Background
Got a 50" ST50 Plasma and looked at upgrading to a 55", however after seeing my dad's 65" ST50, decided that I definetly wanted to go 65" minimum
Worked out the money required to "upgrade" and realised I could spend the "difference" on a PJ and keep my 50" ST50
Other than some reading up over the past few days, not really au fait with what type of screen/gain/throw etc
Also throw into the mix that I've got an awkward room (see plan below), I'm not sure if it will be feasible
If it is budget is £1000 for PJ, cables, Screen & blackout curtain (if required)
What the plan doesn't show is that the ceiling height is lower for the first 600mm depth into the room from the window (3260mm high), the ceiling then opens upto 3500mm high for the rest of the house
The Star in the middle indicates a 900mm dia fancy light fitting that drops approx 350mm down from the ceiling (roughly in the middle of the ceiling - not sure if I'd need to replace it with a smaller light??)
I also need to fit my AV Stand (1100mm wide x 550mm deep x 640mm high) in the middle of the window c/w 50" Panny TV, along with my 2 x Audiovector Speakers & SVS 20-39PCi Sub (approx 420mm Dia)
Not sure if it's feasible to run a PJ (I'm hoping to get a 100" picture diagonally)
My walls are a mushroomy cream colour and the floors are walnut laminate flooring
The BenQ W1070 seems to be getting good press (although I'm not interested in 3D at all)
I'm also not bothered about buying second hand if I can get a "much" better picture for my money
All advice is welcome, cheers!
