Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well and I apologize if I am not posting in the right area - it's been about two years since I've posted on this forum. Anyhow, I have recently moved home and our LCD TV is starting to show it's age (colored lines in the middle and just too small for where we are sitting). My dad was thinking of getting a projector and that's where I'd love to get your opinions on. I attached some photos to help give a better perspective.
I realize the room where we'd be doing most of the watching would not be optimal for viewing during the day, but I'm hoping we can improve the darkness during the day with better blinds (they're like 20 years old lol) plus most of our watching is during the evening. In the images below, I tried to capture what the room looks like. In the first picture, my dad was hoping to cut out a section in the lower ceiling (the non vaulted part) to house a projector. I tried to edit the picture and show a green square to show where he was thinking to make it clearer. Would this work or would it be better to mount the actual projector to the ceiling?
For the measurements:
The length of the room from the wall (where the TV is shown) to the opening area/ceiling is about a 19' and the ceiling is about 8' high. Would a 19' throw be too far for a projector? I tried looking up some rough calculations online and on epson's calculator it approximates the image size about 192".
So I'd definitely love to get your thoughts if this is
1) worth pursuing
2) recommendations on one that is
