Can these projectors show from behind a screen?

I have mine ceiling mounted about 18′ from a 8.5′ diagonal screen in my basement. We watch FiOS movies, XBox and DVDs.

This projector produces an excellent picture quality. With a 13ft distance it can produce a 120″ diagonal picture.
I love it and recomend this projector to everyone

It is impossible for me to compare this projector with any but carry along business projectors (no comparison for video – this one is much better).

I have a Motorola HD cable box hooked up to it and it gets a very good HD picture, but the sound was cutting out constantly through an HDMI cable connection. I worked around this by keeping the HDMI cable for video but running an optical audio cable from the box to the Samsung receiver and plugging the HDMI directly into the projector, instead of Box to receiver to projector as I had it before. This seems more like it may have been a problem with the cable box or receiver.

This has got the be the best projection, both quality and price. All you really need is a wall and you’re good to go. I found that using the white background gives you a more vibrant colors, but using a black or dark background gives you .. well, more “blacker” colors. For example, when watching ESPN, the black bottom bar will in fact be “matte black” on the black background, where the black becomes “glossy black” on the white background. They look excellent regardless of the color of the wall, so try it first then figure out what to do with the screen – paint or pull down.

I hope this helps in case anyone has a similar setup as my movie room and is thinking about buying this projector.

The HDMI Cable input may further improve the picture quality.

I bought this projector on a lightning deal on Amazon and was not ready for some upcoming expenses, so I thought I would write this part of my review for first time projector/home theater buyers, so they know what additional expenses to expect. Just remember, Amazon is a great place to get price references, just plan ahead when it comes to ordering wires and wire tracks and measure everything twice. Also,I love this projector, but if it catches on fire, I will buy Epson’s 3D model and pay the extra $ 200-300, not because this one is bad, but because I am now completely addicted to the home theater experience. This thing with a popcorn machine and surround sound systemit doesn’t get better.

Of course, another important point is the picture quality. I am no expert, but blacks are really black, the image is very clear, even on a 10ft wide screen, and the colors are very real. Another plus is being able to adjust size and inclination of the projected image with ease and with many options. 1080p is important not only for programs, but for the computer. I have the computer connected to it with wireless mouse and keyboard and it shines.

My boss is looking at 2 new wide screen projectors, both InFocus brands. Do either the IN5106 or the IN5102 project from behind the screen?

Yes they indeed do have that capability (rear projection)

Of course you’ll need to look into rear-projection screens as well.

Most if not all of these projectors have rear-screen capability – a function of merely flipping the image to reverse. Set up functions work the same (geometry adjustments, etc.)
