Hi,
It's been a while since I've been on here.
I'm embarking on getting a PJ and Screen in my living room now, I currently have a 50" Plasma screen and I'm going to be building a floating wall that will house an electric projector screen (pelmet style at the top).
I need some help regarding what sort of screen size and PJ I should be looking at. I will have a throw distance of around 2.5m and am looking for the biggest picture possible. It's a long living\dining room approx 3x6m (I've given 2.5m as throw distance to account for the PJ's distance away from wall). I was originally looking at the Benq W2000 and Optoma HD27 but neither seem to be particularly short throw so according to various calculators I'm only looking at about a 80" diagonal screen image where I was actually hoping for closer too 100".
Is there any reccomendation as to what screen size I should be looking at anyway for my viewing distance of about 2.5m?
To fit with the TV furniture and floating wall I can have an area of 2.4m wide that I can project onto and ideally would like to project an image that wide. With my viewing distance of roughly 2.5 meters, what sort of screen size should I be looking at and which PJ can fill those needs in the price bracket of the Benq W2000 that will still give the best picture quality available?
Thanks,
