When I removed the dust filter, it was almost spotless. I even left the filter out and tried to power it on, but nothing changed. I have left it unplugged for a few days now and I am going to try it again this weekend, as suggested by someone else. Otherwise, I guess I am a bit screwed and...

I have an Epson 5020 that is just over 1 year old. It was professionally installed and has not been used very much at all. About a month ago it started having an issue and I need help to resolve it. As of now, when you turn it on it begins to warm up and about when the picture starts to load...

I recently had my media room built, which includes an Epson 5020. Now I am trying to take baby-steps to learn about all the equipment I have. I want to walk before I run, so I am just trying to start with basic functionalty settings/features. So I am looking for any tips that you guys might...

Thanks! I have been referred to the 4100 and 5100's. Which is a better choice or whats the difference? How is the experience with them compared to the Epson ones that come with it?

I am having an Epson 5020 installed today. This is my first projector, so I know nothing about calibration. I hear that it can make a major difference. Will I need a brand new projector calibrated? If so, how can it be done? I am just trying to figure out what kind of difference it makes...

I am looking for 3D glasses options for the 5020. The Epson version is model V12h548006 but they cost like $100 per pair. Does anyone know anywhere that may sell them cheaper or if there are any other options to use for the 5020?

WOW. That sucker is expensive. I cant spend $3500 on it, but I will look to see if they have a slightly cheaper model. I can spend around $2000 or so on audio if I need to. Again, I would love to save $$ anywhere I can, but I want to get it right and not have to worry about it. Do the surround...

I hear you. I mean the MartinLogan, B&W, and even Bose soundbar's are $1500-$2000, plus wireless sub. The only real audio store near me that I know about is BestBuy. I see many people say the box sets of audio are junk, so that makes me hesitatnt to look at any package deals. I am not opposed to...

Well earlier in this thread, it was suggested that 2.1 or 3.1, or just L C R are better than a soundbar. Thats kinda what I was asking about. I have looked at some higher end soundbars, but am not sure if they are a waste of money or what. If I go with separate components, I was looking for some...

So you are talking about the 65" GT? What alternatives to high-end soundbars would you guys recommend?

First, thanks for the responses so far. So for the display, does anyone have any other suggestions? I really like the 60" Pan GT, but I fear is not big enough. I would really like something bigger for the room, but I do want the right balance of size, quality, and price. For example, I recently...

So after a few setbacks, I am back for some advice. Moving to a new home but still having to rent/maintain the old one is far more expensive than I was expecting. Anyway, I have made some changes to how I want to build my media room. I want to buy equipment first instead of planning everything...

Not sure I understand your speaker comment. Are you saying that the ones you posted represent single channels out of the 5 or 7 channel system or are they more "all in one" kinds of speakers? Yes, I think mounting that shelf to the wall is much easier than the baseboard. That one is just one...

I really do not like tv stands. I do not want to have my TV setting on anything and prefer not to have any kind of console on the floor. I would much prefer the components be on the wall or in the closet. I found a decent looking wooden wall cabinet on amazon, but its like $500. I think the...

Thanks guys. Theres several reasons that I have to do the room that way, but it is what it is I guess. I just bought the house, so I have to deal with it. I am trying to get everything together, buy it, and get it put in ASAP. So far, all estimated costs for install from HT people are very high...
