I'd like your comments on my hometheater plans. I live in a small apartment and my only option is to use my livingroom as a hometheater-room. Obviously I don't want to paint the ceiling black and put dark wallpaper on the walls or rebuild the floor. I have to use it pretty much as it is. White ceiling, fairly light walls (yellow).
See attached picture. The room is about 12'x17' with a set of windows along one wall. When watching movies I plan to block the windows somehow and then also use a pull-down screen over them (red line in the picture). The projector will be on the back wall (red rectangle) and I will be sitting pretty much in the middle (red circle).
Will this work at all, or will there be too much light reflected from the ceiling and the walls? I hope to use a screen about 70"x50" and a 1200 lumen projector. I'm not too worried about the windows, I'll be watching mostly after dark.
Any comment or tips appreciated!
