Re: Bedroom Cinema

agree a floating wall would be better as i wouldnt like to lay that close to the tele at night !!!!

Re: Bedroom Cinema

I wouldn't be comfortable with a tv beside the bed in that way. It would be a shame to hit your tv in your sleep...

Re: Bedroom Cinema

Hey Just a small update cleared all of the rubbish from my room and i am starting to build the box in which all the components will sit.


The blue table is where the control box is going to be



This is all of the cables under my desk which is another reason why i am doing this project
