Nicely done. How big is the projected image?
-
Is this in the mansion u bought?Looks awesome!
-
Thanks guys yes it is in my new home.
Projected picture is 95" full 1080P with blu ray and 1080i with comcast.
Epson Home cinema projector, Dennon 2112ci receiver, all OSD in-wall speakers except the subwoofer. The rear speakers are in the ceiling just near the recessed lights in the pic above. I wired it all and put it all together and built an 8" riser for the rear row as you see in the pic. Worked out pretty good!

-
Did you set up any automation for lighting in there?
-
Very nice, looks like a bonus room or attic though?
-
no automation just blue led around riser and stainless cup holders with blue LEDs
-
Yes bonus room is 1250 sq ft
-
I really dig the LEDs in the cup holders...great idea. Itll help ensure the lushes who watch movies will put their drink in the holder and not in their lap. :lol:

Here is the link for the projector, it's an 8350: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=REG&A=details
I paid less than $1,000 for the projector from ABC Warehouse
The screen is a matte white high contrast, Da Lite, the picture is unbelievable. People that come over can't believe it's a projector.

I guess it all depends on the type of audio/video you are going to go with because there is so much out there.
You could spend $800-$20,000 on a projector and then screen you could spend $75-$5,000 for.
The chairs I ordered online for like $1,600, projector $1,000, screen $180, Dennon receiver was like $600 speakers $400, then HDMI cables and wires maybe $100.
The riser I built and cost about $75 with the rope light but I had carpet and pad left over also.
I can tell you that I learned a lot from AVS forum: http://www.avsforum.com/ even with building the riser these guys had so many "how to do's" and a spreadsheet to calculate how tall the riser should be.
Just feels good when you do something yourself and you and your family can enjoy it, I'm up there all the time watching football and hockey! :)

Another thing you could do is acoustic wall panels. Theyre expensive, but you can make your own out of 1/2" ply and 1/2" closed cell foam. The Foam Factory on Hall Rd and Groesbeck has acoustic closed cell cheap. Once you attach the foam, you can get some cheap good looking cloth from Joanne Fabrics to make them presentable ;).
-
The complete set-up is amazing. I'm sure it's got to be the best place to watch a game of anyone I know of, that's for sure.
Great job and its nice to see all the hard work pay off!

Why does the baseball pic look 16:9 but your screen photo 4:3?

I can change the screen resolution within the projector. I like watching 16:9 but needed the 4:3 screen to cover the big window which is behind the screen :)

Looks nice.
I am a college student and moving into a town house next year. Going to get a projector rather than a TV and I'm wondering, has anyone thought of buying a projector with a burnt out bulb and replacing it with an HID or a small LED-waffle? Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do.

The hardest part about using a different bulb is making sure the current and voltage, as well as the socket are compatible with the projector. Just get a factory replacement and youll be safe. Another thing, since youre moving into a townhouse, put the theater in the basement. Youll have alot of unhappy neighbors if its anywhere else. I keep my HiFi in the basement at my place, and Im sure the people a few doors down can still hear it when I get a little too happy with the volume knob.

We're not going to have a huge sound system in our living room...apparently campus doesn't want anything in the basement because it's extra space "not paid for" and there could be problems if the furnace or water heater explode.
My plans for the bulb were to run it off of a 12v computer power supply on a separate switch than the projector. Pretty ghetto but it would work.

Very very nice. How do you like the ceiling mounted surround sound speakers? Also, can the back row hear dialogue good with the center channel mounted that low? I'm just asking because I'm going to start on my home theater this spring and these were some issues that I wanted to ask someone with an actual setup like this.
