    Building your own LCD video projector

    Hey guys, Can you please explain what SCD and OLED are. I have never heard of those. All i can think is that OLED may stand for some something Light Emitting Display. Any links to info on them would be great. Thanks.

    Building your own LCD video projector

Also, is it going to be anything like the one in this thread http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...5&pagenumber=1 If so, then I am definately interested. That looks just like a...

    Building your own LCD video projector

    I have been doing a lot searching on this type of stuff on diyaudio. I have a couple questions. 1) Does it make any noise (i.e. fan noise)? 2) Does it get very hot? 3) Do you have to use a computer? In other words, is the XGA cable the only type of connection, and if so, is there a way to...

    Supposedly terrific movies that just didn't do it for you... and why.

    Resevoir Dogs- hated it from beginning to end. That's sad too, because I love every other quentin tarentino movie. Godfather 1-2 - Bored the crap out of me. The parts where something actually happened was cool, but I really didn't care too much for it. Sorry guys. North by Northwest -...

    About to start my new project... does anyone have good ideas on unusual enclosures?

    Michael, do you have any more pics of that setup and any descriptions of the speakers and such? I have never seen anything like those, especially the center. VERY COOL. Are you going to finish them? Anyway, Javier, I think a very cool idea is to use an obelisk shape (like the washingto...

    I haven't seen: Citizen Cane Psycho Vertigo Godfather III Heat Scarface Raging Bull X-Men or X2 Terminator 1 or 2 Gone with the Wind Casablanca and many many others. I have the crappiest video stores, and I dont have the money to buy them all. Oh well, maybe one day.

    "WOW!" Moments in the Movies

    Most of my wow moments have been mentioned. I'll just give you some original ones. Shawshank Redemption - When the Warden throws the rock through the poster and discovers the tunnel that Andy used to escape The Usual Suspects - When we find out who the real Keyser Soze is when Verbal's...

    "Stealing Harvard" ... Lame And Idiotic

    In my opinion, a comedy doesn't necesarily have to have a great plot as long as it makes you laugh. I mean isn't that the point of a comedy? Tommy Boy, Mr. Deeds, Happy Gilmore...they are not original, but they crack me up, so I enjoy watching them. Stealing Harvard looks like it will be one of...

    Cats VS Dogs

    Dogs are the best pets, no contest. First of all, besides being allergic to cats, i just plain don't like them. They crap and pee in your house. They tear up things with their claws, and they have hairballs. I have three labs, that live inside. They never go to the bathroom in the house. They...

    Are these speakers too good to be true?

    Sorry dude, but you are thinking of Michaura. They are the budget form of Axiom. They are very good for the money. Ubid and ebay usually have them. Look for Michaura m55. When you see them you can tell that they are made by Axiom as they actually look like Axiom speakers. those meraks just look...

    Why is a factury remanufactured reciever so much less

    Remanufactured are used, and therefore may have some cosmetic damages such as small scrathes and dents. The build quality is the same. If you can get one with a full warranty, a refurb is a good way to go for the money. Peace

    Best end credits?

    They aren't closing credits, but I LOVED the opening credits to Panic Room. They were so cool looking. Fight Club and Seven were cool too. I guess Fincher just has a knack for credits (and movie making as well). Later

    Need comments on 3802 vs 1200 vs SR7200

    Earl, I don't think so. They are in the same class. The Yamaha is every bit as good as the Denon. Mark another vote for Yamaha. Later

    *** Official "ROAD TO PERDITION" Review Thread

    This is definately my favorite of 2002. I just plain loved this movie. The musical score is one of the best I have heard. Top notch acting. Great directing. Awesome story. What more could you want. Definately the saddest movie of the year, but definetly a great movie. About its predictability...

    Dipoles and bipoles: What are they?

    Thanks, Greg. That makes a lot of sense. It sounds like Dipolars will be better for their room. The TV is in the corner so the rear speakers are kinda hard to place well. Later, Ches

    Dipoles and bipoles: What are they?

    I have seen them and know what they are, but I dont know the differences in the two. I was going to build some rear speakers for my parents using Tangband fullrangers. I was wanting to use two driveres in each speakers. I was thinking of trying a bipole or dipole type, once I figure out which is...

    Talk about giving your sub a workout !!

    I know. I bought it yesterday. That part whenthe Wraith is peeking ofer the tree root looking for frodo, the bass was out of control. I had to turn it down becasue my dogs were freaking out. Great stuff. I can't wait to use it as a show-off disc. I just wish it were DTS. Later

    Onkyo 595 and 4 ohm speaker question

    Try the 6ohms position first. When you switch it to 4ohm, it lowers the actual power output in order to keep the amp from getting to hot... I had an onkyo 494 and ran it with 4 ohms speakers for about 6hours a day every day for about 5 months without a single problem. If the amp cuts out on you...

    what amp for 4 ohm speakers?

    I used to have an onkyo tx-ds494 (lowest in the onkyo line) and ran it at 4ohms for 6 hours a day with no problems whatsoever. Now I have a Yamaha and it too has no problems. Yamaha's and Harman Kardon's both have 4-8ohm switches. Almost any reputable brand wil work fine with 4 homs spekaers...

    I have been in to car audio for about 5 years, and home audio for only about a year. I used to be a car audio freak. I have had three car audio systems, and heard many of the best car audio subs (Image Dynamics, which i own, Eclipse, Crystal, Audiobahn, Kicker.... This being said, I have been...

    what music and movies to test the SLAM factor

    Nelly Furtado's CD has some really pounding bass in the 35-45 Hz range. In my car (which only has 1 Image Dynamics 10) it makes my chest hurt. Check it out, it is also good to test sound quality of your mids and highs too. This is in addition to all the other stuff alreadu recommended. Later
