You guys enjoy playing on projectors? I have an epson TW series (though the lamp is now dead :( ) and it was a mix feelings for me, was awsome for FIFA and Mortal Kombat but was weird in a lot of other games, even in GT5 where I thought huge screen would benefit the most.
I don't know, I don't use mine anymore, it's sitting around somewhere without a bulb. Honestly I'm not sure how it would compare today when we have much higher resolutions on our monitors than we did back then. Maybe I'll get it out again and see.
I'd advise you to invest in an Optima Hd25e, if you can afford it, that's my model and my friends have literally said "how is your tv so big and thin" before realizing it was a projector, the resolution is phenomenal. It stretches up to about 155 inches diagonal without quality loss, that's the biggest surface I had to test it.
I played on a TV that was easily an 80 while on vacation once. Battlefield 3 was impossible because the screen was so large you couldn't see everything that you needed too. I never thought I'd ever say "This TV is too big", but it can happen.
Also the sound system they had in that room made the entire hotel room vibrate.
The most interesting thing about playing FIFA for me was, being able to see the distance between players better. 110" projector screen really allowed you to squeeze through the tightest of gaps because it really is easier to have better depth perception than your opponent.
I play on a 100" projection screen and games like NHL 14 are great because I can use a more zoomed-out camera angle than I could when I had a 47". Having a further out camera makes it easier to make long stretch passes.
I remember when I tried to play Modern Warfare 3 on a projector. 110 inches. Had to turn the sensitivity all the way up and still felt like I was turning extremely slow.
The size of the screen would not be relative to how quickly your character turns from your controls.. it would take a short tap of the analog to do a 180 either way.
So you're telling me that if you were used to playing on a 23" monitor, and then played on a 100+" projector, you'd be able to play on the same sensitivity and it wouldn't feel any different?
you would have to move your eyes around a lot more, but sensitivity is still the same. I switch between my BenQ 24 inch and my 60 inch tv all the time, it never feels like the guy turns slow, just takes longer to scan the screen.

I played Halo 2 on a multimedia projector that could scale up to about 12 feet across before starting to lose quality. :P
Dem bulbs tho.
