Default Projection Screens 101?

If one is stuck with a bright light situation like a family room, I would suggest an OLED big screen TV instead of any projector.

A big OLED TV is likely to be no more than 85" diagonal which is not very big compared to what one can get with a projection screen.

I am surprised that you are using White Walls and white ceiling. The reflected light from the screen onto the White walls and ceiling can affect the quality of the picture on the screen.
