I am building my HT and have gotten
Epson 5030UB projector and Onkyo TXNR1010 (got a great deal on a refurb)
Room has no windows and lighting will be minimal when I am using it. (When i is just the wife using it more lights will be on but she would be fine with a 10" black and White TV.
Viewing will be pretty much just TV shows, Movies, and college Football
I haven't figured out the size of sceen I will need as I am not home right now and I am waiting for the projector to arrive to test it out and figure out what screen size we want to go with.
I think it will be in the range of 100-120"
I am planning on a fixed frame screen that mounts directly to the wall.
For the projector I based my choice there off reviews that said it was good bang for the buck and while there are better out there you have to pay a significant price point to that improvement. I am looking but haven't found something similar for screens.
Screen prices are all over the place it seems like.
What brand / price point level should I be looking at? I want something that is good that is going to last, but I nor my family are critical enough to notice most screen issues that the hardcore/super technical see.
I would like to keep screen price under $1k and as low as possible if there isn't substantial gains made. However if there is something at a higher price point that is a signifcant step up for the cost I can adjust my budget.
Thanks for any help that you can offer
