Hi all.
Ok so think this mag be my first forum post ever I am not sure. Please be kind.
So I am upgrading from my trusty ultra reliable super epic 19 inch tekinika 7 year old telly to well I was thinking of a 75 inch uhd all singing makes your moring coffee for you 6 grand samsung whatsit. And I was thinking with the black bars. My movies (which btw i refuse to watch on my little telly i have my reasons) are still going to only be maybe 70 inch diagonal if not less i havent done the maths.
Projector it is then. And i didnt want to spend 6 grand anyway. So with that in mind ive chosen a kit list from a well knows friendly store. And i am wondering what you experts all think. I am going for a good value budget (i dont use the word cheap) but this is my first exploration into the world of home cinema.
So here is the list.
Optoma 50hd
Homegear 120inch 16:9 motorized screen
Onkyo txsr444
Mordant short m20 fronts
Mordant short m10 rears
Cambridge sx70 centre
Yamaha ystfsw050
Oh and speaker wire
Do you think that kit will work well together. The room its going in will provide either a 3 or 5 meter throw. Living out in the sticks ive not been able to see many projectors in action. Only that one and the benq 1070 i think it is. But the benq had more ambiant light in the demo room. The room the cinema is going in can be turned into the 'bat cave' so that isnt a problem. Apart from my daughter not getting of her iphone.
I am worried about the screen. I have even less expeiance with those and i was considering building a fixed screen but dunelm only sell black out cloth 54 inch wide. Not wide enough.
Anyway ive babbled on enough. Id love to know what you all think. And any pointers will be most welcome.
Please assume my knowlage of all this is the same as a monkey discovering his own feet.
Thanks
