I have wondered about this myself... ... I am sorting through the various issues related to building a home addition which will include a dedicated home theater - so I have NOT purchased or set up a front projector for home theater use. However, I have used a business projector on numerous...

I took a brutally simple approach... i set up a baby fence around the TV but - leaned it so it is not too high as to block the screen and yet it forces the youngest kids to stay a couple of feet away. It is not clean or pretty - but it has been effective. And just two weeks ago i took it down as...

LOL!!!~ :laugh:

Hey folks... This week on the DIY (Do It Yourself) channel they are running a How to Build it show series on building a home theater! It airs every day at 6:30PM ... and it started a few days ago! And since we have mostly missed several episodes - they were nice enough to replay ALL 5 of...

I think the weak signal may be a contributing factor, however... .... I would speculate that some would depend on whether yout HDTV is converting the signal to match the screen setting. THe Sony I saw with the pixelation noise definately had something wrong with it. It was running a HD DVD...

JonZ... Your comments are insired and insightful... I have found myself gradually expanding my horizons on various "fronts" - not by automatic acceptance of various remarks and suggestions by via "guided" investigation and careful consideration. EG, a local friend of 38 years (yeah - we go...

I am honestly curious here... You're saying you "can't stand LCD" and prefer RP from a Sony unit. Well... I generally like the LCD and Plasmas over the most RP units but own a RP unit using a 3 panel LCD projection arrangement. I went with an economical solution when I choose the Epson 3LCD...

I just hooked up a Monster Power 5100 that I got on eBay. I tried an A/B comparison with my friends' stereo (audio only). We cranked it up on idle to see if we could hear any background noise with or without it... we could not hear anything either way. THEN we tried to induce noise y pluggin in...

I didn't think a 3 chip LCD projection system had a rainbow effect issue... even if somewhat theortical. MY HDTV has a 3 LCD RP configuration and I have never noticed a rainow effect. On another note - I just hooked up a new Monster Power 5100 power conditioner. Frankly, I have not done an...

Well now... ... 72" is really quite large! And for the money it seems pretty attractive... except I saw a Sony that size which was priced at about $4000. AND - I notced this different 1080p 72" Tosh 72MX195 at $2900 http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....&AK=1#moreinfo which seems to be a...

That 70" Sony is what I've been staring at as my direct view alternative choice - if only it were an 80 or 90" screen rather then 70" ANd I would like an 80 or 90 for the sasem money or maybe just alittle bit more!

Someone correct me politely if I'm out of wack... ... but with a 720p screen with a 6-8' viewing distance you would go 36"-48" diagonal in size. And with a 1080p screen you would go with a 48"-64". As for which screen - a plasma, LCD or RP... and if a RP then a LYCOS, LCD, 3 LCD (wheel-less)...

Some of wandering thoughts... ... and why... I am looking for the biggest display with a decent quality and some consideration on cost. I just took my spouse over to the local cinephile specialty store where they had a honest to god home theater layout in a 20x15 room (approximately the size...

This article says.... http://www.instat.com/press.asp?Sku=...204MBS&ID=1728 ... that at mid 2006 we had 15 million households with an HDTV set and HD service. By the end of 2006 this was projected to rise to 20.3 million. Remarkable. Also, note that this is a GLOBAL figure. 91% of all HDTV...

Black-out cloth... ... are you referring to the frame around the screen? ANd may I say that I was curious as to the possibility of building my own screen. These things seem fairly pricey running near $3000 for a fixed 100" screen and a lot more for the motorized screens. NOW... not to say...

If you find THAT amusing - then consider if flipping the lens DID flip the image. We would have lettering jumbled and colors are askew - since the phyzics of the universe as we know it would be ... :D inside out! Pun intended.

Well... ... I decided to just get one ... HOWEVER... I am sort of compromising (in part because I'm not sold on the need to splurge for the best sparkling new model or speciment - and more so because I've a ferret for value)... so the compromise was to get a Monster Power stage 4 model 5100...

This is my 3 LCD RP HDTV... an Epson Livingstation 720P in 57" size. Some reviewers have said it has a screen door effect but otherwise seems decent. I have NOT noticed any pronounced SDE. I am quite satisfied with it - but am curious about what others think these other display types (plasma...

Well... (ahem)... ... I do appreciate all comments that are relevant (and irrelevant). This is a public forum after all and I was just wondering what people thought. Nick - I hear you and will look into a separate circuit and keep the amps off the PC - and Arthur, I appreciate your cautionary...

It's nice to see some folks taking the time to explain this. I understand this clearly as a lurker and as I read downward I was almost expecting sharper comments to appear - however, to my pleasant surprise I can see that gracious and constructive comments were posted. So - compliments to...

Thanks for your input.... ... I guess I might end up experimenting a bit - and that's where some of the fun comes in, eh? First - I'll have to get the addition started - and / or I'll have to settle on the front projector I'll end up with. Sort of a what shold come first (the chicken or egg...

The Sony XBR2 displays - if I am not mistaken are using a 3 LCD panel projection method to completely elimenate the color wheel. This was originally introduced Epson in their Livingstation HDTV... and prior to that it was introduced in their portable business projectors which for many years were...

I don't know John if you'll pick up on this - but what did you mean by "major sag under heavy draw"??? I am not sure what you meant by this?
