I think the following would work really well (actually know this as I have built one in the past)

Room Ratio

1.0 : 1.6 : 2.3

Room Size

2445mm x 3912mm x 5624mm

Screen Size (MAX)
5624mm / 3.68 x 2.37 = 3622mm x 1528mm

Screen Size (MIN)

5624 / 5.18 x 2.37 = 2573mm x 1086mm

Seating Distances

MAX screen - Not less than 3056mm with 4584 being preferred.
MIN screen - Not less than 2172mm and not farther than 4344mm with 3258mm being preferred.

Surrounds to be at 3x image height...

Mark

PS You wil notice that even with the largest screen size there is roughly 150mm oneach side for the side masking curtains...
Hi Mark,

I do not understand the 3x image height for the surrounds. Having a 9' wide and 3.8' high screen you would have to hang the surrounds 11.4' from the floor????
