This is another problem in my living room. It has quite a few big windows. I can close the blind in the morning, but would prefer not to because the family likes the sun.

So I'm faced with two of projector's worst enemy: bulb life (I don't think a CRT projector would work well because it it humongous and it's not cheap) and ambient light.
It is enclosed on 3 sides. It used to be open on four! Personally I like to watch TV with some light but of course the picture is more spectacular with no lights.

I am contemplating whether to put some shutters / wooden venetian blinds / curtains on the remaining side but I normally don't watch TV in the day so it might be no problem.

I am wary of screens with too much gain since the viewing angle is affected somewhat I think.
