1st question: Room size is 12x22 completely light controlled. First row of seating will be about 14'10" give or take a few inches. Projector is a Mitsubishi hd1000u. I can mount the projector anywhere I need in the ceiling. I will be using an acoustically transparent screen on a false wall so I wont need room for speakers. Should I go with 110" or 120"? I put tape on the studs and 110" looks pretty good, but it feels like it could be bigger. I know its personal preference, but I dont want the screen to be too big and make the room look funny.
2nd question: What type of lights should I use in the soffit above the screen to give the wash effect? I know people use cans, but is there a specific size or type? Will 3 be ok? In the rest of the ceiling I will have 6 cans, and I plan on putting 6 sconces on the wall. The 6 cans that are in the room would be nice for cleaning or just showing off the room, but probably wouldnt be on any other time. Im not sure if I should pull those down and just use the sconces for light or not (they were installed before I planned on a theater room) Opinions on that are welcome as well.
