Hi,
I'm finishing my basement and need some advice about Projecter and screen installations, before I start putting drywall. I have been a fan of this site for long time and I appreciate any and all the help any body can offer me.
1. I'll be buying Sony VW60 or JVC RS1/2
2. I'm planning to use the wall as the projection surface (I heard about a paint which can be used to paint the wall for projection). Is there any diadvantanges in using painted wall than using a proper screen.
3. Available Width of the wall is 120 inch (after excluding space for front side speakers and Media cabinet). Height of the wall is 80 inch (after excluding space for Center speaker).
4. On projectorcentral, for this size of picture (120x68), it shows that I need throw distance of 17.1 feet but I want to install the projector ceiling mounted at 10.4 feet away from the screen and my viewing distance is 25 feet. Is it possible to have this picture size from the throw distance of 10.4 feet or do I have to keep it at 17 plus feet.
5. Celing height is 8 ft but I have a beam which is in beetween Projector and Screen. Beam is about 12 inch down from the ceiling. How much I will have to hang the projector down from the ceiling for beam to not come in the way of projection.
6. As I understand that these two models are Anarormic lens capable (for 2.35 picture), which I'll be buying later on, what kind of rough-in setup is needed (as far as extra wires, extra power point, extra space) which i should do for future, where I'm mounting the projector.
7. Apart from above mentioned concerns, should I be concerend about anyother minor or major detail about this setup.
Sorry for the long post but I'm at a point where I need to calculate the space and distances about this setup before I can continue with rest of the basement finishing.
Thanks a lot.
