    Okay, I've looked through the projectors you suggest and I think the two BenQ's are the options. I can get the PB2140 for about £480 from Amazon in the UK as you suggest. I can get the PB6210 from www.projectorpoint.co.uk for £790. Amazon do it for over £900. The question is, what...

    Noooooooo!! You can't say that!! :( It fits our requirements perfectly - £375! For a projector wich will throw a 40" image from 3'!! It's perfect! :( Hmm, but the trouble with that is that you have to doctor the maps first to take out secret doors and other information which the...

    Had a look at the PocketProjector page on the Mitsubishi site and it looks (to my inexpert eye) to be the exact thing my group is looking for. It also says it is due out Q4, 2005. I'm thinking it might be my Christmas pressie to myself. :D So, assuming I eventually get a projector and...

    Steel_Wind, Firstly, congrats on the new born! Been checking my dimensions in the Games Room and I definitely only have 64" from ceiling to table. I don't wish to extend that throw distance (i.e. buying a lower table) and I don't want to add a mirror to the equation. Given that...

    Thanks very much for your frank review of my choice. Very pleased I asked! :) I looked at the VT670 and that costs £1200 over here! That's simply too much money for our group to splash out. I'm definitely going to look into shipping possibilities. I just need to find someone...

    Please review this projector: Hi Steel_Wind, Could you please review the NEC-VT470, given my groups' requirements (specifically a throw distance of about 4'). I have looked through the numbers and it seems perfect to me - but I'd greatly appreciate a second opinion from an expert. Its...

    Thanks for the heads up, however I'm in the UK so I'll really have to see about picking up a projector over here I think. Very much appreciate your information and help on this subject - as clearly do many people on this list. I'm still looking at options and if I find what I think might be...

    Okay, that's not a problem. We can cope with this sort of sized battle map being available to play on. Yeah, we are playing at a dining room table basically. Its now dedicated to the Games Room but I've currently no intention of replacing our "sit up set up" with a "lounging about set up"...

    Thanks Ariel23. Have had a more in-depth look at my options and I'm really struggling to find a projector which will deliver a good sized "battlemap" on the table at a distance of 4'. It seems that the Toshiba TLP 261 mentioned above would be perfect but that's been discontinued. Are there...

    Options Please? Hi, I read this thread for the first time yesterday, went home last night and measured up my Games Room. There is 64" from the ceiling height to the top of our games table. Could you recommend a set of projectors which would be able to cope with this set up? Basically...
