Hi,
I have a room that is 2.9m (approx 115") wide and I want to fit a screen across the width. I read a few posts where people have bought a screen and then wished they had gone bigger from the outset, some even sell their screen and buy a bigger one. I want to get it right first time ..
I will be sitting 18 feet from the screen and I want a 16:9 aspect ratio.
What size scrren should I go for? I am thinking possibly 100" wide or should i go slightly smaller? I don't need to mont speakers either side of the screen as I have M&K K7's and they will work well underneath the screen.
My concern is how much does the screen material sit inside the screen casing on an electric screen? I also intend boxing in the screen so I need to allow for woodwork etc.
I have no idea how far away the projector will need to be to fill a screen of this size? Is there anyone out there using a projector on a 100" screen and sitting this far away? Could you give me an idea of waht DLP?LCD projectors I should be looking at for this kind of screen and view dist.
