Hi Homer;I believe toooo big is just right.---In your case I'd say screen size around the 80's.First of all, most all projectors aren't for daytime viewing. Any light washes out the pic. to some degree.I actually have a great projector Sim2--300xtra--96'screen, and a great stand-alone hdtv JVC hdila.61 The jvc can be watched with little effect from light. (I sit 11.6 away.) With the screen cost factored in there are some decent projectors that will come to just about the cost of the JVC. The jvc is just more versatile. While 61 is pretty large the 96 movie screen makes the 61 look small,after a movie or 2.
Front projection or not?
Based on "recommended" screen to distance calculation of 2x, sitting 120 inches (10 feet..) from the screen gives me a max screen size of 60 inches.
I was toying with the idea of a front projector, but what would be the advantage of that over a plasma, LCD or rear projection (newer tech) tv?
Budget around 3k.
