Hi guys,
So in a few weeks, I am taking possession of a new house that has a dedicated media room.
It is a dedicated theater room in a modern house, but only 10.5 feet wide, and 20 feet deep, with 10-foot ceilings. It has no windows, but just 1 set of doors at the rear. I am open to repainting and doing minor remodeling work to this room if necessary.
There are many decisions to make here, but the 2 BIGGEST issues are these:
- Should I go with a projector, or just get a large OLED television?
- What 2 subwoofers should I get for this room? (whole other discussion) See here: https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/choose-2-subs-for-my-new-theater-room-details-inside.120495/
What are the advantages of a projector in this room, aside from the obvious larger image?
What are the cons of having a projector?
It does seem to me, as a projector novice, that having a high-end projector might be overkill for this room with limited space and seating. I did not realize that 4K projectors seem to start at $3500+, and then also require a very expensive customized screen. It is unlikely that I'd ever have more than 4 people able to fit in this room.
Knowing what you video experts know NOW... should I go with something like a 65, 77, or larger TV in this space? Or go with a nice 4K projector and screen setup?
Any insights and reasoning would be appreciated.
