So in order to use the RS232 does that mean that I have to use something like Crestron, AMX, etc. that has a networked "brain" or would something like Home Theater Master MX-3000 work?

Hello all, First, would like to say how much I enjoy this website and all the useful info found here. What I would like to know is the details on how RS-232 works with regards to A/V and how it can enhance my HT experience. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Adam. So where can I find GoM fabrics? Is this something that typically must be specially ordered or might I be able to find it at a local specialty fabric store or through one of my local A/V specialists?

Adam- Your Quote: I am trying to come up with a budget for the GoM fabric and the batting. Pardon my ignorance but what does GoM stand for? Thank you, Allan

Mike B/ Actually I did finally pull the trigger. I ended up going with the Infocus X1. I found an incredible deal on it...Open box at a local chain store...plus I got a 72" 16:9 pulldown with it. For under a well under a G I couldnt pass it up. I had to sacrifice screen size just a bit...I...

Curt, I am in the same boat as you. My room is 11'2" x 13'6"(including the closet) I have an Infocus 4800(aka X1 with a different remote) which is mounted in the closet and throws onto an 84" diagonal 16:9 DIY screen made of silver satin using the matte side. The image looks great and I have...

I'm working on building my DIY screen and just thought I would share what I have found. I sampled several fabrics, everything from white blackout fabric to grey nylon sheets. What I actually found to be the best (and will be using for my screen) is silver satin fabric which I found at a local...

hey gang... Here's something for you to think about. I just found this tonight at Hancock Fabrics...Its a Silver Satin fabric(Im using the dull side) and so far it looks GREAT!!! It really has a color similar to the SilverStar. Plus, its pretty inexpensive...only $4 a yard.

Check out projectorcentral.com...they just posted the review today and they recommend no more than a 100" screen for best results.

Looking to pick up a projector in the 1500-2000 range. I've trialed the X1 and dont really care for it...Im now leaning toward the Panny 300 but would like to hear some input on the new Sanyo Z2 from some of those that have purchased/trialed it. Is the new Z2 really as hyped up as they made it...

Thanks for your help Mike....

Thanks for your input. MikeP Do you think that you would be able to post or PM some of your screen shots for me? I would be very interested in seeing them. Also, how are your black levels...especially like on SW, Matrix, LOTR, etc. Also, what are the main differences between LCD and DLP...

Check Visualapex.com....they are currently running a special until January. Im thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these myself.

Looking into finally pulling the trigger on a FP but am having trouble finding anyone in my area that doesnt want an arm and a leg for their FPs. Im interested in the Panny 300, the Studio Experience 1HD/Sanyo Z1, possibly the Sanyo Z2, and the Sharp 200. Ive looked online and found a few good...

Dean Is that a seperate lens that can be purchased as an add on for the X1. I have been basing my throw distance on the X1 according to projectorcentral's throw calc. and was under the impression that I would only be able to get ~68" or so. This was based on the 11'4" width of the...

matthew I had considered a CRT but this room is just too small...it is actually a spare BR and is 11'4" x 12'. I think a CRT would overpower the room, not to mention that that Im sure the ceiling is currently not designed to handle that kind of weight. Christian I have heard a few...

Mark, I guess I should specify a little better...I actually saw the SE 1HD at a showroom. It was in the dedicated HT about 9-10' back on a 92" firehawk. The owner brought the image down to an 80" size after I told him that was the size I was searching for. I must admit the SDE wasnt horrible...

Hello to all... First I would like to say that I am new to HTF though I have been reading posts for some time. I am looking into purchasing an FP and have about $1500-2000 that I can spend and still stay married. I know all the players in this area...the X1, the Z1, the panny 300, and the...
