Screen size and sound - My screen isn't enormous, but it's not too different from being in the back row of a theater.
The best thing about it being my own setup is that I know it's calibrated properly: I have been to many more than my share of movies filled with overly boomy, unbalanced sound and poorly focused projectors. At home I know it's right, and I don't know about you, but my modest 100W subwoofer is more than up to the challenge of shaking my theater room--and the effect is much better when the whole system is in balance.
