Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Need advice on a projector

Good day all

I am planning on building a new house. My wife has given' me a room in the basement that is 18' x 25' for a dedicated home theatre. She is giving me total control over this space (yes, I am very lucky, did I mention she is a huge NASCAR fan too). Anyways the room will have no windows so I will have total control of the light. I would like to get a projector and need some advice.

LCD or DLP? 1080i or 1080p? How big should I plan on the screen to be? I would also like some info on aspect ratio. Black bars with 16x9? Is there a way to get rid of them? I need the works here as I only have experience with 4x3.

Any help would be great!

Thanks
