Is there a rule of thumb for ideal seat distance from screen based on the screen width, in this case 12 foot wide 2.35:1 CH and a JVC RS-1 1080p projector? Thanks

I'd be at more like 15'. 12' may be pushing the limits, but for 2.35:1, I don't think that's *too* close if you're into the big movie effect. IOW, if you do 18', you're at the same 1.5:1 ratio I'm at with a 16:9 screen and half the resolution. I think those figures are *very* conservative.
