I know there are a number of threads on here regarding projectors, but I was wondering if I could get some input regarding an HD projector issue. I'm looking for a projector which can pull double duty for a true HD home theatre as well as a golf simulator. Golf simulator wise I'm looking for a 16' by 9' image, and I have up to 27' from the screen, with 10' ceilings.

My concern is that if I go with an HD projector, the projector will have to be mounted in the 25' from screen range, so I'm concerned with shadows during sim play, but if I go with a short throw projector I won't have HD for movies, etc.

Any input and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
