Hello,
I'm a newbie, and this is my first home improvement project. I'm planning to setup a home theater in my basement. My basement is 22ft long by 15ft wide, and has a 8ft ceiling. I plan to place the projector screen on the 15ft wall, and have my seating around 13ft from the screen. I did some screen size calculations based on THX recommendations, and I came up with a 100" screen. Before doing the calculations, I was thinking of setting up a 120" screen - but now I wonder if installing such a large screen would leave space for my tower speakers, center and sub. and if it will be too low or too large for comfortable viewing.
What is your recommendation?
Also, I plan to mount a LCD TV on the 15ft wall and have the projector screen drop from the ceiling in front of the TV. I'm planning to get the EliteScreen Starling Tension Series electric screen, and pair it with the Epson 5030UB.
What are your thoughts on the screen? And how much gap do you suggest I leave so that the screen doesn't touch the TV?
Thanks.
