    Painting sub.....what to use?

    I'm going to try and put some fibredecor on mine. Going for that textured look. Just need to get some black stain to mix in. Never tried it before and never heard of anyone trying it before, so I don't really know what to expect.

    And likewise, artistic integrity and image fidelity can never be the starting point if personal preference has any priority. And which of those 3 is more important to the customer do you think? There is nothing wrong with starting from personal preference when the 'rules' you speak of are...

    Distance from seating to screen

    Basically this is what it comes down to. After all the reading and experimenting I settled on a 8' wide screen sitting 12' away. That gives me a viewing angle of around 37 degrees. To me, it's perfect. Meaning that the size of the screen makes up for the artifacts and imperfections. Sure if I...
