Message: <blockquote data-quote="JDragon" data-source="post: 3294906" data-attributes="member: 780">Ok as promised here are the second half of my pics from my game with the new projector in use.This is in my living room during the afternoon, we normally keep the blinds closed but have all the lights on.  I did not adjust the lights for the pictures so these are at our "Playing" brightness.Let me know if they are hard to see.I ended up running my projector in a 16/9 ratio which gave me a 30" high by 50" wide image to play with.  The keystonning was not as bad in the 16:9 and not really noticible even with preprinted grids on the maps. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" />The only problem I ran into was that the remote control would not work today.  It had worked for the last week for all the tests & demos but got nothing from it today even after changingthe batteries.  Not sure if its the remote or the sensor, but will have to look into it in the next few weeks.This is a full size picture from behind the couch where I sit.
