As the weight of the thing is like just over 3 lbs., it should'nt be a major problem or concern.At any rate,  I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks for letting me blabber on!  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  But this really is something that I think will make gameplay even more fun! It will actually reduce some of my stress on prepping for eash sesson as DM.PS  <a href="http://www.projectorcentral.com/sharp_xr-1x.htm" target="_blank">Here</a>is a link of a review by projectorcentral.com on the model I bought.  Let me know what you all think of it!?</blockquote>
