Sony VW10HT Projector

I have one. It took a month for my dealer to ceiling mount it. In the interim, it was on a coffee table, 12' back. You'll have some keystoning, but the correction will take care of it...it works pretty good. Mine is about 14 feet away and I have it on a 100" screen now. Go for a bigger screen if you can...it'll work on a 60" but bigger is better.

Sat is avg at best. I'm considering a external line doubler. DVD is very sharp.

I have had a 10HT for about 4 months now. I too am unable to mount it to the ceiling (also unwilling to pay $300 for a mount). I made a mount out of a wood platform and wood braces for about $30. It is 12ft away from a 108" Draper screen 1.3 gain. Works very well.
I would recommend against getting one as big as you can. If I could do it again I would get the Stewart Grayhawk roughly 90" screen instead.
The digital keystone will correct the problem if the projector is not on a true flat surface. But it was frustrating enough to set that I just made sure the mount was level. With a 10-12' throw, you should be fine for at least 72" screen. Let me know if this helps.

If you haven't bought it yet, wait and buy the vw11ht. I've seen it and it looks a lot better.

Thanks for the tip...I figured the 10HT was due for an update. Any info on how the 11 differs from the 10?
