Fucked up panorama from awhile ago.. since put a flush housing over the hole where the projector comes through the wall and blacked out window.

Diode 08-22-2013 10:33 AM

but word i need to get these walls done, throwing too much light, need to paint the rollup frame of the screen too since it bounces off.. or suck it up and get a permanent mount high gain jobber.

all the seats and the chaise are power recline, the armrest tops flip up with reading lights, and the two recliners on the left have massages built in hahahaha i spent way too much $$ on that :(

all equipment is hidden in the corner of that wall where the sectional curves. projector in a big closet behind the wall.

Mike Wrecka 08-22-2013 10:54 AM

@Diode , how is the picture on the projection screen? does it look hi def or does it get a little bit blurry?

that cheech and chong picture looks crisp as hell actually. ive considered projection but I was always under the impression that an LED or LCD gives a better picture. but that was a few years ago, I bet projectors are close now i

Diode 08-22-2013 11:06 AM

projectors actually used 3LED or DLP now. the latter has better blacks but the color wheel causes a rainbow effect for some people, so i went with LED.

God Of War 08-22-2013 11:07 AM

thtas a ncie ass room bro, Did the couch thing come like that? I mean with the attachments and etc for you to put the consoles on it?

haha no i am just a real nerd about hiding wires. since all of my equipment is hidden in the corner there, i ran the wires through the back of the arm rest and just stacked the consoles appropriately. was supposed to be a temporary solution but i am lazy and won't get to a proper cabinet for years i'm sure.

makes it easy to just pull the ps3 and bring it down to the living room where i have hookups there too.

makes it look dope tho a couch with a mid part for consoles lol

Diode 08-22-2013 11:15 AM

haha yeah

everything controlled with a harmony remote. have an IR repeater on all my equip and a target on the wall just above where the consoles are.

internet is provided by that box with the blue and green lights - it's power over ethernet + wifi repeater. so i have one in my office downstairs that connects to the router, then sends the signal to the box upstairs in the man cave over the power lines. no wires for my consoles and wifi upstairs without a bridge!

God Of War 08-22-2013 11:16 AM

what size is the screen?

Diode 08-22-2013 11:17 AM

i have enough throw from behind the wall to hit 130".. i have a pic from before i installed the screen lemee grab it 1s.

click for full size.. that's at about 120".

it can do 130" and take up the whole wall but that's pretty terrible for watching since you never want to be looking down.

PancakeBrah 08-22-2013 11:21 AM

The ones in the op are much better diode

Can we get more cool looking ones now?

i never said mine compared to those. pretty sure my original post was about how i'd like to get there but my current room is too small.

APOLOGIES FOR ENGAGING PEOPLE ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY SETUP, CAKE

PancakeBrah 08-22-2013 11:25 AM

Apology accepted.

I just liked this topic and with all the replies I thought there be more room porn but it was just like 20 pictures of your TV and couch.

actually got a good deal on a bundle for the projector and screen.. came to around $1800 if i remember right. best buy does 0% for 3 years on this stuff so it was a no brainer.

the sectional was like $2500. RTG also does 0% on a 5 year so another no brainer.

i fucking love 0% financing deals. basically free loans while the cash i would have spent stays in the bank accruing interest for all that time.

well there's a big difference between a PJ and TV. a lot easier to fix/replace on the former plus the warranties are usually better. but yeah, if you're considering scale.. a 90" television at $3500 or a "whatever size you want" brand new modern PJ for ~$2000.. if you have the room and time to plan, no brainer.

you can obviously get them cheaper (sign up to avsforum if you haven't), but i like the 0%.

Diode 08-22-2013 11:49 AM
