I want to get a projector for watching movies from my PC via NOWTV or Netflix etc.
I will be projecting onto a 60 inch screen which will pull down from our wall or cealing (sic?).
Where to position it? Is fixed to the cealing the best place, if so how would I connect to my PC without wires trailing? Or would it be best just sat on the coffee table which will be positoned about 10 feet away from the screen and about 6 feet away from the PC?
I will be using an all in one PC that has a spare HD slot and USB slot and bluetooth (Bluetooth would be ideal?).
I've seen the screen on Amazon I want for £22.99 which seems good and this Projector http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CZ514TO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=XRBETIXLZVRL&coliid=I249404OMZO1MZ&psc=1
Being an MSEer I don't want to spend much more than this but don't want to short change on quality, would consider going second hand on ebay but I'm not sure I know what I'm looking for.
Any advice welcome!
Thanks

Permanent installations tend to use the ceiling. It's obviously a personal choice so I don't see how anyone can tell you what you think is "best".
Routing cable invisibly above the ceiling and down walls is not impossible.0 -
If you dont want wiring showing you need to cut into the ceiling, Or remove the flooring above to feed the wiring.
Or add a false ceiling.
That projector is rubbish... Native Resolution 854*540
The specs claimed in the advert are not the same as the pictures show. It maybe a cheap chinese projector they have stuck their own label on.
Falls way short of being HD..
Seen complaints that some of the reviews for that item relate to different models.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
