Screen choice advice
Having moved from my old, much smaller, dedicated HT room (which was a total batcave) to a new place with a much much larger room but with worse light control, I'm after advice on what screen to put up here.
Dimensions are:
Seating distance: 15'5"
Projector distance: 18'7"
Projector height: 8'1"
Projector is a JVC HD950 (RS25 in the US?)
Room is fairly light coloured - side walls floor to ceiling dark red velvet drapes (to cover huge windows), ceiling is light coloured, but 14'9" high. Floor is fairly light too. Seating is about 13' wide in one row (room is 19' ft wide)
I'm not looking to watch with the drapes open, use is going to generally be at night with them closed, but light control won't be perfect from that.
I'm thinking of a 135" diagonal wallmount electric screen.
Given what I've got, I think I'm looking at the Firehawk G4 as being my best choice to deal with the less than ideal light control, and I think I need what help with the gain I can get as my projector is going to be on the dim side with that size screen - I think I just about make 16ftL. I think the viewing angle of the G4 should be ok since I make the viewing angle 35 degrees assuming I'm calculating it right?
Anyone got any comments or suggestions?
