The latest video showcasing my mindset on what I originally wanted to do with my home theater plans vs what I had to do to honor the film-makers vision using triple black velvet!

I'm wondering if there will be an appreciable difference between these projectors: Optoma Technology HD28HDR Full HD DLP Projector - $700 Epson Home Cinema 3800 HDR Pixel-Shift 4K UHD 3LCD Home Theater Projector - $1600 Epson Home Cinema 4010 Pixel-Shifted UHD 3LCD Home Theater Projector -...

As the subject suggests, I felt blessed that I was able to move into a house with a prewired home theater system. I thought I would easily figure how to connect everything, but it turns out what I am missing is the basic intelligence necessary to figure out what I am missing! What I need is...

Long story longer, I just installed a lovely wood burning fireplace on the wall where my TV used to hang. I can hang my TV on the new chimney chase... and block the lovely masonry work I'm doing and potentially soak the TV full of heat from the fireplace, but I have decided to go projection...

Hi! I'm setting up a proper Home Theater room and looking to replace my current HD projector and go 4k. In a perfect world, I'd get something that supported all of the HDR formats, but I don't think such a thing exists. I don't even see a lot that support Dolby Vision. My budget is...

Hello everyone! I have a JVC RS35 projector, and I'm very happy with it so far. My only complaint is that sometimes, when a single shot includes very bright areas next to very dark ones, the light from the bright areas seems to affect the darker areas, making them look slightly washed out. It...
