here is a quick shot of the screen size i am throwing from the projector.
this is using my Xbox One, starting up Rory McIlroy PGA tour video game.
the motorized screen is not installed currently. my wife and i are moving soon and i did not want to hang it just to take it all back down again. so i am sure the picture will be better with a screen behind it.
currently the projector is about 20 feet away, so i am throwing over a 110" screen size currently. i am pretty happy with it so far! :banana:

That's sweet Vdub! That's sort of what I have in mind with my basement, but I'm going to have to do some minor re-figuring of the layout before I can get to that.
Where in KS are you at, if you don't mind me asking?
two part question here.
1. what is everyone's speaker/surround sound setup?
i am currently running a Samsung HT-TZ512T surround sound. it was good when i was living in an apartment, has decent power (1200w) 5.1 with a 6 disc changer and wireless rear speakers. however i am looking for better audio clarity. also wouldnt mind having a receiver that has multiple input/outputs. currently i only have one HDMI and one optical audio port. so i have to pick and choose what gets to be in surround sound.
2. what is the best setup for seating?
i have been debating this a lot. havent been able to decide if i should go for individual recliners or one big massive over sized couch. i guess if you were coming over to watch a movie, what would you prefer to sit in if you had the choice?
Here is my HT room. It was a small space but I think I made the best off it. The in-wall rack I did turned out pretty good. It backs the laundry room so it's totally open to fiddle with cables and also no heat issues.

It sure is. Xmas present from my wife. I actually have an authentic autographed picture of darryl and his crossbow in the hallway leading into the room.Nice. Is that a Rick Grimes bobble head?
17' x 10'8"What are those room dimensions?
I've only recently started using it for music since I upgraded my 3 fronts a couple months ago. It's pretty decent. I don't listen to a ton of music down there though. Mainly movies, sports and gaming. The room holds sound pretty well even though it's not totally closed off. Overall I'm pretty happy with how music sounds so far.Sweet setup there Freddy. How's the setup with respect to music?
Here are my thoughts. My PJ lens is roughly 14' from the screen. I could move it up to 11' so the lens is 11' from the screen without any issues. Your PJ would basically be over your seating area like mine is. The closer you have your PJ to the screen the more you have to open up the lens which means you lose more light. If your room doesn't have a lot of natural light than you don't have to worry about needing a super bright PJ. If your room has lots of windows you will need a super bright PJ regardless. Super bright projectors are plentiful nowadays anyways.The house we are building has a room almost exactly that size. The problem I am running into is I have to let the wife out her desks and computer in there as well. This will leave me more like 11x11. Not sure I am going to be able to make it work.

Your seating distance would still be fine at that 10' range. When I game on mine I actually don't sit on my couch seats. I have a chair I put down right in front of my seating, so I'm probably only 9-10ft from my screen and have no viewing issues with that.
If your wife is not planning on working in her work space that often then you could just mount the PJ over top of that area. There will be a little fan noise from it, but if she's not going to be sitting there a lot while you are using your room then it won't matter I guess. My basement ceiling is quite low on the back half where my PJ is mounted and I don't notice the fan noise at all which is right over my head. There was a lot of ducting on the back half of that room so I had to box in and drywall that back half which makes it quite a bit lower the the front half which has a suspended ceiling.
Or if you just have your wife's desk in the corner instead of in the middle then you could mount your PJ there without any issues for her.
There is also the option of short throw projectors which are designed to be really close to the screen, so you could mount it a lot closer if you needed to. There aren't nearly as many short throw projectors as standard ones though. I don't think you would need it though.
Just use the projector central calculator to make sure how far you can mount a specific projector for a specific screen size.
Any Logitech universal remote users in here? I've got the Harmony One, but I'm considering upgrading. I'm interested to hear thoughts on some of the newer options!
I have the Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home. I love it. The touch screen is great. I have it programmed to start up the pj, cable box and receiver at start up. It was very easy to setup and program. No complaints at all thus far.Any Logitech universal remote users in here? I've got the Harmony One, but I'm considering upgrading. I'm interested to hear thoughts on some of the newer options!
