The Bass speakers go below the screen or to the sides of the screen. No matter how "tight" your screen is...if you put subwoffers behind the screen it will vibrate or else the perfs are too big. This is done in ALL commerical movie theaters and is the recommendation of THX, Stewart Screen and...

A smart piece of insurance is to trace back the line to the panel to determine which breaker controls that line. Then replace the breaker with a GFCI Breaker (Ground Fault Circut Interupter). They rune i think about $50 for a 20 Amp line.

Every Feb 14th I hope that this great movie "St Valentine's Day Massecre" is finally released in Widescreen. The only media available on this film is P+S VHS. It never shows on TV in widescreen and so much is missed in the process. I thought that FOX had the rights to this film? Does...

This is an interesting film...one of my favorites. Phillip K Dick who wrote the short story was a true visionary in SciFi and his untimely death left many of us wanting more of his work. I have seen this movie...in the theater.. at least a dozen times in all sorts of presentations including in...

As a Western Lover i would recommend: The Professionals Open Range Hour of the Gun Crossfire Trail Jeremiah Johnson And for the sheer parody of them: Rustlers Rhapsody or Blazing Saddles The first 5 define the Western as a hollywood product (as do others mentioned) and the last two...

I am not familiar with the clearviw selection of screens. I don't want to sound like a salesam for Stewart but before i bought my screen i did a lot of research on movie screens in general and perforated screens in particular. I knew that Stewart did many of the commerical theaters and i...

I used to use a Stewart 144" 16x9 Silver (gain of 3.5) in my HT. I DID NOT want to see the equipment and wanted as close as i could get..the same presentation that a commerical cinema provided. I sat 14' back from the screen and NEVER noticed the perfs. You do have to go to a higher gain...

On my 144" HT I souced the image from HDTV and DVD using a scaler to 800x600 for the DVD. The projector was a Zenith PRO900. Sound was the very best in a room with no windows with black carpeting on the floor and walls. Ceiling was flat black. Seating for 6. My thoughts on HT vs. Commerical...

In the past ...before HDTV... what the manufacturers were doing was using the video amp bandwidth and converting that to lines of resolution where 1 mz equals 80 lines of res. so a bandwidth of 10mz would equate to 800 lines. Unfortunately it was a misleading number because none of the NTSC...

Well I can attest to seeing....in 1998 no ;ess....a demo of what was then called "Super HDTV." It was on display in the lobby of the Equitable Life Bldg. in NYC. The image was static...ie no movemnt in the frame. Just a shot of a glass half filled with wine sitting on a table. The...

Now that we finally have a decent amount of scanning lines and pixels to make up an image, i am curious if we will finally see some good 3D films. There are so many to choose from in all different formats, Aspect Ratios, etc. I believe there were even a few Porno Films shot in 3D. Believe...

This discussion could begin to border on edge of .."what is a purist" when it comes to these films. Your point of the "best availabe" film elements may not be what truly are "the best available film elements." It is costly to strike a new Interpositive for a 70mm film. (The Interpositive...

OK...so I read all the posts and as a lover of 70mm films, there is still a question that no one has nrought up... What film elements are being used to make the transfer? This would affect the transfer in a huge way. Now all these films are approaching 50 years old...many the original...

Keep in mind that the farther away from the screen...the lower the light value hitting the screen. You have a variable focus lens which gives you some play but you want as much light as the projector is putting out ON the screen.

Might cpnsider a 27" combo unit with the DVD player built in..neat and not that expensive

For the best results you might try "bracketing" your exposure. As stated you need the manual mode with no flash. Than start by adjusting the shutter open time higher then lower for each shot. So in a roll of 24 frames you would really be taking 8 pictures with a higher than a lower for...

I have been reading posts that deal with the question of Resolution of HDTV, 35 MM Film, etc. I thought it might be helpfull to put down some of the facts...and myths of Resolution. First off, resolution is determined by 3 factors: 1. How many lines make up the image (called Vertical Res.)...
