I have a white, 2' x 2' dropped ceiling in my HT. I have recently upgraded from a RPTV to an LCD FP, (Sony HS20). I am getting a Da-Lite HCCV screen and my pj will be ceiling mounted. I intend to paint the back wall burgundy red and install burgundy red velvet drapes around the screen and the first 3 feet of the side walls.
I am considering replacing the ceiling tiles with black tiles. My wife has suggested we replace just the first two rows of tiles with black, instead of the entire room, to keep it from looking so cave-like. As I look at my image in the room, the first two rows of tiles are definitely the brightest lit with reflected light. I suspect that the biggest gain with reducing ambient light will be in these first two rows, with diminishing marginal benefits as tiles are replaced further from the screen. Obviously the biggest benefit would be with replacing all the tiles with black, but my wife doesn't like this idea.
Any thoughts or comments on this approach would be appreciated.
