1) Go with a bright projector or have a separate TV for day-time viewing: If there is a fair amount of ambient light in the room, most projectors will dim considerably. If the room has some background light, it is important to either choose a bright projector, to go with a screen that reflects more light (Screen Innovations is such a company) or to have a separate TV for day-time viewing. Many of our theater set-ups have a motorized screen. This allows for the screen to drop over a wall-mounted TV for night-time viewing. Use the brighter wall-mounted TV during the day and the bigger, badder theater set-up at night!
2) Control ambient light with curtains, shades, etc. This is important for an impressive picture that has great contrast and colors. Less background light = a better picture.
3) Go BIG: I've been doing this for 22 years and I literally have never had a client say that the TV or projection screen is too large. It's a good idea to tape off the wall becforehand to get an idea of what the screen will look like. Leave the tape on the wall for a week or so to help make it tangible.
There are MANY other factors to consider such as speaker placement, room acoustics, component location, seating, universal remotes, etc. Fortunately, you have a partner in this. Interested?
