I have a limited height ceiling (87" to joists) I have a bit of a budget ($1500?) to cover the ceilings and walls. My main priority is limiting reflection, I am not too worried about sound except to the degree it bounces around right in the theater. Can I just paint the ceiling (or...

I have a home theater I have cobbled together over the years. Now I have bought a good projector and want to make sure my audio is at least in the realm of good. I am just not sure that my stuff actually works well for Blueray and 5.1. The speakers are Paradigms. I haver RTI8's for...

I have determined that I am going to get a screen of approximately 133 inches in a Matte White Finish with a 1.0 gain for my Epson 8700UB. Now the question is are all screens created equal or more or less equal? Da-lite seems to be a mid-range player and their screen is just under $2000...

I am not sure about the avi/divx being in HD. They are always about 720mg. I am also wondering about the audio. Can I really be getting decent audio through an earphone jack?

it is a drop ceiling and I will paint in a flat dark color same with the walls

Hi All, I have a home theater system. I want to play .AVI movies through it. Up until now I have connected my macbook pro to: 1) the projector through it's Dual-Link DVI port 2) the receiver through an audio cord that has an earphone sized jack on one end (into earphone jack on...

Thanks Jim. I watch with the lights off although there may be a small table lamp on (16' from screen) when watching hockey.

I have two opposing (it seems) needs for my projector and screen. I love movies and want the best contrast possible yet I am also a hockey fan who wants to watch games (dominated by white background of ice) on the same screen. I talked to a Da-Lite support guy at their head office and we...

I think using something like this is an inexpensive way to test the concept. Great idea.

I think the one window is a great way to ease into it. Thanks. I am thinking of $15-25k per 'picture window' but have no basis whatsoever for picking it.

I appreciate all the input. The thing is that I know exactly what I want - a little out there or not. It's just how to do it. I am seeing now (thanks) a lot of fundamental things I overlooked. But there 'might' be work arounds? I have to believe this is the place to find them.

Hi Jim, It may seem like a joke. Maybe it is. But not intentional. The idea of walking into my home and one day looking out my 'windows' onto the Mediterranean and the next a rainforest and the next downtown Rome is very appealing to me. Right now my view is of my neighbors stink stack. I...

Jeez, that's a good point too. Thx I'm looking for very lcds but that path seems way too expensive. Maybe I could put 4 smaller lcds together (can have monitors on mac for example) and make them "one window" with four panes. I am really, really open to any ideas.

Thanks Nice use of the word "Eschewing". I am thinking of multiple large windows like a Penthouse apartment. The shadow issue is a very good one. Thanks. I want to do it because I live in a frozen wasteland and would love to have realistic different views every day like the Nile out my...

Hey all, Here's the idea. Buy a house/building and instead of adding windows add projectors and screens to replace windows - creating a view of live video of whatever I want (i.e loop of Niagara Falls). There will be ambient light (i.e there will be some regular windows and household...
