The experience was awesome, and totally convinced the Mrs. that we should do it too! Wouldn't trade it for anything.

As far as screen size, you should try to get about a 30 degree viewing angle from your main seating position. I have a 102" Carada bright white screen and we sit about 13' away. Still looks good from the back of the room (28') and from the closest seat (on the side about 4'). No pixels- even from that close.

Here's an article that may help: http://www.finishabasement.com/home_...creen_size.htm, and also a very handy viewing distance/screen size calculator: http://myhometheater.homestead.com/v...alculator.html.

How do you mean a 30 degree angle? I'm a little confused.
