    Projector Ceiling Mount

    Well, I decided to just take the plunge, and ordered #4 (The Speaker Stand)... it'll hopefully be here this week... sucks though that the shipping costs MORE than the item itself. I swear, sometimes these sellers really rip you off on the shipping... :frowning: Moe.

    Projector Ceiling Mount

    Hi all, I'm looking for a decent ceiling mount for my new Optoma H27 DLP Projector. The thing is great, but it has a HUGE offset, and when I sit it on my coffee table I have to prop something underneath it to get the image to display dead-centre of the wall. It's also sitting mid-room, and...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    Well, the H27 arrived yesterday, and it blows my previous projector (Epson S3) out of the water. The image quality was much higher, and no noticeable screendoor effect to speak of. I also kept my eyes open for any potential rainbow effect issues, and I'm happy to report that I don't notice any...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    I'm not really sure how to read it, but epson's site (http://www.epson.co.uk/products/vide...pec/EMP-S3.htm) lists the offset for the S3 at 9.6:1. I've got my fingers crossed that the H27 doesn't project onto my ceiling... I'd hate to have to sacrifice a good projector because I can't "point...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    I'd like to continue using it on the table... that way, when I'm not using it, I can hide it away out of plain site. I intend for my basement to be used for more than just watching movies (it's not a dedicated theater), so having the projector hanging from the ceiling might be a bit of an...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    Ironically, about 2 hours ago I ordered the Optoma H27 online, after having read several reviews of it on both projectorcentral & projectorreviews (many of the specs I listed in previous posts were from those sites). What convinced me (other than the comments here - thanks by the way!) were...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    Ok, so I'm slowly narrowing down my choices to replace the Epson S3 LCD. I know that I want to go with a DLP - that's for sure... so it's basically down to 2 (or 3) systems... 1) Infocus X3 ($1039) - got generally good reviews from what I've read. Pros: 1600 Ansi, 1024x768 native...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    Hey guys, Thanks for the responses so far... I've actually played/tweaked the projector to try to minimize the SDE... I've moved it forward, closer to the wall/screen (making the image effectively smaller), and I'm sitting about 19-20' back from the projected image, but I still see the...

    LCD vs. DLP Projector Help!

    Hi all, I need some help, guidance, and assistance in determining how I should proceed with a recent projector purchase & setup. I recently purchased an Epson S3 LCD Projector from Costco, for less than $750 CAD ($850 after tax). The price was right, and it listed itself as HDTV capable...

    Cable choices in Toronto suburbs

    I have Rogers Extreme, and don't subscribe to any plan for cable TV (there's nothing good on these days anyway, and if I want to watch a show I'll wait for the season DVDs to come out). Rogers is faster than Bell, but does have the 60GB cap, which can suck if you do a lot of downloading or if...

    Need opinions on Akai 55" TV at Costco

    Hey all, I was in costco yesterday, and I noticed that they had an Akai 55" HD Ready RPTV on display for $1000 (Canadian), and I wanted to know if anyone has any opinions or experience with it. The model is PT5598HD - I did some online research, and I can't find much in terms of a recent...

    95.5 cents per litre! Holy Cow!

    When I left the house this evening to pick up my girlfriend, the price of gas was at around 88 cents per litre (I'm Canadian... in canada we do it by the litre, so in the US that would equate to what... 19 cents per gallon roughly?). Anyway... on our way home, I noticed the needle on my gas...

    Justice League Unlimited

    Just a suggestion (and I'm going to put this in a spoiler tag, because it's giving away a bit of the spin from Epilogue), in case anyone here hasn't watched Batman Beyond , do so before watching the final episode. It heightens the enjoyment of the season's final episode, and ends the season with...

    Having seen all the episodes for this season, I'll say this... {Keanu} WHOA! {/Keanu} I look forward to the conversations after you've all finished watching this season. :) Moe.

    Sure am glad I don't own property in the US

    :thumbsdown: Three situations come to mind: 1)What if say, Hilton Hotels comes along and says to the local government "You know, we'd really like to build a brand new luxury resort on that plot of land that the local Wal-Mart is sitting on."... what then? 2)What if, say, Walmart or...

    Batman Begins (2005)

    I'm also a big comic book fan (I still collect a wide variety of DC titles... no Marvel or any other publisher). I'm familiar with the backgrounds of all the characters you mentioned (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Flash, etc.)... but - different characters, different...

    Justice League Unlimited

    I just got around to catching up on the JLU episodes this week. WOW!!! The writing, attention to detail, and continuity in this show is absolutely amazing. On top of that, there's always a great deal of attention paid to characterization - each individual member of the DCU is properly handled...

    The WWE™

    Someone fill me in please - what's going on with ECW, and what warrented the "OH MY GOD" statment? Sounds enticing... :) Moe.

    So how is the new season of Family Guy?

    It's like the show never left the air. Watch it - if you liked the DVD boxed sets, you'll enjoy what you see with season 4. Moe.

    This FREAKS me out

    I was thinking "Condom", and Vader guessed Gasmask and Earplugs. I think he's a little too pre-occupied with his suit to think of something he never used as Anakin (hence Luke & Leia). Stumped the bum. Moe.

    Are you a Lego nut ?

    The piano is just... just... wow. (it's fully functional & playable) I can't imagine the amount of time, patience, planning, and talent it must take to do what this guy has done. Just... wow. Moe.

    Early TV is a great way to study early Babyboomer culture.

    Whenever I watch The Flintstones, I'm reminded of how different the male & female roles were back in 50's & 60's North American society, whereby men were the working stiffs, and women were typically housewives, and stayed at home taking care of the house & children. Very rarely in that show did...

    Smallville Season 4 thread

    Finally got around to watching the finale last night, and although I liked what I saw, I can't really say that it redeemed the craptastically bad episodes that devastated the series this season. See my previous posts for my angst-ridden "reviews" and what I thought of those particular nuggets of...

    I seriously NEVER knew that! I'll need to contact Mr. Yankovic & ask him for a writing credit... ;) Moe.

    Nobody Loves Raymond?

    My sister & I have our own way of referring to this show... "Everybody tolerates Raymond." I've only watched a couple of episodes, and would categorize it as "rainy sunday afternoon viewing"... i.e. something I would watch to break up the monotony, not because it's something I'm interested...

    The Star Trek Enterprise appreciation and Season 4 discussion thread (this one's for the fans).

    If you do a search on eBay, you can bid on the green crayon that was used to write the last episode. (I hated it, for every reason expressed in this thread, and more. :thumbsdown: ) Moe.
