Hi all,
Having a house built and we are considering a big screen projector (or similar) in the kids playroom/games room. Just something that will be good for cinema nights, or gaming etc.
Ive no experience with this sort of stuff though. Can anyone give me any pointers on any aspect of the above. Even if it’s to tell me it’s a rubbish outdated concept that would be fine.
I need to meet with the electrician on-site next week to finalise electric points so need to decide this weekend.

I'd run power and Cat5e/6 to the centre of the ceiling, or wherever you would plan to mount the projector. Ideally double up the ethernet cables. And run the other end of them to where you are likely to have your Sky/Amp/Bluray player.
You'll need to think about sound aswell so might be worth running in speaker cables around the room, or in the walls.
Plenty power sockets

Thanks this is very useful. You'll need to think about sound aswell so might be worth running in speaker cables around the room, or in the walls.

Not sure how I’ve ended up with 2 topics. Will use https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&... from here on in mods
