Hi guys,
We're moving into a new place next week and my old 65" RPTV will be sold.
Planning on picking up a Panny AE700 from Costco, and trying to nail down a good screen size.
My current choice of screen would be the Dalite High Power, 16:9/1.78 ratio. I would love to go with a silverstar, but can't justify paying well over $2k for the screen instead of $1k or so.
The question is, how large a screen can I go with? The room width is 12 feet, and our viewing distance will be 15.5' back. Considering either a 119" (diag) or 133" (diag)screen.
Will the AE700 put out enough light for a 133" (diag) screen? Ambient light will be pretty low, there's 2 small windows which I'll have dark curtains in front of. Walls are a white/cream color as is the carpet. (Nothing I can do about that).
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If anyone has some decent gear for sale at a wicked price, please send me a message. Looking for a new THX certified amp/preamp/receiver, new front speakers (Klipsch), a screen, cables, the works.
