I am looking to put a projector and screen in my games room and am a bit confused what to look for if anyone can advise.

Room is a 7m x 7m basement so no issues with excess light, it's as dark as i want it to be.

This would be for occasional use, maybe if the guys are round to stick the sports on in the background, to watch the occasional fight/game or have a game of the PS4 on so it doesn't need to be perfect picture quality, as long as it's decent.

Screen size will be approx 120", devices i'd have attached are apple TV/PS4 and i'd like to run it off the current Kenwood Series 21 AV stuff that is in there (so RCA output/cabling i presume)

I'd like an electric screen but not too bothered if it's manual to be honest. For talking sake i'll start with a budget of £5-600, if that is unrealistic it can be increased.

Thanks for the advice all, i'm going to go down to richer sounds at the weekend and see if they will do me a deal as i need to get a few things (projector, screen and another AV receiver) and hopefully they will have one working i can see.

I'm glad they have moved on from the blurry mess you used to see in pubs for the football! smile

I will put up a build thread of the room, there's not much to photo at the moment as it's stripped bare but the basic plan is pool table, bar, lounging area with the projector/PS4/etc
