Sony VW10HT Projector

Would like to hear from someone who has first-hand experience setting up this projector. I'm considering a purchase, but my room setup for the next year or so will preclude ceiling mounting...will likely have to use it on a low table, about 10-12' from the screen. Screen width would likely be about 60", and the bottom of the screen about 2' above the projector. My question is, will this cause significant keystoning, and will the electronic keystone adjustments correct for it? I've read that the 10HT works well with short throws...true? Any other viewpoints on this projector would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't bought it yet, wait and buy the vw11ht. I've seen it and it looks a lot better.

Thanks for the tip...I figured the 10HT was due for an update. Any info on how the 11 differs from the 10?

I have the 11, the differences include better contrast (still not specified as a number though), 2/3 pull down, longer bulb life are the most talked about. Check out
www.thebigpicturedvd.com forums, there is one dedicated to the 10HT. Also check out Steve Smallcombe (on that site) he has developed a program (an excel spreadsheet) that works with the AVIA setup disk. It is an awsome tweek for the projector. Really guides you through it. The downside of the 11 is that only special dealers carry it and this can keep the price higher than it should be.
BTW, the 10HT is being discounted to under 5K these days and is still a great projector. Steves program is called SMART II if you are doing a search.

Hope this helps
