How quickly do you want this purchase out of the way, btw?

I take possession of the new house on the 22nd of this month. I would like to make it quick(ish) but I am not in a huge rush as I have a 44" TV to use during the waiting period.

It is a bonus room on the upper level of the house. It is 13' wide by 17' deep. It has windows on the N side of the room but the blinds can remove most of the light. The room is totally finished but it is already wired for sound (rears).

I have thought about it but there is a ceiling fan in the middle of the room, I am not sure if a projector would work.

Buying something to complete the display that doesn't break the bank, if I can't afford something right away I will wait for a bit.

Right in the middle, a little close to image quality.
