The rule of thumb for screen size is for every foot
away from the sreen you add 10' of screen diagonal
size. For Example, if your main viewing position is 10' away from the screen then you need a 100" screen. This rule may be a little outdated with the new resolution of projectors (1080p) and was mainly made to eliminate the "screen door effect" . The real question now is where in a real theater do you sit? Right up front or towards the back? This is a great determination of your periphial vision tolerance. If you sit in the front row, you might want to go with a 120" screen vs. a someone elses tolerance of a 100" screen.

Here is a table of screen sizes. When doing a consultation we will take some painters tape and actually tape the size on
the wall. Take a seat
and see what works for you.
100" Screen = 87.5" Wide / 49.5" High
106" Screen = 92.75" Wide / 52.25" High
110" Screen = 95.9" Wide / 53.9" High
120" Screen = 105" Wide / 59" High
