Hey Andy,
This is pretty far O.T., so maybe better to email me privately, but I am curious. These projectors are supposed to be good up to 30 feet diagonal. My kids are giddy with excitement that we're going to try to build our own "drive-in movie theatre" in the back yard this summer. There's a whole forum elsewhere on the 'net devoted to this, but I was wondering what your take is on max screen size with useable brightness for outside at night? I'm hoping for 24 feet wide (my carefully considered engineering decisions were based mostly on the fact that that would be three sheets wide of whatever material I ended up using for the screen.) For inside, I do have an old curved, aluminized projection screen, but unfortunately it's only about 48" diagonal and this projector won't go down that small!
