Getting rid of visual distractions in the front will make the images on your screen ‘float’ in front of your eyes.

Just beautiful.

Going flat black will definitely increase your contrast ratio to get the most out of whatever projector you choose.

Moving the seating to the middle of the room will put you in a bass null but your tech can figure out how to deal with that. I’d be ready to be flexible with sub placement.

I think Atmos is a game changer but I’m not yet ready to make the jump either.

Thanks for posting all the pics - really makes things clear.

Good luck!

Hi Tom,

The reason I am making these changes really is the next Big-Move to a 4K JVC RS4500 Laser Projector.
That will more than likely be next year I'm a poor fellow .
So, what I'm doing way ahead of time is getting the HT ready for a complete change with a new 4K projector and all supporting components.
At that time I will also go with (Atmos) for sure.
I'll go with 4-overhead speakers.

Meanwhile like I said above I can go ahead and get things ready for the Big-Changes once I save the CASH.

JVC RS4500
