In Reply to: If you're sitting 20' feet back, buy the largest screen you can afford (nt) posted by Audio Snob on August 20, 2010 at 06:00:32:
Hang it from rails on the ceiling, with a garage door motor to bring it closer to the seating area for serious viewing. Otherwise, at 20 feet you might as well be watching standard definition. According to the chart below, you'd need more like 65 to 70" to appreciate 720p at 20 feet; for 1080p, 100".
