My apologies for reiterating on this many-times-discussed question.
I have a living room like this (65'' TV on the wall):
Here is a picture of the seating area:
We mostly watch movies and TV shows. No sports, the gaming is very minimal and casual.
The room could be completely darkened during movie nights, but during the day or on casual watching there could be some ambient light coming from the kitchen area (from where the pictures are taken).
The seating distance is 11' (3.3m), which makes even 85'' TV look small on that wall.
I tried top-mount UST with 120'' GrandView ALR screen, which looked like this:
but it failed miserably with kitchen lights on and ceiling being white. Seems like low-gain UST screens can't do much with ambient light coming from the side, sadly.
Now I'm thinking of a more traditional 110' normal-gain ALR screen with something like LG HU810PW. I have no doubt that it will work great on movie nights with everything darkened and lights off, but I wonder - is it possible to make it not completely suck with at least some lights on in the kitchen? Are there any other options that might work better here?
