In the first place, I'm not the slightest bit unhappy with my current arrangement. Everything about my 'new' (over a year old already) room was designed to be as it is. The screen drops in front of the rack I built and well below the top shelf.
(old photo - hadn't even installed the baseboard yet)
The screen is at the ideal throw distance from my projector, based upon the screen's size. Besides, I spent $4K on that screen! The screen is as important as the projector. My projector can't be moved. I nailed up boards to which to mount the screen and projector - at very specific locations. I also located an outlet and ran the PVC for my projector's cabling (well over a grand in the pair of HDMI cables). None of that can be changed.
(best shot I could find, but you get the idea)
(actually, the early photo tells the tale better)
All told, I invested nearly $150K in this project. It was the realization of a very old desire and I mapped out every detail before we started. It is staying the way it is. It doesn't bother me - I'm absolutely satisfied.
