Help me chose a projector screen
Posted by: Billy Rubin on 18 February 2013
Renovating a house.
Opportunity to put in a retractable in-ceiling screen for future use.
Must achieve very neat finish when closed.
Viewing distance would be 3 m.
When down, screen would sit in front of speakers (this will be a Naim 2 channel system used mainly for music but with occasional movie duties in 2.0).
Acoustically-transparent material therefore required.
Potential projectors Panasonic AT6000, Sony VPL-HW50ES or similar.
THX criteria suggest a screen of 90 inches diagonal would be ideal although other authorities suggest a screen diagonal of 70 to 80 inches would be better for the given viewing distance.
Content will be mainly 1080p.
