image calculator determing how much screen size you get depending on your distance from wall to projector. The Projector I have also has overscan to make the image even LARGER. For me it’s about 12Ft, and as for getting a Plasma TV, I highly recommend checking out a projector first before making any purchases. As I stated in one of my previous posts, once you have that huge screen it’s really difficult to go back, add to the mix the fact that the machine is portable(I mean it’s the size of a an Xbox and weighs less) and you truly have a versatile machine.
Here’s what I do on the Projector:
#1. DVDs - I’m a movie buff, and the Xbox with progressive scan looks amazing(I’m not joking when I say it looks better than the local movie theatre, I’m not saying IMAX, they still are the king, but it’s better than any movie theatre around here that’s for sure). Fear not the projector has special technology(Faroudja) that makes interlaced movies look good.
#2. Gaming - Whether it be Xbox, PC, or even Dreamcast, the projector makes things shine. The projector I use is widescreen so all you sports games junkies can finally have the full scope of the game as intended. Oh and SF in 480p never looked so good(AND HUGE!). For you SNK fans, the 480p mode helps out KOF and SVC too. I plan on getting Gamecube component cables to play RE4 on this monster, the game was meant for widescreen anyway.
#3. HDTV - Even though it’s 1/4 resolution of true HDTV, it’s still miles away from SDTV. Plus from the 12’ viewing distance I have it’s tough to tell where the loss in quality is, to me it’s not that big of a deal, watching events in HD or even HD movies is good enough.
There you have it folks, if anyone lives in the area and would like a demonstration(I doubt Best Buy allows you to play CVS2 on their projectors) you’re welcome to set something up with me as long as it’s past 9PM EST.
Obviously you care, otherwise you wouldn’t have made 5 posts about it.
Sorry I caught wind of this late, and I don’t need to justify what I have to anyone, but let the record show everything I have is 100% acquired my me. My parents didn’t have a hand in anything, nor were they gifts. So Geese you can officially kiss my pecker.
BTW Jesse, your wife have any friends that like gaming too? haha I’m joking there’s a girl I already like and I would trade everything I have just to have a chance with Her…oh boy. Having all these things means nothing without love in your heart. Let’s not lose sight of that.
Well, might as well post my DVD collection. I am only going to post my animes because I can’t get my movies right now. Not a big list, but I like 'em all(except two of them…)

hd loader = ya damn fuckin right
Jeez, you actually bothered to check me out? It was a joke man! You might want to move the cab on the left away from the wall a bit - it looks like a bit of a squeeze. Oh and take whatever it is that’s stuck up your arse out of it and stop being so tetchy.
Those projectors seem good to me. I like that it has a good selection of inputs, Id enjoy trying them all out as Ive never experienced them before. One thing Im a little worried about is Id have to get rid of my TV for space. BUT, I remembered the new PC monitor Im getting doubles as a TV, so I should be all good. I should be able to manage an 80" diagonal picture with the space I have. Im not 100% sure if I’ll be getting one yet, Im forever changing my mind. But for now Im focused on picking up the InFocus!
Do your Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun have english subtitles? Because if they do, it looks like bootleg city to me.
Not that that really matters to me. But question, how are the english subtitles on the Cowboy Bebop boxset? Do they make sense? I’ve seen a bootleg Escaflowne and while the packaging and stuff was beautiful (similar to what you have), the english subtitles were horribly done.
They all feature english subtitles and voice tracks. And no, it’s not bootleg. I wouldn’t even bother posting it if it was. And the subtitles make sense, but don’t watch it while listening to the english track because it doesn’t match up as nice, much like every other anime.
how can they not be bootleg? they are definitely not region 1 or region 2 (and seeing that youre from NJ, i dont see why you would get any other region)?
take for example the cowboy bebop boxset, that is neither the cover of the japanese discs or american discs. its the cover of the american boxset, but the american boxset was very large and could hold 8 fully, individually cased DVDs.
take for example the kenshin boxset. the US release looks nothing like that, either does the Japanese release.
as for the cowboy bebop movie, that is the cover of the japanese disc which to my knowledge does not have english subtitles. the cover of the US release looks different.
the trigun boxset US release was a large 8 disc release, similar to the cowboy bebop one.
anyway, i dont mean to argue or anything–im just a bit doubtful. maybe im wrong, but who knows. anyway, thanks for your response to my subtitle question sir.
Well, as far as I can tell, they aren’t. And let’s say if they are bootleg, who cares? They are packaged 1000x better then both the American and Japanese releases, and feature both languages(both voice and subtitles) so I don’t really care. Please note they also have a “special features” section, and the menus look extremely nice(and better then the “American” release you speak of). So yeah, be it bootleg or not, they are the best boxsets I’ve seen.
Sorry to break the news here, but all FX branded stuff is bootleg. Just like OSTs that are branded with EverAnime or SM (SonMay). The bootlegs may be of superb quality (ie. direct copying of the real source), but they are still bootlegs. Bootlegs are fine now and then when you can’t find the original of what you want. But I heard that a Cowboy Bebop DTS version is due in September! Wow!
Wow, then I have no idea why I would buy the bulky as shit american release when I could get a boxset like the one from Cowboy Bebop with the whole series in 3 dvds, with a better box. and sorry for my ignorance(on saying it’s not bootleg).
