Hi,
I was thinking of mounting a projector inside a coffee table/storage box in our lounge, then having a removable cover over the lens when not in use. I want to keep things as discreet as possible.
Has anyone else out there done a similar thing? The reason I ask is that I am wondering what to do about cabling as I don't really fancy cutting a hole in the floor and carpet in order to pass cables through. I have thought about just leaving a socket for the video connection in the side of the coffee table and routing cables under the floor (it is a wooden suspended floor) and coming out at the edge, then coiling the cable discreetly under the sofa until I need to use it.
I plan on mounting the motorised screen above the ceiling so the tab bar just shows flush with the cutout in the ceiling when the screen is in the up position.
Does anyone have any thoughts about shortfalls and/or problems with a low down mounted projector?
Thanks
Lenny
