Here is a link to a handy website, where you can compare screen sizes -

Fun to see how small HDTV's are compared to front projection !

Thanks, Craig!!  Really eye opening to see the difference between my current, and proposed screen size. Thanks for sharing!

It is fun to see just how small a " big " 75 inch HDTV would be next to a 120" screen.

Had a friend telling me " but I have a 65" TV ". Of course, when you watch a 2.35:1 movie on that 65" TV, it looks like this, compared to my 128" 2.35:1 StudioTek 130 -

It is so hard to enjoy a movie on our 4k 65" set since the 195" HT us torn down. I can't wait until I move, and build a new HT,

Yep, it is easy to go from a TV to a front projector and grin from ear to ear, but tough to go from a front projector back to a TV.

Thanks for the link Craig. I'm a math guy, but this website has made it much easier to compare and contrast dimensions and areas of various screen sizes. The visual is awesome too. Great website!

Plus, it's fun to bug your friends that think their 65" TV is huge - hee hee !

I won't be happy until I have a room that allows a true cinema size screen like the one pictured. When I go to the theater there is something magical about a movie on a really large screen. At home sitting closer to your screen to occupy the same field of vision is not the same.

I'm going to need a bigger house for that. And a divorce attorney ( there went the money for the bigger house ) !

Craig what is the width of your screen. I am limited to 11.5 wide, not bad. As for the giant screen I can only dream:)

Which one ? I have a 122" diagonal 1.78:1 screen ( Stewart Cima Neve ) and a 128" diagonal / 118" wide 2.35:1 StudiotTek 130. I blame you for becoming addicted to a bright image. 18.5 FL for Blu-ray, 38 FL for 4K.  10' seating distance. If only I could afford the Super Lumis stack !

You have the space to move your wall on the right side out a few feet, do you not? I think you could make it so that you could put a 15' wide screen in there, pretty easily.

Cant do Mike but I could get creative in other parts of the downstairs to max a 15 footer. What keeps me from doing this is cost just to gain 3 feet.

Craig youve got quit the setup. Looking good.

Pretty happy with my theater. The projector closet remains my other best decision !





But you've got a separate projector room, even better !
