Hi chaps
First post so be gentle
I'm going to be moving in to a new house pretty soon and it has a cellar that I intend to convert into another room for the express purpose of home cinema and PC/gadget "stuff"
the room is 10ft by 10ft which is a good size but the ceiling is only about 6ft 4in high
Will this affect me in getting a projector as opposed to an LCD?
If a sofa is placed in the middle of the room I presume that the projection will be blocked, this would limit me to having the sofa against the backwall and have lots of open room (I suppose I can move the sofa about!)
If the room is 6ft high will the image be distorted and is this an ok height?
I've been looking at all the beginners guides etc but wouldn't mind some real world advice
If anyone else has converted a cellar would be great to hear advice from them too (cost / problems / results)
I intend to get to a place that can demo projectors to pick one out once the room is done but if I can't acheive what I really want then I'll go the LCD route
Another thing is that I would like the DVD player etc not at the rear of the room, I presume cable length would be an issue
So many questions! sorry
Thanks in advance
Matt
