I am looking to add the Singing Pumpkins to my yard haunt this year. With all the younger TOT'er's I think they will get a kick out it.
I have been searching the forum and reading all the different posts about the projectors. Since the Singing Pumpkins is not needing to be Cinema Quality, I am wondering what people are really using as projectors. One of the most helpful things I came across was KICKTHEFOG's video review of three projectors. I agreed with him that the Mitsubishi xd500u is a great projector to have for larger displays ( window's, doors, etc...). But for the Singing Pumpkins?
I am looking for something more reasonable I think. I am generally thinking the smaller units, with multimedia built in for the video, and an external speaker port for better sound. This way it is easier to disguise in the yard. But there are so many units, many looking to be the same unit under different names, and some even different properties. It is enough to drive one nuts.
For all of you actually displaying the Singing Pumpkins out there . . . What are you using as a projector? What native resolution does it have and how many lumens?
Don't get me wrong I realize the brighter the better, I do. But this project will only be used for the Singing Pumpkins. I am not worried about seeing it in DAYLIGHT. I want something to be seen from dusk to dark. There will always be some ambient light, never complete darkness.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My brain is mush at this point.
