After you've laid out your seating during the planning stage of
your basement, you'll know about how far away from the screen
you'll be sitting. Use the rule above, or an online distance calculator
to get a feel for the screen size you need.
When you go shopping to compare the different sizes and models,
stand about the same distance as you'll be at home and find the
size that suits you best.
Since my basement plan has the main viewing area about 10-12 feet
away, the 70" Sony would be a perfect fit. Even the seats at the
back of the room (about 30' away) should have a pretty good view
of a screen that large. If I go with the front projector I'll
have room for about a 100" screen- which will create a very immersive
home theater experience!
