I need to know more about screen gain. I’m really ignorant on that. My current screen is 1.0 gain I think. Looking at Stewart’s site, maybe I should instead be using a 1.3 gain screen, to reduce reflections off the walls. (And partnered with a projector that I can stop the iris down to get the...

I think you’re making the right decision. :) Your room, similar width to my room, I don’t see the benefit of having a smaller screen for 75%+ of viewing just so some movies can be wider.

I’m of the same opinion. But my room doesn’t support a widescreen. I’ve got the biggest screen —16:9– that fits the space and I just accept that “widescreen” is smaller than “TV” because I don’t want a 100” “TV” screen for 80% of my viewing so that 20% is 120” 2.35/ I can see if you’ve got a...

I appreciate @DaViD Boulet tackling the question — saved me some typing :) But I heard the question a bit differently, perhaps as @Sam Posten heard it. UHD supports 3840 x 2160 which is 16:9 4k*. So only 16:9 content gets maximum pixel / data content. 2.35:1 content would be 3840 x 1634, with...

Sorry to hear about early demise of amps! That stinks. It’s possible the move cross-country hastened its demise. It got dropped and the shock caused a micro-crack in a trace. That trace then failed over the past couple years of thermal cycling from normal use. It’s tough choice to decide...

Good podcast. I enjoyed it. Gave me some things to consider for future upgrades. Glad @Brian Dobbs asked about speaker to screen distance. I think I’ve heard that woven screens can be closer to speakers than perf. But if Stewart can do 4” with their microperf, that’s probably fine for my room.

Looking forward to listening to this one. One of my lurking anxieties for hopeful-one-day 4K projector is whether I need a new screen. I have a $2500 Screen Innovations (SI) woven AT screen. At the time I thought SI was a higher-end brand with a great reputation. But I don't see anyone talk...
