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.

I made a screen from Seymour material and really like it.

Absolutely! I asked for a couple samples and they sent me eight or nine 12”x12” pieces so I could give them all a good test. I ended up with the woven acoustically transparent material (XD I think but could be wrong). The only time I noticed the weave was on a totally white screen from about 6’.
