:evil2:

How cool is that?

Are you taking bookings yet?! :thumbsup: /yes

[enigma]

hehehe! We have been out looking at leather sofas today, the weekend will see the scheme chosen then it will be mad trying to get it done in the next 7 weeks or so!

The room will be a games room/gym/study/bedroom (the sofa will be of the sofa bed variety)

The plan is a huge motorised screen instead of a TV, the PS2, 5.1 surround........ :leer:

depends what you are after, LCD projector pretty good and cheap and not much good in day light and blacks / quality poor.

DLP projector excellent but the bulbs are £400 a shot. You are looking at one bulb per year with easy use.

Then if you don't get the right set up you get rainbows ( cheaper projectors ) which looks ****e. i.e move your eyes from side to side qiuck and you can see rainbow colours, not good.

Loads to look into before you buy and spend a load of cash and end up unhappy and out of pocket.

This big screen stuff aint so easy as it looks.

I spoke to my mate and he said the projector he wants to get is not even out in the USA yet so will be several months before he is in a position to even consider selling his - sorry mate :embarasse

[paulmc]

No problem, thanks for asking :thumbsup:

So, after a moment of madness I have suddenly gone all upmarket! The room shown in the above pictures has been stripped bare ready for decorating. The leather corner sofa arrives in 9 weeks, and last weekend I bought a new projector

Phillips BCool SV1 - a DLP beauty for LCD money (it retails at £2200 :rolleyes4 )

a Remote Controlled Electric projection Screen (2m wide for a 100" picture :thumbsup: )

and a Sony 5.1 surround system

So here are some snaps of the screen which I have just hung

[enigma]

OK 4 more pics

1 in the full light

1 in the dark (no real difference!)

1 of me ;)

1 of my fave place!

:thumbsup:

[paulmc]

lucky git, looks well smart :thumbsup:

My AV corner :smug:

[Nick Mann]

First come first served? I was vaguely thinking of popping up on saturday, but I'm now thinking of friday night!! :rolleyes4

[enigma]

LOL :leer:

[enigma]

The room is almost ready!

The sofa arrives tomorrow and I have a bit of wiring and some tarting up to do but here is the BDA home ents room!

Some transformation! I think those that saw it before will agree!

[Nick Mann]

Cool!

Me wanna try! That sofa had better arrive!!

[Brunty]

Might I propose a place in the midlands for the national meet? Somewhere near to the M1, with plenty of entertainment (games, movies and music), maybe a well stocked garage for anyone wanting to tinker???

/Hmmm Thinking Nottingham way, but struggling to think of an appropriate venue

I know somewhere in that region that boasts all of the above and fantastic catering as well! I am not sure that it is big enough for a national meet though :inquisiti

[enigma]

Sofa has arrived :thumbsup:

How cool!

[Kieran]

Bloody Hell, you've been busy - that was a building site last time I saw it!! :inquisiti

Are you going to burn your feet in front of the fire?! :evil2:

[BraindG]

:D awesome. /looks around for Betty... K, i would so love a big ass tv room like that, sit there and chill, watch some big assed tv.. (oh, heres betty) yeah, like i was saying... erm.. yeah, btw i was told you shouldn't play games on a projector? Something to do with the static parts of the game i.e. the rev/speed counters, or the gun in doom3. Burning the image into the projector, or something? not sure if this statement was aimed at all projectors, or a certain kind.

I think that's just rear screen projector TVs.

Plasma TVs used to have the same problem but I think newer plasma units are meant to be ok now.

Looks good. :thumbsup:
