advice on projectors and screens


.

I want to add video to my system for concert/music videos and know very little about it. I am looking for 2 channel for now so not really looking for audio advice, just video. I envision a ceiling mounted retractable screen of 80-100 inches and a projector. If you look at my system I see a screen hanging down in front of the speakers. I can make the room completely dark if needed.

I don't want to invest a lot of money but have no idea how much I need to get decent performance. My priority is sound quality which I already have but what will suffice for video?

How much do I need to spend on a projector and what are the specs that are most important for music videos?

Same question for screens.

Thanks.

Dave - the auto-iris in the Epson 8350 can be really annoying. This is how they get better contrast and better blacks out of cheaper designs. If you have not opened the box you may want to reconsider.

Ya, I knew about the iris, and many other issues with this projector....but I found many issues with "every" projector I read about at the AVS forum.

I doubt the iris noise will bother anyone here with the projector mounted well above, and a little behind the listening area, and if it does, I'll turn it off.

At the price I paid (around what I paid for my old Infocus X-1) many years ago......I expect I will be "more" than happy!

We don't use our projector much anyway.....less than 3,000 hours on the Infocus bulb even after all these years (-:
