Having a tough time deciding whether to mask or not mask a 2:35 screen.

I say "kinda" because conditions weren't perfect, but still.... My local high end AV emporium (Bay Bloor Radio in Toronto) has re-done it's projection room.

That was easy....whats not easy is getting my HTB lens(with thier sled) hung from the ceiling as well. This would be MUCH easier if I could just hang the PJ without the pole closer to the ceiling. SOOOOO....

I've been thinking about a CIH setup but I'm hesitant due to the technical difficulties, integration issues, and high cost for a custom built system. Does a projector that has this capability already built-in provide an image comparable in quality to a custom built system (projector and lens from different vendors)http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067484&goto=newpost god i love 2.35:1- September 17, 2008 saw it at EHX, love it!http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067372&goto=newpost Panamorph U85 vs. Panamorph 752- September 16, 2008 Which is the better lens U85 because it is newer (but still discontinued )http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1067217&goto=newpost Current long throw 2.35 projector options please- September 15, 2008 Screen is a Stewart studiotek 130 120"D 110.5 inches wide.
