"From a distance of three feet, the 86HD projects a 33-inch (diagonal) picture. From 30 feet, the picture measures 32 inches diagonal."

Does this mean that it displays a larger picture (33 inches) at 3 feet from the screen than it can at 30 feet (32 inches), ten times further away? This must be a typo. I would hope it would be more like over 300 inches.........

I've seen the MovieMate series before, but had no idea it could project a 26-foot image. That's amazing. I would have thought you'd need a higher lumen count to project an image that big. This strikes me as something than could be very useful in corporate settings as well.

Pity about the lack of a Blu-Ray drive. Surely they could offer a higher-end model to those who want it. Maybe an update with 1080p is coming.
