holtrp Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 We were seriously considering doing a full remodel in the basement for a dedicated theater room, but decided it would be better to just not bother with it. I was told "You'll never be done upgrading and moving stuff around... why would you want to do something as permenent as a full remodel?". Wife FTW... So I got a 135" Silver Ticket Audio Transparent fixed screen for my birthday. With it, I completely rearranged my room. First off, this screen is awesome. Going from 106" to 135" is massive. I was worried it might be too much in my room but so far it has been great. Much more immersive than it was before. The only thing I notice is the picture is not quite a sharp. Surely I have given up a tad in PQ with my little Espon projector and I am sure I have lost a little screen gain too, but it is certainly still worth it. Another huge win has been moving the subs to 1/3 mid front and rear wall. This has really evened out the room even though I haven't been able to EQ everything yet, it is a very obvious difference. I will try to throw up some pictures later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Good to see you holtrp, it has been a while. Man, that is one huge screen. It will make movie nights a bit special. Post some pic's when you get time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtrp Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Hey Derrick. Blacking out all the windows down there has been a chore. Eventually I think I need some velvet or other flat black for the ceiling / walls / floor. Getting that absolute black I think would really top it off. Thinking about upgrading to 4 Ultimax Full Marty subs next though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 War Of The Worlds is a get fick for the big screen. I have a white tile ceiling. I just left and it does not bother any of the family watching movies. So, the white ceiling stays, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtrp Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 The screen comes with a full size piece of black fabric to put behind the screen. I coupled it with an old, heavy duvet cover to black out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtrp Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Rather than mount it to the wall, I hung it from the ceiling using simple hooks and garden chain. I was a little concerned it might lean forward too much like this but honestly, it is probably less than 3 degrees off vertical and isn't an issue. The tension system on this screen works great. There were a few wrinkles right after I put it together but they were gone the next day. The whole thing took maybe 3 hours total to put together.
