Hey Franklin. Here is a great article on presenting SDE's.

EventDV.net: The Event Videographer's Resource (http://www.eventdv.net/Articles/News/Feature/Getting-the-Most-Out-of-Your-Same-Day-Edits-74608.htm)

As it suggests the Optoma TH1060 is really amazing for it's high lumens and great value.

Frankin - I just started doing SDEs and use this
InFocus IN146 Short Throw Projector IN146 B&H Photo Video
It's a "short throw" projector so you don't need a lot of room between the projector and screen. I'm very happy with it.

Bumping this thread up and wondering if anyone would have recommendations for a super bright + short throw projector.

I will be doing video presentations at a trade show and will require something that can project a bright image on a 8x8 screen at less than 10 feet. Since it the environment is also going to be bright, I'll need something over 3000 lumens by preference.

Please help!

Thanks for the link Chris, but which model do you personally recommend?

None of the ones listed is a short-throw projector either...

You need a projector with interchangeable lens, the ones being sold at BHP has fixed lenses. The projectors with interchangeable lens are expensive to buy. You can rent a 5K projector for $ 500 plus a .8 lens for $ 150 in Toronto.

Why not a 52" led for the trade show... why not show your best quality to book weddings... I do tons of shows in NY and we are a very busy studio...
First impressions books weddings...

Thanks for the suggestion Robert but I'm really looking for a projector in this case.

If anyone has any recommendations, don't hesitate!
