sorry try 108"

that's weak, try 96

I am a vegetarian not because I love animals but because I HATE plants.

It could be worse…you could be on fire.

sorry try 108"

lol - nice

i'd go bigger but don't have the depth in the room, even 96 is pushing it.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

So what is the minimum distance required for that size… Three foot rule applicable here?

this one's better for getting the minimum distance

lol - quite the derail

the minimum distance is dependent on a number of factors besides screen size; the source quality makes a huge difference. for high quality program material like blu ray, 1.75:1 viewing distance to screen size is about as low as you'd want to go
