Need a little advice.

Got my new HD projector coming this week for my den and was wondering what the best way to mount it would be.

Is it better to buy in a ceiling mount, or make one up?

Ceiling mount - not very "tall" so Project would need to point down towards its screen, approx 15 deg. Quite epensive too for some of the taller ones, eg. £150+

Self-made bracket - can be made tall so projector more or less pointing straight at screen. More hassle to make obviously.

What do you think ?

I made my own back in the day, out of a TV wall stand turned upside-down. N.B. I was single then

Dad made his to angle the lens, then found out that the projector would angle itself very well - curiously enough the makers do actually realise that people can't often set them up at eye-level! I think it's called "keystoning".

Depends on your fabrication skills

I've got access to a small army of welders and fabricators!

No, oompa-loompas

I run an elaborate immigration / slave-labour operation and pay Will Wonka back-handers for his vertically challenged (but cheap) workforce.
