I'm building a little home theater in my country house. It's nothing fancy, just a screen, a projector and a 5.1 sound system. First of all should i get a 4:3 or 16:9 screen?
I found a projector that might be suitable for me.

anyone know if its any good for a little home theater? its about 750€
Max range i can use the projector in this room will be about 6 meters and the screen will be about 2 meters in width. People will be sitting about 4m from the screen. If u can recommend any better projectors in about the same price range plz do.
Is your projector going to be in a light controlled room?
The projector you selected doesn't seem to have a very good contrast ratio from the link you posted. Probably has lack luster black levels and slightly washed out colors.
Note that this projector is Not Native HD. Its Native Resolution is 1280×800. Not 1920X1080, so even if you send it a 1080 signal, the most you will ever see in 1280X800.
Having had 3 projector so far. I would seriously look for a better projector. 1280X800 will not look good @ 80+ inches IMO. I would spend a little more, and get something you will enjoy for years.
Check into replacement bulb cost as well. My HC6000 bulbs cost $300, where as some of the other projectors out there could have bulbs priced as much as $800.
I have a Mitsubishi HC6000 and i love it. I paid 5Gs for it when it first came out, but you can get them now for $1800. (Im talking in CAD)
You can get good full HD projectors at less than 1000 EUR nowadays, there's been a few sites that reviews some of these in the last 2-3 months (Anand did one I think, as well as Bit-tech). Might want to google for those reviews
