I am in the midst of turning a room in my new home into a projection room, and have been perusing the boards in hopes of finding some answers. I apologize, as I know these answers are here somewhere, but the sure enormity of the forums is overwhelming. I am hoping that some AV guru would be able to give me some sound advice on the following:
What type of paint to use on the surrounding walls. The wife thinks she wants a dark gray wall. So, I guess, is there a recommendation on the brand/finish/shade? Any suggestions for ceiling color?
For the screen, I see that there are many solutions. I have a completely sealed off room in the middle of the house. light really can't get in if I don't want it to. I was looking at the goo systems stuff, but wanted to get an opinion on store bought paint as well. I was thinking of a light gray shade, but was hoping for a specific idea as far as paint brand/finish/method.
Here are my projector stats:
Sony vpl-bw5
2000 lumen
7000:1
1280x480
Picture is close to 100"
Finally, the room is rectangular. I am setting up a 5.1 surround, and I am not quite sure where to place the satellites. Should I put them on the long walls perpendicular to the screen, beside or just behind the seating area, or a bit further back, on the wall parallel to the screen, behind the seating?
Thank you for any assistance anyone can offer! I can't wait to get this thing finished!
