I have been a long time reader but have never had the money to get in the action until now. I graduated college a few months ago and landed my dream job as a commercial appraiser. I am no longer living on roman noodles and ham sandwiches so I am SUPER excited to get into a entry level HT. I bought a townhome last month and will finish my renovations this week.

Here comes your part. Here are my dimensions in my living room and I hope it will be enough to get my screen big enough. The living room is shaped like a rectangle. I am trying to get a 4x8 size picture on my south wall. The length of the room is a little over 17.5 feet. Do you guys think that will be enough distance to get my 4x8 picture i desire? Also I think I am going to go with the Mitsubishi HC1500 projector. I saw it at Best Buy and feel in love. What do you guys think about it? I look forward to hearing your comments and learning more from you guys. Thanks!

Hello Chris and welcome to the Shack!

Good to see another Alabamian here.

I'm going to suggest to start a new thread in our Home Theater Projectors forum for your question so that it will get the proper attention... being this is just an introduction forum here. But, on the surface, a 4' high screen at a 16 x 9 aspect ration will be about 85" wide and will result in a 97-98" screen. With that projector your throw range will be 12'-14' from the screen. Recommended seating is 10'-16' back. Your room should be plenty deep.

Hey there, welcome aboard.

Oh, and I agree with Sonnie's assessment of your projection screen size.
