    480i / 480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p Differences on 4:3 Projector

    Thanks for the information on the Anomorphic Lens. While your Infocus X1 may look decent with HD content, "Counting Pixels" does actually help out. The 1024x768 Native InFocus X3 will show HD content clearer then your 800x600 Native InFocus X1. And stepping up to a 1280x768 Native projector...

    480i / 480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p Differences on 4:3 Projector

    Woah, HD signals on an Infocus X1 must fall back to 480p! That is even crazier! Your HD channels must look almost the same as your SD digital cable and DVD's. I'm probalby going to just stick with what I have for now and then grab a 1280x720 native projector later on.

    480i / 480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p Differences on 4:3 Projector

    That sounds like an awful idea to me :frowning: I can't even figure out what that would accomplish. Actually, I took a few more video sources from other parts of the house and tried different things out using my PC, laptop, 2 different HD receivers, etc. and noticed there was a vast...

    480i / 480p / 576p / 720p / 1080i / 1080p Differences on 4:3 Projector

    I just purchased a 4:3 XGA 720p projector and RF electric 120" screen figuring I could just shrink the screen back to 16:9 by using the remote when I needed to. After a little research, thinking and testing, I have noticed that the HD signals look better then DVD and Digital cable - but not as...

    Are in-ceiling’s a weak link?

    Check out this: http://www.dolbylabs.com/consumer/ho...oomlayout.html Of course, it's not always possible to place your speakers exactly as shown. The diagrams give a range of placement angles, so you have some flexibility. Sometimes you'll have no choice but to mount the surrounds behind...

    Are in-ceiling’s a weak link?

    In-Ceiling fronts can be detected A LOT easier then In-Ceiling rear surrounds. I'm going to have to vote NO if you can do it another way. ADDED: Heck, I'm going to rate which speakers should not be in ceiling from WORST to BEST: 1) CENTER CHANNEL (Worst - Don't even try it!) 2) FRONT...

    How to choose HT screen

    I'll let you know how my 120" $200 Ebay screen works out :) At the office, we have a 120" Elite Screen that is more like $350, and looks pretty decent for the price with our Sharp XR-10X. It actually looks just as good as the owners $5,000 screen in his home theater (although his is 4 years...

    remodel dillema, large center channel with a flat panel

    I have a center channel mounted 8' high and angled down and depending on what I'm watching, I sometimes get frustrated with the sound being 3' higher then the screen. I have tried OVER-angling it towards my legs but it didn't help at all. This is one of many reasons I am building a real home...

    Constructing Theater/Family room

    Are you going to cover the window up? You can paint the glass flat black on the inside and it will look like a perfect, limo tinted window on the outside. Then you can just build something thin to put it front and paint the whole area a solid color.

    Need help/advice with built-in speakers...

    Hmm, how about a Poplar 1x1 lip that is mounted on the outside of the wall. You then CAREFULLY slip your covered frame into the whole with a straight edge and use a 1 1/2" finishing nailer from the side of the 1x2 poplar to grab from the edges?

    Need help/advice with built-in speakers...

    If you had access from the back, you could build a frame that fits into the slot after the material is stretched over it and stapled on to the back edge of the frame. You could then insert the frame in from the front, having someone use a ruler on the outside to measure a pre-determined lip that...

    Cleanest install - Plasma and surround

    You could always build a custom WEDGE enclosure that mounts between the studs in your ceiling and houses your favorite mains on an angle aimed at the listening area. This can then be covered by an acoustic friendly material that matches the ceiling in color.
