8700ub for 11' throw?

What's your seating distance? (eyes to screen)

You should make sure your eyes can handle that large an image before buying a screen,

Many recommend projecting on a blank wall first, mark 106" out with masking tape at two opposite corners

(the calculator will give you screen width and height for any given diagonal , then just adjust zoom to fit between the masking tape markers

Next watch several movies, and adjust the size to suit your preference before choosing your screen.

Note the recommended seating distance in the calculator I posted reads 11'-5" to 18'.  

Not saying you're too close, only you will know for sure what you can handle without eyestrain or getting dizzy in fast action sequences.

I'm about 10' from a 120" screen with my Epson zoom almost maxed out, and it looks fantastic, check out my screen shots (link in my sig,)

I demo'd a 106" screen and a 112" at a 10' seating distance at a local Dealers HT store and it wasnt big enough. His 3rd room had a 120"

but the couch was set 14' away, I asked to move it 4' forward and watched Transformers and I was Sold on 120"!!!

Here's what I worked out for myself with the calculator (over 4 years ago)

My Epson is going on 5 years old now, 7000 hours+ and still as great as day 1 

One more thing about screen size, not all manufacturers measure their screens by viewing area,

Sometimes they provide overall screen dimensions, once you take away an aprox 1.5" border your diagonal viewing area is reduced by about 4"-5"

So "some" screens listed as a 106" might actually be only 100"-102" viewing area, read the specs carefully.

Based on the info posted in that link, That screen looks accurate for an actual 100" viewing area, (87" wide x 49" high)

Have you ever checked out a HT setup in person to see what your viewing angle tolerance is?

Viewing a scope movie (2.39:1 aspect ratio) at 87" wide from a 122" seating distance would put you at 1.4 screen widths

Which is very close to perfect for many people ,...about 7th row in the diagram below.

I'm at about the 5th row , just under 1:17 screen widths, with my 120"  screen that's actually about 102" wide viewing area (116" diagonal)

It's a little too much for some people, I have no issues with it at all, but I would never have known if I didn't test drive several setups first.

That's a killer package deal at Visual Apex! Jump on it before its gone.

Many people regret going too small with their first screen after a month or two, almost no one says "I went too big".

Remember a jump from 50-60 inch flat panel TV to 100" may seem like a HUGE step at first, but once your used to it, you may want 12" more.

The 106" screen would put you at happy medium 1.32, So if you think you can handle moving up 1 row it's cheaper to do it now.

Personally, knowing my tolerance level after 4+ years with my current setup, I'd totally max it out and

go with a 112" dia screen (1.257)  and be right at the SMPTE reference mark with a 43.4º viewing angle.

But that's just me.

Oh, and dont worry about the brightness on the Calculator, it will be about half that (or less) in a calibrated movie/theater mode,

it's easier to dial down a bright image than it is to crank up a dim projector and still maintain image quality/contrast.
