Hi everyone, I have been searching the forums for some time now on information relating to the BS3 and matched projectors. I finally went in to see James the showroom Manager at B&O Camberwell in Melbourne. Quite apart from his patience and great knowledge and (evident) passion relating to the "architectural" aspects of all things cinema related, he demo'd for me the new Samsung SPA800B Projector. A collaboration between Joe Kane, B&O and a very small team from Samsung.
Unbelieveable !
Truly so ! especially given that he was projecting a 16:9 image on an ordinary plaster board wall (no fancy Stewart grayhawk screen - only in Australia !!) covered with the customary dulux magnolia paint. !. He even went to the detail to use gaffa tape to mask off a 100" (diagonal) part of the wall so it looked like there was a screen.
Now there will be quite a few of you that may not actually believe this next bit. The picture (source of a PS3 played via the BS3, BLue Ray disc - Kingdom of Heaven) was as good if not more spectacular that the Beovision 4 65" that was mounted on an adjacent wall. Blew me away. Going back again to have another look.
The car will have to go now !
