lol, the sticker on the tv is freaking huge. Also why do you keep the plastic wrapping around tv? The sticker and the wrapping can come off you know.

He's probably going to return it after the game.
I have so many questions about projectors and not sure if this is the right place to come but ill give it a shot.
Is it worth it to buy a projector instead of a TV? I was going to buy a new LED one in about a year. But have always wanted a projector.
my main worry is about how long they last until replacing the blub... my TV is on A LOT
also i want to be able to hook up multiple hmdi's (my mbp, my xbox, my cable, and anything else that's needed maybe 1 more) will i get the same resolution through my MBP through another connection to play 1080p movies i downloaded? that's my main source.. my externals and TV.
my price for a TV was no more than $2000 and thats pushing it waaay over the limit. can someone help me?

My humble attempt to build a "home theater" got a lot more interesting since my new TV arrived this week. Just watched Tangled in 3D and I was blown away by the 3D effects (and the plasma picture quality - way better than my 2 year old Sony LCD). I saw a 3D demo in the shops and was a little disappointed - but at home under the right conditions - very nice.

Here's our 2.35:1 set-up, this gear is late 2007/early 2008 stuff, still works and paid for
(Maybe 2014 "update-itis" for 3D might hit in...)
Projector: Sony VPL-VW60
Anamorphic Lens: Panamorph UH380, mounted on DIY manual slide.
Blu-ray Disc player: PS3.
AVR: Denon AVR-4308CI
Speakers: Paradigm v5.0 Frt Monitor Series 9, Center CC-390, Rear/back surrounds ADP-390, IB subwoofer (4) x 15" AEIB line array "Usul"
Screen: DIY 130" diag 2.35:1 curved screen
Masking: DIY Manual for 16:9, HT V2 will incorporate some power masking
Seating: 8 total, we've had 16 people in here for big gatherings, love seats are nice for 3 people then...
Sketch showing room size, layout, etc.
The walls are dark green with ceiling dark brown, since we live in a loghome I tried to keep the nature theme going in the HT.
Used stained pine for baseboard and acoustic treatments.
View of 130" scope screen, manual 16:9 masks are stored below center speaker when not used as seen here:
(Panorama stitching via CS5 made the ceiling acoustic clouds looked curved, they are flat...)

If you don't mind me asking. How much did you pay for such a setup?
Very nice theatre, I'm probably located very close to you as I am in SE Michigan as well. By the looks of it, you are probably down the road...
Looks amazing! Where'd you get those movie posters?
Yes, there are tags to embed. Use the section after v= and tag it using [youtube] [/youtube ] without the space at the end of the bracket.
