I am going to have to disagree with you as well, sorry man . I have a 92" screen and sit about 10-11 feet away, I would not have it any other way, I have not heard the 2.5x rule? I have seen the 1.5x rule alot (which would put the ideal seating at 11.5ft). Really, seating distance is all up to the viewer, everyone has difference preferences.

I would recommend a projector, I am seated at 10-11 feet from a 92" projected from a Sanyo Z5, and I love the freaking huge picture!!

photon,

I have probably the setup you are looking for, a 92" screen, M22s, EP500, QS8s. Gimme a PM and mabey we can arrange a demo. However, I warn you, after you have heard my M2s above and below the screen, you will probably want the same (the dialog literally comes from the middle of the screen, its great!).

Lol, Mojo said you would be by

For screen size, I came up with 92" based on the THX and SMPTE calculators and give that I'm gearing towards HD content. With the projector I can go smaller or bigger too, so I probably won't get an actual screen until I play with it for a while to get a comfortable size.

And yeah, I've seen others that have that size at that distance and are happy with it, so I'll give it a try.

Is your projector 1080p or 720p? I've been thinking of a 1080p projector, but they're a bit more expensive and I'm not sure if it's worth the extra cost.

I'll send you a PM :-)
