Why wait for that you could have a Epson TW 4000 or even TW 5000 for that price and still have a bigger screen...

I dont see why people waste 2 or 3 grand on a Plasma or LCD when you can get a projector at the same price and watch everything twice the size. Everyone that walks threw my door goes WOW... even had a tradesman sit down and watch TV for like 15min.

@ fandtm666 - can your projector fill your screen? Or can't you get it back far enough?

Well my systems are a bit ordinary by previous post standards, but any way...

----Main system----

40" Shaub Lorenz 1080p LCDTV
Denon AVR-2700 (old, but working fine, so not allowed to replace)
AR M2 Front mains (same as above)
Goldring alloy rears, with no-name, new-ish, replacement 5" japanese drivers

Brand-less 100W 2x4" centre
Core2 Duo HTPC with VisionPlus sat card, Hauppage DTV card, nVidia 8600GT +HDMI in a Silverstone LC11m case (no blu-ray yet until internal readers come down in price a bit more)
Humax 5400
DM500S
Austar receiver
Un-rememberable brand, cheap Indonesian dish positioner, 3.7m c-band dish, 1.8m Ku prime-focus etc. etc.

----Outdoor system----

El-cheapo Acer laptop
Viewsonic cheap as chips XVGA DLP projector
2.7m waterproof portable screen made from white rubberised canvas and aluminium extrusion
NAD 3020i stereo amp
2 x Redback 8" portable PA speakers

I have Clipsal star-serve throughout the house as well, but it doesn't really come under the 'Home Theatre' category.

yes its set for 16x9 for the octagon and lg but at smaller 4x3 for standard tv as it is grainy otherwise

**Onefella** · 27-02-09, 11:30 PM

ok, you should have 'filled' the screen for your 'brag' shot.
