I have a ~9 ft x ~9ft wall the I want to put a golf sim screen against. The room seems large enough to accommodate a golf sim at about 20 ft deep by 25 ft wide with 9 ft ceiling. My questions are really around what size and type of screen to put in and what aspect ratio to project.
With it being a square space, I assume projecting a 4:3 ratio would be better for the golf sim so it fills up more of the screen space, but I want to use this for a movie screen as well, which I understand would be better using a16:9 ratio? Can you watch a movie and HDTV on a 4:3 ratio? My wife wants a movie space and agreed to also be used as a golf sim as long as we can use it for movies and TV as a first priority.
If we use a 16:9 ratio at ~ 100” wide, it looks like that will project an image ~56” high. I am fine using the sim with that projected area, but don’t like the idea of having blocks of white space on the screen above and below the projected image (I am thinking of having the bottom of the image 12-18” off the ground). Is there something you can adhere to the screen to “black out” the portion of screen that would not have a projected image on the top and bottom that would also withstand a golf ball strike? Seems like having a black area would look nicer than the empty white space?
Sorry for the long post and appreciate any help as I would really like to have an indoor golf sim but also need to make sure we can watch movies and TV on it.
Thanks
