I've had a FP setup for about 6 months now, and have been very happy with it. Now the the initial novelty of it has worn off, I am getting tired of seeing the black bars on my 16:9 screen. So, I have been thinking about upgrading to a 2.35:1 screen and getting masking material for 1.85:1 media.

I did some online research, and also can't seem to locate my manual, and haven't been able to answer my question yet: can my HC-1600 throw a 2.35:1 or 2.4:1 image? My Draper screen can easily be pulled down less for a 2.35:1 image, but I have been thinking about a permanent 2.35:1 screen.

Anyone have any help for me? I am trying to see if this is worth pursuing. I don't really want to upgrade the projector - it's hardly been used - just the screen.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
