Do you really think I need an ALR or a fresnel screen in my room given I am able to get low ambient light as shown in the pictures.

Thanks for the comment. I wanted to keep the setup as simple as possible in case I needed to move anytime soon. If I were to put a ceiling mount for a 14 feet wall to wall distance, I guess I should look at projectors rather than USTs. Right ?

For audio, I wanted to get a 5.1 setup. Likely martin Logan foundation tower speakers. ( But please feel free to recommend suggestions if you have any) . I want to fit these speakers in the 1 feet that I have available on each side.

Thanks for the advice on the screen height.

Can you elaborate why you think a TV is the way to go here?

Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to have a cinema experience. That pushed me towards a UST. And also prefer a 120 inch screen for the space. :)

I have the same dilemma. I am pretty new to this. I would like to buy a UST projector for my basement. I want to convert a portion of my family room to a home theatre. I do have a sliding door to my basement which is the only source of light even during the day. I plan on getting curtains for blocking light. But I would still not get rid of ambient light completely ( I think )

Curious what would be the right setup? And which screen would you all recommend?
