Using the Carada calculator, with a throw distance of 12 ft. using the PT-AE4000U proj., the maximum screen size I can have is 88 inch diag. Carada has this in the exact screen size of 2.35:1. I think I would rather have the wider screen, even though narrower aspect ratios would be a smaller picture. Here's another option, get both size screens, a 2.35:1 and a 1.78:1 and swap between them. (Just a thought).

They have 3 different brightnesses with a gain of 1.4, 1.0 or 0.8. I'm leaning toward the 0.8 for extra contrast, perhaps. The 1600 lumen should compensate for a darker screen.
