As far as the sizes I recommended, as I said this is based on my (and Matt's for that matter) experience of doing many installs in many different sized (and shaped - one room we did was octagonal! - but it still got a 120" screen...) rooms with varying size screens from 84" to 135". Matt's own cinema has a 135" screen and the front row of seats is about 5-5.5m back, and I can say that from the front row (where I always sit) I wouldn't want that screen any bigger. Re: How big is too big?! 7Nov 29, 2009 7:00 pm Thanks again Rod I think I'll just have to wait until I'm actually ready to start setting the projector etc up and see what I end up going with for a projector in the first place! That will then more or less dictate the screen size etc I guess...I still think I'll be aiming to go larger rather than smaller...at the end of the day, I'd rather feel like i went slightly to big, than regret not going bigger!! I'll let everyone know how it all turns out anyway Cheers Adam Re: How big is too big?! 8Dec 05, 2009 10:19 pm yeah go big.. I sit 3.9m from 108" and I would have gone bigger if I could have.. but a bigger screen wouldn't have fitted on the wall! the saying "there is no such thing as too big".. well it is true in my book.. I've never seen a screen that was too big.. but I've certainly seen alot that are too small! Re: How big is too big?! 9Dec 06, 2009 9:03 pm wakeboardandy yeah go big..

Hello BuildingACT, 3 years on...how did it all pan out? It will be neat but you won't have much freeboard. At least they are not weep holes. Are you in a high intensity rainfall region?
