The interior is 3.6m x 2.6m, which gives us 3.6m between shelves (not yet installed) above a couch at one end and window blinds (not yet installed) at the other. So I am thinking a projector on the shelf, facing the blinds to be be used as the screen.
Is there a reasonable projector at around the €250 to €300 range? Is this reasonable https://www.did.ie/philips-neopix-ultra-2-hd-home-projector-silver-npx642-int-npx642-int-prd
Would the distances work?
Can the back of an ikea black-out-blind work as a screen? Or should I just buy a screen, to be pulled down over the blinds?
I presume I will need to buy a decent soundbar too.
Other option would be to mount a tv, but space is limited on the walls, and it would be blocking windows etc.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, thanks.
