I have been using two Logan Show King projector tables in my screening room and they have worked great. I especially like the built-in outlets and the lamp switch. However they are not great on stability and I wanted something taller.

I Just replaced the tables with this Da-Lite Projector Stand. The height is adjustable and it is very stable. I can fit 2 projector on it. I currently have an Elmo 16CL and a B&H 33SR playing nicely on it. There's plenty of room to thread, rewind, and adjust volume on both machines and I can do everything standing.

I was a bit concerned that projecting to my screen from a higher angle would create key-stoning. It's not a typical screen. It was made for a Sony projection TV back in the 80's. I got rid of the TV, but kept the screen. This screen is made to have the projection come from a low angle pointing up to the screen and with the Da-lite stand I'm projecting more straight on. There is some minor fading at the bottom because of the curvature and angle of the screen , but over-all very acceptable.

Looks good Janice, but are those adjustable telescopic legs?...the reason I mention this, if that's the case, you would have to be very careful to make sure they are locked very tight, so there is no chance those telescopic legs slipping under the weight of the projectors.

Graham...yes the legs telescope. I appreciate your concern. I will check the legs again to make sure they are turned tight enough [Smile]
