Aspect Ratio 2:35:1 or 16:9, Sent wrong screen what to do? - Blu-ray Forum

RuthlessCynic · 06-28-2015, 01:31 PM

This is a cross post after I realized I should probably be posting here.

I have an unusual room. There is some duct work which is blocking the top 5 inches of my projector to the screen. I wanted to note that the distance between the beams is 138 inches(the wall is much bigger but don't know what to do with those beams) 101 inches from the screen to the beams, beam length is 9.5 inches, 134 Behind the beams, 91 inches tall in the tallest area, 81 inches in the shortest. Its obnoxious because I received the wrong size screen, and now am debating whether its worth the hassle to get a replacement. I think it is, but this last order took a month.

Gallery thereof here. https://www.facebook.com/mitchell.ki...7603017&type=3

The screen I received was 72 x 140, the correct aspect ratio screen I should have received was 62.6250" x 147.25. This makes a huge difference in where I can place and mount my projector as well as my space. The additional loss of a foot is going to make me putting in a center channel very challenging. The biggest issue for me is that instead of getting a huge cinescope picture, I am now only getting one that is 55 inches by 140 give or take. Also as previously mentioned due to how everything is set up I am losing 6 inches at the top of the screen. There are pictures in the gallery that explain this better than I can.

Suggestions? Thoughts? Help!

I would inform the company and have them send you the correct screen, take back the incorrect one and they should be paying for the return shipping on the incorrect screen. While I am just looking from photos, it certainly looks too tall for that space. I have a scope screen almost the same size as the one you ordered (150" wide x 63.83" tall). Screens that large are tough to work with speakers if you are not running an AT screen and generally you need every non-screen inch you can get. Don't be forced to make a compromise you didn't agree to because of another person's mistake.
