My theater is finally done ... pics inside!! (1 Viewer)

Greetings,

I got ahold of a NEC LT150 DLP projector in July, but due to a lack of funds, it's taken me this long to finish my theater room. Tonight will be my second night using the unit, so I thought I'd share my results. Ignore the screen, it's still a home made work in progress. The projector is mounted on the rear ceiling but it's out of view.

This was an interesting project because the room was small ... only 9.5X13. I think it turned out well and it feels bigger than it is.

Hey, thanks for all the kind words!
I'm pretty green when it comes to construction so this was a real headache for me LOL! I'm glad that I can finally relax and share my experience. It really is a dream come true.

Kevin,
The lamp and chairs are from Ikea. It's one of those crumpled paper lights that is very diffuse and moody. It looks much brighter in the pic.
I'm really tickled with what this projector can do! My screen is painted muslin, 52" X92" and if I slightly defocus the lense, the pixels completely disapear from my seat.
I'm going nuts with my digital camera, so here are a few gratuitous screen shots that I took tonight.

Looks great! Those images look spectacular, what kind of digital camera are you using?

 

[Dave Poehlman]

Those screen shots look great! I am printing this out to show the MRS we really do need a front projector.

Ahh.. the chairs from IKEA. A great deal and very comfortable.

Great job! I envy you your room. I consider my setup nice, but it is in a shared living room/dining room. I would love to have a seperate room like yours!!! Just a little more room in the back for a bar w/ fridge! Of course it would be completely sound-proofed from the doggone dishwasher and 8 year-old son too.
