You can buy projector and have 120 inches screen in 160 inches wide room. And it is also unbreakable screen, useful especially if you have kids.

How far away from the screen do you need to sit though? Isn’t that too wide? I have kids but I’ve never seen them almost break a TV lol

"Too wide" is in the eye of the beholder. I typically sit eight feet from a 130" ultra-wide projection screen. That felt enormous the first time I used it, but after a decade it seems "normal" and I occasionally think about going bigger.

It’s nice but OLED contrast is very hard to beat, and if you’re one of those folks who insist that ‘a white wall is good enough’ then it’s not even the same ballpark of image quality.

Are cinema screens bad in contrast? Do you need a pixel peeping while watch conpressed streaming show?
