I just posted about that, I think I will go with 16:9 and then mask it off for 2.35:1. best of both worlds, and no regrets. I want/need 2 rows. going to use the existing couch for the first row, then build up just like you have for the second row. eventually I may or may not replace the first with cinema style seating. my couch is veeerrryy comfortable! after checking out the benq I realized it didn't even have hdmi. think I will opt for a different one. I like the zoom feature you were talking about. right now, I am focusing on prepping the room. also the massive bbq I am having sunday evening.

I think I will do as large of a 16:9 that I can, and then I can still use it as a 2.35! maybe I will make some quickly removable black boards.

11 dollars a piece! Crap that's a good deal! Lol, I know all about the hk mic and what not. I was wanting to know more about sketchup. I'll have to check it out when I am back on a computer. What size screen would you go with if you had my room? The wall area I will build will be 12×8 so I don't have the luxury of a 10 foot ceiling. If I remember right I believe I have exactly 141 inches from side to side. I want as large of a viewing area that I can get. Gonna put my amps/subs/receiver/ and all below the screen, and la scalas behind of course. So I don't really need much room to the sides. Think I found a single la scala for 250! Or 2 for 600 closer as well.

Also, @youthman, what software did you use to help set up the room? The pictures look like awesome help to keep from getting that 'crap that's not gonna fit' bump your head on the wall moment.

Yeah, Lebanon isn't too far to travel. I'll see if he posts in here! Only 12 days left eh coytee!! Are you excited yet?

id really like to check out a few home theaters and get some ideas. and heck, lets get a beer!

itCan be all Yours for only 75 payments of 19.95 plus S/H lol i can do this payment plan!!

after i get back from hamptons in the morning, i think i will lay out how much i have to sand off, then hopefully friday morning ill slap the rest of it together! they have got to be out of the garage by sunday.

yeah, i will focus on the windows, paint, and acoustic panels first. i ordered 6 703 panels along with canvas that my friend uses to paint on last night. i am gonna dye the canvas black, then have him paint some of them up for me. while i am waiting on that, i will start painting this monday. gotta find a color i like, and move all my existing equipment away from the walls. i was looking at some of the recessed lighting, and dimmers to go with the harmony one remote i ordered last night as well. i cant quite pull the trigger on lighting yet. where did yall get the 703 board from? 6 ended up costing me 105 dollars.

they have what is called acoustic transparent screens. it is bascially perforated to let sound through.

how would they sound with music? this will be my new livingroom, so music, gaming, and movies will all be played here.

to be honest, the guy at lowes did a great job cutting it up for me. friendly guy, and did a good job. i will only have to sand one or two surfaces to get the top to fit on right.

hahah! that is funny! actually work load increased at the jobsite, had a few storms come through that blew down 8 trees at my parents house in the past couple of weeks. so i have been hitting up the chainsaw quite a lot. so i had an idea, make a template out of plexiglass and use a flush cut router bit to cut my holes. id get the plexiglass at work, and naturally id cnc myself a perfect 16.75 inch hole in it! well that worked out perfect, aside from the router i borrowed was complete junk! the base kept lowering itself, getting the bearing off of the plexiglass can causing me to cut slightly into it. i managed, and if anyone else needs a perfect circle i will send the template to you if you wish. after of course i build 2 more 18s! here is the template, the router cut that drifted down is minimal as i caught it as it happened. it slightly messed up, but you cant really tell! woohoo! here is the bit if you havent seen a flush cut router bit. and finally my double pane front side. they are glued in now, but i havent taken a pic of them yet. after i cut the inital hole with the template, i used the mdf as my next templates. that way the holes matched perfectly! i am hoping to finish these up friday, as i need space in the garage for a party i am throwing. everyone is invited if you are close!! i am seriously considering having these rhino lined, or linex'ed so i dont have to deal with the mess, and will have a uniformed finish.

BenQ W1080ST DLP Projector whats yalls take on this? seems like its too good to be true? i can find them all day long for 700-800 are there any with led lighting? what are some reliable ones?

Looks like a lot of good info. Gonna take a nap and check it out tonight when I wake up again. 3rd shift life! Thanks for the quick responses! You don't have any problems with the gas hinges bending the screen? How much does it weigh?

@[member=Youthman] @[member=Scrappydue] @ any input?

i cant sit far enough away from it then. false wall will take up at least 2.5 feet of room. then i can only sit 8 to 10 feet away from a 10 foot screen. i think that would be uncomfortable.

http://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-125-Inch-Projector/dp/B000Q87LM6/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409034382&sr=1-6&keywords=16%3A9+motorized+screen what do you all think about this? what is a good guideline with brightness, vs screen amp? what color should i paint the room? i dont want it to look gaudy so id like more of a neutral color that works well with keeping the brightness down.

the only room i can use for this measures 12 by 20 feet, it has a closet in the back corner. i want to tint the windows to remove some of the sunlight, then i will cover with blackout curtains. (most likely tack them to the wall under the existing curtains) id like to put the screen on the wall with the single window. (i will probably double tint this glass and make sure no light gets through maybe even add some insulation to keep the heat down as well) i really like youthmans seating arrangment so i figured i would copy it for the most part. i want to maximize the screen size so i was thinking about 120 inches? i like the idea of a roll up screen and was wondering what was wrong with them as no one seems to use them from what i have seen. what software have you all been using to make plans from?? excuse the mess, i am currently rebuilding my soon to be bedroom setup as we speak.

so i know this is better off suited in the avsforum, while there are more opinions and what not there. i wanted to start here as this is a much smaller forum and i can take the opinions and recomendations slower and research them individually without feeling overwhelmed with responses. i am very new to the home theater area and what not. i know i want an AT screen. thinking about using my dual lascalas for left and right, and adding a third for the center as they are still sitting in the garage just chilling. i would like to be 4k ready, but that seems very expensive compared to my 4k tv. i got my samsung 65 4k 9000 series 4k tv for just a little over 2000 bucks, and i was thinking a projector would be cheaper, but boy was i wrong!! i want to build a false wall, make the screen as large as i can, trio lascalas, most likely 2 or 4 18 si d4s, and i am thinking about using 3 inuke 6000dsp amps for all this. i would like to stick with another harman avr3700, ps3, htpc, rs62ii X4, i have a friend who paints, so i will most likely get him to make me some sort of acoustic panels that double as artwork. pictures will be posted of the room.

i just watched your youtube video. thinking about converting my extra bedroom now! thanks a lot! i will be broke forever, but, i already have a couple lascalas to start with.

Finally!! Sorry for the delay, broken bit, wrong sizes, and procrastination gets the best of me!

I remembered, but don't have the right size torx!

crap! i forgot again!! someone should remind me in the am.

dang. he pisses me off as well! i say we all spam him! lets see how he likes that mess?
