If I find them, I'll post them for flashback sake.

Rear: 2x Polk RTi8
Back: 2x Polk R50
Back-2: 1x Polk CSi3
Sub: 2x Klipsch RW-10D

Amp: NHT Power 2 (200 w/ch x2)

In the first few pics, you have a window right next to the screen and it looks to be fairly sunny out. How's the daytime viewing?

The screen is 63" H x 112" W or about 129" diagonal.

That was daytime around noon and of course during summer.
Also, notice the light from the back corner of the room.
In other words, you can judge for yourself.

From picture 6, the back corner light was off and the window was curtained.
So, look at the difference between pictures 5 and 6.

Are you using a special paint? I would highly recomment using projector paint or a projector screen... made a huge world diffrence for me.

I will probably do that one of these days.
I had planned to, but things are working fine as is.
I try not to think of what I am missing otherwise.

I know it's an old thread but it does look cool.

Did you do anything to the wall? Is it just a plain white wall? What is the avg life of your bulbs?

the paint is gray belge... kind of hard to describe... but works very well for contrast and color warmnest...
The bulb is spec'd at 4000 hours, and I have 2500+ hours used up already.

Nice, so are you going with a fixed screen?

Need to darken the room, you contrast is getting hammered pretty bad from light reflecting.
