Right now I am shooting at my drywall at about 140 inches 16:9. And Its plenty bright, even in THX mode. I have an epson 5030ub on loan I am trying out right now. I would like to go 150 16:9 or 158 2.35.1 but everything I have read seems to show projectors have a problem going larger them 130 inches.
When I look at what most people have on this site, projector wise ,no matter the cost, very rarely do I see screens go above 130. So is that because people cant afford the bigger screens, and don't want to do the DIY route, or Can these projectors just no bring enough brightness? I have seem some of the theaters people have on this site, and they are beautiful, so i know its not price limits for some.
I have the room to go 150+ as well, so that is my problem. I zoomed the image down and made it the size of 120, 130 135 and smaller and larger, and the problem is especially on 3d. I hate the smaller size. Now the way I am shooting at only allows me to go 140, but I will be switching it so I can shoot longer and put the projector farther back, and then I will see what 150 plus looks like. But the thing is i want to understand what I am getting to without buying the screen if it will be to big for the current projector or anything even new. I hope I have explained this well enough for everyone to understand, Oh and I cant shoot on the wall where the BIG screen will go as there is an opening of 118 inches length wise and 3 feet deep wise where there are 2 windows. So when I get the screen it will cover that whole area and moutn on the 2 sides. Look forward to the reply and help. thank you.
