Get The Right Sized Projector Screen For Your Room!


Game Room Decor


If you’ve made the decision to go with a projector system in your room then you’ll need to find a high quality home theater screen to go along with it. So there are likely a number of questions that are running through your mind.

How big can you get the screen? Who makes the best home theater projector screen? Do you even need a home theatre screen and more? These are all the questions you will need to answer.



Home Theater Screen
Does The Size Really Matter?

As far as the size of the screen, you will find that it’s a matter of personal preference. You will, however, need to find out your aspect ratio before you begin searching. If you have no idea what that means it is a measurement that describes the number of units width to a number of units high. The traditional television screen is 4:3. This means four units wide to every three units high. Once you determine what type of aspect ratio you are looking for you can begin searching for the home theater screen.

Get Up Close And Personal
With Every Home Theater Projector Screen.

Decide how big you want the screen to be by checking out a few systems in the store. Determine what screen looks the best for you. You should also consider the size of the room that the screen will go into. You don’t want a gigantic screen in a tiny room; you will find it very difficult to view. At the same time, you don’t want the screen to be too small so that you can’t see it well from your seating area.

Try to view as many of the screens as you can. And also make sure that they are in action. The only way to truly know what you will like is to see it working. You can try to judge all you want from your armchair, but you really have to get close to the home theater screen to understand what the dimensions look like.

And don't forget that depending on your room size, you may only be able to place the movie projector a certain amount of feet away from the screen. This can have an impact because usually the further away the projector the larger an image you can project onto the screen. If you can't go far enough back with the projector then common sense will tell you that you won't need a huge screen, just a home theater screen big enough to fit the largest image you can project.

Home Theater Screens Need Space
For Many Different Reasons.

You should also make sure that you have a sufficient space in your home theater for the screen. While most of them can be drawn back up, you don’t want interference when you are viewing. And don’t forget that when you’re not viewing, if your screen doesn’t go up then make sure it’s out of the way of the other games and what not you have in your home theater room. You don’t need a pool cue or dart going through the screen the first day you have it up.

Also make sure that you will be able to position your home theater screen in a way that does not allow direct light to fall on it. Whether it is sunlight or the position of your lighting system, it will interfere with the picture quality. That is also why blackout curtains play a role in home theaters.


















Do You Really Need
A Home Theater Screen?

Many people have found that they enjoy a home theater screen with their projector system for their entertainment purposes. Some will never be able to own a regular television again; so happy they are with their choice.

But there is an alternative, you could simply use a wall instead of a home theater projector screen. You’ll need to make sure it’s a smooth wall and painted white but it works quite well if done right. A friend of mine uses only a wall for his projector screen and it looks great. It saves a little money and no hassle of putting a screen up or down. So you do have choices.

And you should be happy with your choice. Just make sure you decide on your budget before you go shopping and stick to it. You should be able to find a range of prices online to judge what you should be paying. The cost of a home theater screen might be significantly less online, so you should check there first. Take into account the cost to ship your item and make sure that you are truly getting a deal.
