| Re: New Home Construction - How big should the A/V room be?
I only have one comment about the screen:
I would not paint a screen unless it fell exactly on one horizontal drywall piece in the middle. Drywall and plaster is almost impossible to get perfectly flat. There are usually seams with mud buildup. All this could cause a "speedbump" in the screen, which once you notice, you will not be able to un-notice.
If the screen was across only one board laid horizontally, none of the image would be on the seams, so it would probably be okay, so long as the screw holes were filled right.
And I have never seen a perfectly flat all-plaster wall. What looks flat at a glance and what is flat enough for a screen are very different.
That all being said, I have a $500 fixed frame screen (Greywolf II) and love it. The pull down versions are much cheaper. So you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good screen.
Best of luck.
