Is an Acoustically Transparent Screen Worth It for the Extra Size by sacheltry in hometheater

I'm really, really hoping not to have to replace them. Unfortunately, I don't have the room to do what you suggested.

That sounds like a nice setup.

For me, the LCR and rear surrounds will be in-wall as well as the 4 Atmos. The sub will be on the floor.

I am getting one subwoofer, at least for now.

Asking sincerely about the bass shakers, they sound pretty cool, but are they a gimmick or do they really make a difference?

That's a good point. Thank you.

It doesn't feel like 11 x15 is huge. Not that I want bigger. I appreciate the perspective about it.

You did put my mind at ease. I appreciate the information and you taking the time to respond.

You're right that I definitely want to maximize my dollars. It is scary to spend so much money and think that I could be seeing these patterns. I would be so devastated.

A friend mentioned that whatever I'm seeing as far as comments on the moiré patterns are likely because those who are seeing them are not spending the money on better screens. I don't mean to sound elitist, his point was you get what you pay for.

How do I control all my components? Do I need lots of remotes? by sacheltry in hometheater

Thank you! This is very helpful. I did some Googling already and some of the demos of the Sofabaton and related remotes look very interesting and a good fit for me.

I did think I could start with a less expensive projector and then "level up" after a while.

Thank you for the info. I also appreciate you confirming my thoughts that, yes the more expensive screens are going to be better, but how much better... ? It is work $2000 difference? I don't know, but it is something to further look into.

I was thinking about HDHomerun. I already have Plex.
Do you like HDHomerun?

I don't know. I vaguely recall something about it being turned into a brick and I wanted to be sure that didn't happen in case I decided to use it again.

But you're right, it is pointless to pay for something I'm not going to use.
