I guess I should post my equipment also Panasonic PT-100XU 720p projector (killer) Carada screen - probably 110" Onkyo 605 Toshiba HD-A2 DirecTV HR-20 HD TIvo Fronts: Infinity Beta C250s Side: JBL Balcony Rear: old JBL bookshelfs Sub: Velodyne SPL-12 Power Supply: Tripp Lite LCD 1000

Cabinets were installed and I went ahead and hooked everything up (even though it still needs to be painted and I haven't ordered the fixed Carada screen). I'm pretty blown away by how awesome it looks and sound. I'll post some pics once it's all done. BTW - thanks for making me do the...

I actually went with an even darker gray color. Gonna look great.

I am also getting a Carada, but I wouldn't call them cheap. For cheap, try using the white melamine (?) board you can get at Home Depot. Some people just project on that, or that put a coat or two of paint on. Others just do white or silver paint on their wall. Just make sure it isn't...

Projector looks awesome, even just against the beige wall. Waiting on a Carada screen. I have it mounted on top of some cabinets and am experiencing some keystone though. What's strange is using the keystone settings seems to change the keystone of the source (like the outside edges of the...

I'm going w/ a slate gray on the walls and doors, with black on the baseboards/trim and cabinentry/shelving. What should I do for the ceiling (it's vaulted, with some strange angles)? Same slate gray? Shades darker? Shades lighter? Black?

re-wiring is finally done. it actually worked out really well.

Mine came yesterday. Looks fantastic! And the lens shift is great. It does have a bit of keystone on the upper right vertical though. I'm hoping I can get it to disappear into the black sides of a screen.

Bumping an old thread but need some help. After hours of attic time today I have finalized that there is absolutely NO way to get to that R-Side speaker drop (picture 2 above). Best I can do is get to the top of the angled ceiling. So I would have to do a speaker wire run through the...

Do you have the PT-AX100U? Mine is being shipped, so I guess I'll test it out. If I can do it sitting up I'll just do that. MUCH easier than the little box I was constructing.

To mount it right side up (sitting on a shelf) you have to be at a vertical level even w/ the center of the screen (or a little below actually). That won't work in my room (and probably in most, as you don't want someone to be able to walk in front of the image). I think I have a good...

I was in this same boat in February. I went with the Sony 46 E2000. I think the 50 or even the 56 is down in the $1k range now. I also considered the 42" Panny plasma and the Samsung DLPs.

How are people mounting this projector? I need to do an upside down in the rear and don't see the bottom/screw layout in the user's guide. But I'd rather fashion my own then use their mounting platform. In fact, I think I want to do some sort of strap so I can easily take it down for...

ha! I always switch the green and blue in dim lighting. strange, but they look like each other (green looks like blue, etc).

Depends on price you have in mind.
