Please be aware that as you compensate with zoom factor to expand the image, resulting ANSI brightness drops.Secondly, you are looking for a VERY short throw distance here.  You are presumably still gaming at a sit down table with this expected setup.  It's not unreasonable to want that and I am not suggesting it is - but it may well be unrealistic, most especially if you want a large image and wish to avoid mirrors as part of your projection setup.We game at a coffee table height table between 4 couches.  The extra 2' or so pays off large in terms of throw distance.  Others here who are gaming at sit down tables have either accepted a smaller image or are achiveing a larger one with a wide angle lens and a mirror assist to get that extra foot or so of throw.At some point - physics invades. The difference between 4 feet and 5 feet 8" are HUGE in terms of their impact on image size.  If you want it all - be prepared to have to pay for it or start to examine how many of your "requirements" could use some subtle revision.Lastly, Ariel23's advice on searching projector central above was good. If you are finding little, its because your expectations on image size are not being realistic.That said, there are models out there as the search discloses.  As well, please pay close attention to ebay - these models come up frequently there.</blockquote>
