I'm planning to use the 885ES on a 160" screen and have been wondering if it would be bright enough (the price jump to the 5000ES is too much for the budget).
What screen are you using???
SI Maestro perf, 144” wide. Brightness was a major worry, so I purchased the projector and tried different image sizes (against white drywall) before deciding on screen. This projector is fantastic! 17’ throw distance, the brightness currently set at 53%. We are showing clients the difference between uncompressed Kaleidescape vs AppleTV, Dish, Netflix, YouTube etc.
Also delighted with our Anthem AVM60 atmos processor and Paradigm 7.2.4 speakers, one of the best sounding rooms around IMO. We did make a serious effort on diffusion, absorption and bass traps hidden behind fabric panels.
