 Still need to get a screen for it though. Rocking about 126" on the light tan painted wall. Still looks amazing.

You pretty much have to use those projectors in a dungeon or only at night. Still, I hear the PQ is amazing.

wow, what kind of viewing distance are you finding optimal so far? I don't think we could pull something like that off.

Congrats, aske and sal! If you are looking for screen suggestions, I have been very happy with my Carada Criterion series (106" ??). It was suggested by my neighbor who introduced me to HT. He is an engineer / project manager for CNN, very anal, and tried out a number of screens before deciding on Carada. He felt you had to spend 3-4x the money before seeing noticeable improvements. I believe it was about $750.
Enjoy!!

thanks, those look nice but are a bit out of our budget right now I think. Especially at the size we want to go. |
