KelvinS1965 said:Just come across this thread, absolutely lovely job there. I half expected to see the popular 'dedicated' room that is painted in light colours, so good on you for disappointing me. That sub looks like it could shake the house down. I like that you did all the acoustics measurements and got the response nice and flat too.
I guess it's due to the size of the room, but is the equipment rack very visible at the side of the screen, or does it have a cover? My living room set up is similar and I found that the LEDs off the various kit did slightly light up the screen until I figured out how to turn most of them off or cover them during films (BT router I'm looking at you ). I like the changing lighting in the ceiling too, gives a nice effect for when it isn't in complete darkness (while the popcorn lady is coming round I guess? ).
I recently tried the Darbee with my HD350 and lens set up and found it works really well to sharpen things up without adding halos/ringing. It's a growing club.
Hi,
sorry missed your question. its a microwave bracket from Argos (costs about £12).
Phil.LFC used the same idea in his build, I simply borrowed his idea .

I have previously had an attempt at home made screen with no joy!
Yours looks amazing. are you able to share a link where there maybe a guide or some help with design etc.
Thanks
I have a new question, how did you manage to put the panels on the side walls? do you have pics?
Thanks

eiren said:Love this build. Really makes me start to think seriously about moving now and getting a dedicated room for the job rather than a living room that converts to a cinema at the flick of a button.
You've definitely convinced me that I need a 2:40:1 screen and anamorphic lens setup now to go with the X90 PJ.

Room looks as good as ever Just wondered how you were getting on with demopad now? Do you find it practical using touchscreen only for control?
...with the lights and projector off it's impossible to see a thing.
Hi Stuart, great room! Would really love a dedicated room like yours.
I notice on your ADA you have an IR blaster stuck to the front. Is this attached to your Global Cache? Because it needn't be...
I use the iRule software on my iPads with a Global Cache IP2IR, but the GC device is only controlling my LCD TV, Sky and Oppo player.
My XBMC, ADA and Roku accept commands over the network (XBMC and Roku over HTTP, the ADA over IP).
With iRule, I get the holly grail of "feedbacks" so on the screen of the iPad I get to see the ADA's volume, input and sound mode.
I have a suite 7.1 HD, but use the codes and settings for your model.
I've even gotten an iPad mini in a neat leather case, but the Mrs insists on having a "normal" remote, so I have to run a Harmony 900 with an IR blaster in front of the rack as well.
If you go down this route I can give you some advice as it's a pig setting up gateways and codes and even then it only works in iOS, android always messes up.
