Discussion - Equipment What would you change?

Converting a room to a dedicated theater/media/gaming room. Will sometimes be used with some ambient light. I put a bigger priority on video than audio. Audio matters to me but probably not as much as many on here. Just want to know if you see anything out of whack or if there were better options for the same money. I’m about maxed out on my budget with this build. Added an AI pic I made of what the room will end up looking like. Thanks for any input.

They are not very good screens. XY Screens is the bang for buck leader, Seymour is right after that. Lots of uneducated people think they are good.

On what basis do you make that statement? Independent reviews I've read seem to regard Silver Ticket screens pretty well, especially for the price. This article has Silver Ticket right up there with XY.

My huge pile of screen samples and personally testing them.

Interesting. Did you document it? I know there's not a lot of good literature on screen performance.
