Nice setup Hardcoreruss
Life is like a pothole, you just have to learn to get around it. -
@ Hardcoreruss
Sweet!!!!!!!!!
Is that screen mounted to your wall or ceiling ?
That's what i need to be able to mount to my ceiling to pull down in front of my Entertainment Center/TV for watching movies. There are tons of projection dealers around but they dont really have the screens on display to actually look at.
And im not too lazy, i can save some cash and get up to pull it down -
I know nothing about photography and would not know a good photo if it introduced itself.
The cameria is a Pentax Option 550. -

I have posted it before but here is the other half of the room.
The projector sits on a rather crappy DIY shelf as I could not find a ceiling mount with a long enough arm. -
TV not being what it is for entertainment as it used to be. I don`t watch so much TV, given up with the endless boring adverts between programs. Program planners have come to a halt in bringing something new, likewise films are going the same way, FX and more FX are losing their interest. People need to get out more, it`s cheaper going for a walk and you get fresh air and meet real people.........Monster TV screens speak volumes of peoples nature, my 21 inch TV has all I need when and if I need to watch it. ............TV does not rule my life...........
Most USA tv is unwatchable for advert interruptions and the UK is nowhere near as bad, but is going the same way......... constant interruptions lose peoples interest in anything.
TV is the worst offender, a brilliant invention ruined by naff advert overkill.......... Cinema films will have advert breaks soon its just a matter of time! -
I've got a 27" flat screen for the living room and a 20" LCD in the office that doubles as a compiter monitor.

For home theater, one site I like is http://www.projectorcentral.com/.
For a projection screen, if you can afford it, a electric one is best. If you get a manual screen, get one with a regulated windup. It keeps from damaging the screen if you let go of the cord. I have a Da-Lite brand, grey HDTV type. I have a 5X8 ft. screen at 17 foot viewing distance. The only downside is you need a dark room to view it properly. I've had my setup for over 2 years and I don't regret the purchase for a minute. I much prefer it to rear projection. I use a Sony VPL-HS2, still on the original projection bulb. -
I met someone the other day, who had over 100 movie dvd`s. It struck me how often you could watch 100 movies and how many times would you want to watch each one. When you know what is coming next at any part of the movie. So there they were 100 dvd`s on his shelf collecting dust. Who would really want to watch the same movies over and over again?
Now music cd`s collections are more sensible, listen while you work, while driving and music at a party etc, without staring at that screen for hours on end...........and pay stupid amounts of money on setups just to watch them over and over?
After hearing arnie say " I`ll be back" 50 times, you`ll hope he dosn`t come back...........
The local cinema is the best option for me to watch a good film when one comes along...........far cheaper than a dvd and less clutter and expense in the house ..... -

MeDiCo_BrUjO........I have seen many movies over many years, on TV and at the cinema. Good films with a good story have been in short supply. Film FX have taken centre stage in quite a few films the last 10 years, but have many weak story lines, some boarding on rubbish.
Regarding people with massive DVD collections how many times do you or others actually watch every movie per year. Just say someone has got a 300 DVD movie collection is pointless if you don`t watch them all at least twice a year ..... and that would mean watching around 12 movies every week. Then repeat the same proccess the next year with more to watch if more are added to the collection..... where does one get the time to watch that amount ?
If you don`t watch them, then you are no better off than anybody with none. You might as well have empty DVD cases on the shelf........
A dvd collection not watched in full on a regular basis is pointless having at all, apart from bragging that I have a 100 plus DVD collection.
Most people would be fed up watching the same 100 plus movies over and over again. And to sit and watch 300 to 500 DVDs every year.... sad comes to most peoples mind?
Still it takes all kinds of people to make up the world ..... enjoy your collection. -

If someone collects DVDs solely for showing off to friends or neighbors then that individual is indeed truly sad as you say. Even sadder is thinly veiled jealousy. But nothing beats the convenience of pulling a film off a shelf and watching it at any time day or night. especially if you have a busy schedule, and can't make it to the last theatre showing of the night. -

Sad for me is somebody passing judgment on other people's likes. Specially in a forum dedicated to VIDEO lovers.

i suppose vintage car, art, antiques, guns, collectors... sportsfans... are all sad too...
people who go clubin all day/drink eats well are too????
i bet you don't, these are assumed the norm....
looks like this guy is the sad, insecure type.... needing to put some one down so they could feel important.... cause this is way off the original topic
some one ban this tart!!
don't anyone waste time tryin to justify wot u like 8) [/quote]COOKIEEE!!! -
When the price comes down a bit more I'm probably going to get one of these. Until then, I'm still using a 15 year old 21" RCA.

nothing special. 27 inch LCD TV, Philips DVP-642 DVD player, JBL speakers for sound. it suits my needs, as a college student living at home for now.

Man, you guys really don't watch TV or live in a awfully small apartment!
Only 27% watch anything larger than a 42" set??.............Why are ones and zeros so complicated? Linear Video Editing was easier. Downloading & streaming are two different things. -
100" screen in the living room with Sanyo projector. 56" JVC D-ILA in the family room but at the moment no surround sound since there are placement issues for speakers etc. Yet since we got it, we do most of our viewing there and the setup is not used much (apart from when I want to play DVD-Audio)
-
Sony KDFE50A10 50" LCD Rear Projection Television
5.1 Sound -
92 inch screen with an Infocus Screenplay 4805 projector for watching movies and 27" Sanyo or 32" RCA for watching TV.
Man, it's so nice to watch movies on this size of screen. You really get into the movie, even when you've seen the movie before.
Ciao
