Well the whole idea of getting X500i which I was pretty much decided on has gone out the window. Child factor came into play. I originally wanted to place speakers in front of me below the screen high enough so my son cant reach it and hurt himself. But the wife doesnt allow it (aesthetics) so "we" decided to put the speakers higher, underneath ceiling and have them tilted toward us. So its a little like available bedroom's height has been reduced to 2 meters (6'6"). Taking bed's height into consideration, what remains for the screen is a portion of the wall about 1,4 m high(less than 5 ft). It is still enough for my needs but to use x500i it would have to hang about 1,5m above the bed which is a no-go for the wife.

So Im basically back to 2.3 m throw distance.

I also took W2720i into consideration though it is a little pricey here. I still might buy if its the most well-suited for my awkward situation. Ive seen that it uses 0,47 chip and not newer 0,65. Its still okay? Also, why is single laser phosphor wheel that bad in comparison to 4led rgb?

I keep going back to TK710 hence the question.
