Hi all, please be patient as I have just delved into this gi-normous world
of projectors and screens.

I am looking at a home theatre and am stumped on projectors n screens. I
have read somewhere about the gyprock screen which I think is GREAT as its
well within my budget but how does it perform. Im looking at around 2-2.5 m
screen(widescreen).Any info appreciated.

Next is the projector itself im not sure about all the jargon. Im on a
budget of about 3-4000 dollars. Any recommendations please.

Now for the room. Its 4340 x 5400 and the screen will be on a 5400 wall and
ill be sitting one couch opposite and one at right angles. The room has 2
windows which I will get 100 percent blockout coverings on. Is my screen
hope too large for this room and can you all please throw as much info my
way as after looking on the net Im really confused. Im in perth so a
retailer here would be great. Anything else you need to know just ask and
Ill provide the ino. As im spending a reasonable amount Id like to get the
best possible to suit myself and my budget.

Thanks Shaun

Hi Shaun,

I hope I can help you. First without putting them down, don't go to a
major department store. What I think you need is a company focused on
the customer.
I represent Home Theatre by Design. You can see my website at

www.hometheatrebydesign.com.au


We design and build dedicated acoustically engineered theatre rooms.
From small plasma installs to money is no object, we are confident
that what our client wants, we can achieve. While at the same time
maintaining a strict budget.

At the moment we have Optoma H56 projectors on special.
They retail for around $6500-$7000.
I can offer them for $4500 and we can talk about installation costs.

I hope I hear from you soon.

Sincerely

Adam Kingston
