I just purchased a BENQ 1070 and am looking for screen options. Viewing distance is around 10-11 ft, so I'm thinking ~110" screen would be a good fit.
My room is currently configured with a custom entertainment center against the wall, which sticks out about 2.5 ft. It currently holds a LCD TV, book shelf speakers, a/v components, etc. For wife approval purposes, I would like to keep the entertainment unit, and have a motorized projector screen hidden in the ceiling.
The problem is the ceiling height. It looks like most motorized screens only have 15-18" of black, which means with my 10 ft ceilings, the bottom of a 110" screen would be 4 ft above the floor. I've read that ideally, eye level should be 1/3 up the screen.
A couple questions:
Is this going to be a major problem in terms of viewer fatigue? I also have kids that like to lay on the floor and watch.
Anything I should look at in terms of screen viewing angle cababilities?
How common is this problem and are there any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance!
