Common questions
How big a TV do I need for my room?
For immersive viewing, divide your seating distance in inches by about 1.2. For more relaxed viewing, divide by 1.5 to 2. A 9 ft seat suits roughly a 65-90 inch screen.
Do I need a projector screen or can I use a wall?
A proper screen, especially ambient light rejecting material, noticeably improves brightness, contrast and uniformity compared with a painted wall.
