I couldn't figure out what to search for to find threads on this issue, so I appoligize if this has been asked and answered many times by the regulars.
My wife and I plan on buying a new house in a year and the one we really like has a fantastic family room that is 2 stories high. Problem is that it has two 4'x6' windows on one side way up high that my wife will refuse to put any kind of blinds/curtains on.
I'm wondering what this will do for watching the RPTV that we'll get after moving in. The TV will be on an adjacent wall to those windows - so we shouldn't have direct sunlight either in our eyes or on the screen. I've never had an RPTV so I'm not sure how dark the room needs to be. Does it need to be darker than using a direct view TV? If not, will just getting those windows tinted be enough?
The biggest problems will be watching football on Sundays and movies in the summer before the sun goes down.
There's no way to test this in a showroom, so I ask for your help and experiences.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Rob
