Frank, I was all over the darkened room and viewed the images from at 
least 45 degrees off-center both sides as well as straight on from 20' 
to 25' away.  A little loss of brightness, but still no distortion.  
Normal front projection screen.  I know what I saw and it astounded me.  
Please don't cite old tech ideas until you experience the new stuff.  
Whole new world out there.
