    Yes, but there is a difference between optics quality and just a generic fresnel. There is also a difference between first surface mirror and generic mirrors also. You lose sharpness and clarity through mirrors that aren't first surface and you lose optical clarity and sharpmenss through fresnels that are not optic grade.

    Re: Short-Throw Projectors

    Yes you are probably right... Since i haven't tested this setup i can't argue.. but spending $30 to MAYBE save $1,000 in another projector.. might be worthed!

    Problem is, like anything simpit, someone needs to take the first experimental steps and document it though.

    IMHO, the mylar first surface film sounds more plausible.
