About SoundScreen Store
SoundScreen Store helps people planning their first projector or screen do the maths: how far the projector goes, how big the image can be, which screen gain suits the room and where the speakers sit. Plain explanations, with every figure taken from the manufacturer's published specifications.
Who it is for
People setting up their first projector, screen or surround system who want the numbers explained step by step.
What we publish
- Calculators. Throw distance, screen size and viewing distance, worked out from the lens and room figures you enter.
- Set-up guides. How to choose a screen size, a screen gain and a seating distance for the room you actually have.
- Sound set-up. Speaker distances, subwoofer placement and soundbar size, worked out for the room you actually have.
How we work
SoundScreen Store is written by a small editorial team. Articles are signed by the team rather than by individual names.
- Specifications come from each manufacturer's published information. When we summarise what other publications found, we name them and link to them.
- We only show a score when we say where it comes from and how it was calculated. We do not publish customer ratings we cannot verify.
- When an article is based on our own use of a product, it says so and explains what we did with it. When it is not, it says that too.
- We use software tools to collect and cross-check published sources.
Money
We do not sell products and we do not handle orders. This site shows ads served by Google. Some manufacturers pay us to create content about their brands; when an article covers one of those brands, a disclosure at the top says so. Payments do not decide the specifications we publish or the scores we give.
