Pool Movie Theater

That's awesome, how far is the projector away from the screen? How close can a projector be and still provide a good picture?

My set up forced me to throw the picture 32 feet. Had to do a lot of projector research to figure out what'd work well. Went with an epson5030ub.

Went with an epson5030ub.

I was just reading a review of that...nice projector!

You may have to go into the Pool A/V biz after this post AChristie!

That is so fabulous -- great job!

Would it be possible to post a picture of the projector set up? Is it permanently installed or do you bring it out just for movies?

This thread reminds me I need to get a bigger screen for my pool movie nights, currently using a Camp Chef 120 inch diagonal projected across the width of the pool about 25 ft to the projector (old JVC will only do 720P)

Wow this is amazing! It's funny I was just bugging my wife about getting a projector. Immediately sent her this link

1080p is overkill in most outdoor situations. You have to have an enormous screen and sit pretty close to it to even distinguish between 720p and 1080p.
