What Experience With Viewing Angle? DLP with rear projection seems to have a narrow viewing angle, especially in the vertical direction. What is your experience on viewing angle?

I agree that it does start going bad at about 30 degrees but if you aren't too picky, it's not that bad, even at 70 derees off axis, which is where I'm sitting right now. If you aren't a videophile, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's definitely noticeable from the sides and above. I'd say that it has about a 160 degree field of vision before you start to notice the picture getting washed with black. When's the last time you watched TV from an 80 degree angle? :)

I was severely tempted by the price on this set. I went to both BB and CC today and looked at them. This set has about a 30 degree off center angle that is acceptable. The newer (1080p) sets extend this to about 45 degrees off axis for an acceptable viewing angle. This gives you a total of 90 degrees. Forget the 160 nonsence!

3DRF is not line of sight like the infared 3d glasses, so the glasses work even if they can't "see" the emitter. If you want to go DLP link, you have that choice, just buy a DLP link emitter. Picture quality is basically the same either way, as long as the IR glasses can see the IR emitter. Note that positioning the IR emitter for a projector can be a little more complicated than for a 3d tv. With the TV the emitter plugs into the TV, which is always in front of you. Often projectors are behind the audience- for IR you'd have to figure out how to route the emitter so that it's in front and can be seen by the glasses.

Yes, it is designed for both front or rear projection. It has a heavy black cloth in the back that rolls out of tge wsy for rear projection, but blocks ambiant light for front projection.I have 2 of these screens and have been happy with them for their cost. They tend to twist a little, but not terrible.

There are two 1.5mm (metric) allen set screws which you can loosen to adjust the camera angle.Note that the claimed 170 degree viewing angle is vastly exaggerated. I estimate it to be about half that, in the horizontal direction. Vertical is less, of course, because of aspect ratio.

Indeed, in line with CNET's review, I've found there is a difference when viewed from off-center. Our set is about 110" away from our couch (2 screen widths), and the vertical center of the screen is about 6" above eye level. When viewed about 5-6' laterally off-center, there is a definite difference - the image appears slightly duller. This does not get any worse the further out you go, but I've only gone another 3' laterally. I was disappointed that I could notice a difference, but to be honest, after owning the set for a month, I can't really see this difference anymore, and have absolutely no qualms about sitting 5-6' off-center. However, I can still detect a difference in the vividness of this set vs. the LN46A650 in our bedroom.

Yes, the viewing angle is awesome. I mounted the unit replacing a door bell unit, replacing the door bell in the exact location with the Camera,it work perfect, and angle of view is great.......

The short answer is yes. There is a setting on the projector for rear projection. However, there are plenty of other factors to consider. Ambient light, distance to the screen, screen material, etc.

This is a great screen. I use it strictly for outdoors due to it capabilities to do rear projection. It also can do front projection. What kind of projector does he have? LCD OR DLP? Lumens dictate the brightness of the projector. The brighter the better i say... but regardless of the projector it is a good screen for indoor and outdoor. I believe this same company makes a square one now that looks really good... lwt mw know if you have any other questions

Yes. However, it's a wedge-shaped device. So,the view screen will point downward.

Yes this projector and many other projectors can be used for rear projection. I would suggest DA-Lite rear projection screens. I hope this answers your question, Ben M.

No, it cannot be used as a rear projection screen. But, it's still a good value considering the quality and ease of use.

If you have a DLP projector or Mitsubishi 3D TV(post 2010), the left/right polarity of the glasses can be adjusted by accessing the menu and accessing "3D Mode." There you will find your 3D options. I have a Mits 65738 and my settings are "automatic" - "standard" - "dlp-link" - they work perfectly.

DL is correct about checking the FLIP box in the Live Video settings. However, you must also check the MIRROR box. Otherwise, the image will be a mirror of what it should be.

Like any LCD screen, there is diminishing brightness as your viewing angle increases. However, the manufacturer claims 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. That's sufficiently wide for the type of application you describe, in my opinion. I use the monitor as a second screen for my laptop, and find it to be very good quality for the price.

From a distance the viewing angle is about 10 degrees left and right. The closer you get the tighter the view. It is basically a parking spot in width and has distance marks to tell you how close you are. The distance markings go from green to yellow then red so you can judge how close toy are after you use it a few times

Yes, the 92" model is specified for rear projection. However, we have never used that feature and do not know anything about the brightness with a rear projection. http://www.campchef.com/portable-screens/outdoor-entertainment-gear-big-screen-92.html

This mount will adjust to absolutely any angle you need. If you are in a tight spot, then this is the mount for you.If you need to angle the projector "down" then you need a longer mount...one with a "down rod" preferably...Angling the image downward will cause a distortion, or trapezoid. It can be "corrected" with the keystone function, but that should be a last ditch attempt. You are far better off getting the right mount that will put your projector at the correct height for your screen.
