Hi everyone
this is my first posting in this section so please bear with me, I think I`m ok to post here. I am building my house with a dedicated cinema room in the basement which measures approx 5.5mts square (cinema room) I have been fortunate enough to purchase a sim2 grand theatre E300 link projector and I would like to purchase a screen and all the other bits n bobs so any advice is welcome.
I am a complete novice but not an idiot (I think) and would really appreciate any offers of help and advice as its a minefield out there. My only experience is with a borrowed owl screen which was brand new in its box and had bad edge curl (is this normal with owl) so taken back straight away hence should I go tabbed or not.
I might add that the newly plastered walls are superb so maybe a painted or fixed screen is a possibility but the wow factor isn`t really there or is it. Also someone has said that my sim2 needs a good screen to compliment it but which one??? and do I need a 16.9 screen
I don`t have a massive budget as the house build is really gulping it all up but could maybe stretch to a grand for a screen and possibly up to ten grand for the rest of the audio hardware if pushed a lot less would be better but I don`t want to compromise the sim2
I have also fully automated the whole house with multi room audio/video and networked everywhere, The house has I-Light dimming racks fitted to control every room with scene lighting so hopefully should be good.(they ought to be for 9 grand)
Sorry for going on a bit but I really could do with some good old fashioned honest advice
many thanks
Allan

PPS. I`ve posted a similar thread in the projector screens forum but as I`m still building thought I ought to put it here so sorry if its wrong but looking at some of the others cinema room pics I just can`t wait whilst mine is done.
