I spent untold hours on this site yesterday. Haven't purchased projector, but am planning for it.
Sat in my viewing position and took this photo of current view of my setup.
Then photographically composited what things "might" look like with the
projector installed instead of the RPTV. I was sitting on our couch, 20 feet back.
I would be moving the tv completely out.
Would purchase a lower profile equipment stand, something like indicated and place the
center channel on top.
Would possibly mount the PJ in middle of the sloped room where the ceiling fan now hangs. (approximately 10-12 feet from the screen wall pretty much above the glass table.) The subwoofer is built into an extra fireplace box to the immediate right. We have a gas fireplace, but right beside it was another hole to store wood, so I converted that into a place to stash the M&K sub and covered the hole with black lycra spandex swimsuit material on a speaker frame. (a whole other story.)
This is my best "visualization" of how things would work in my combination living room and theater. Would anticipate projecting on the wall only. No screen.
Here is the photo.

I'm wondering if you all think this would work ok, given the distances involved. I have $2k to allocate to the PJ purchase Any recommendations for this setup and distance are appreciated. If it helps....here's a 360 pan of the entire room to get a better idea of what I have to work with....

This has been a great forum to utilize with little or no slamming and I have really appreciated reading almost all of it. No kidding. Please tell me what will work in this room arrangement.
Thanks very much.
