This is the old set-up, note that my main viewing panel is my 37" toshiba regza lcd, its a native 720p panel that accepts 1080p signals.
This is the old back part of the room, that is my youngest son lounging away on a custom made hardwood daybed with uniform upholstery even with the La-Z-Boy recliner.
Here are three pictures of the new front part of the room. First one with the lcd panel wall-mounted. The second picture shows when the projector screen is fully deployed, hiding the lcd panel behind it, ready for projector action. Its a 92" (diagonal) 16:9 wide screen projector screen, its glass beaded and has a gain of 2.0; meaning it will make a projected image brighter! The last pictures shows what the set-up looks like when the screen is fully retracted. I have no choice but to have the wires exposed as this is a motorized screen, hopefully I can find a cable manager to hide it and paint the cable manager with the same paint as the wall.
The next two pictures are the new back part of the room. Nothing has change except for the projector mounting that has been added. As you can see on the second picture the mounting I have chosen is actually a wall mount but when mounted looks like a ceiling mount! The main difference is I don't have to mount the thing on the ceiling which is more cumbersome and flimsy. I like the result, since this mount was custom made.
The last set of pictures are some screen shots of the projector in action. And all I can say is . . . . WOW! Its really different, watching anything smaller just won't be the same again. First picture is an angle shot of the whole system in play, second shot is the same screen shot taken in front, its Norah Jones! Last three pictures are screen shots of I.Robot, Star Wars - Clone Wars and Transformers the movie.
That's all for now, and I can say my HT journey is more or less done. Any upgrades or changes will now be minor, its now time to enjoy the room!
BTW! Last day of the year! Happy New Year to all! Have a great 2009!
