If it's on a headboard, wouldn't the fan noise irritate the heck out of you?

Is there any 8350 owners in here?

Perhaps headboard is too near can consider other location.

Ok forget the headboard, just now i measured my small meeting room projector distance to the screen is around 7' to get around 5' diagonal display image on the screen.

So say the normal condo bedroom height is around 9', height of the bed is 2' so if i mount the projector 2' above the floor on the wall behind the bed. I should be able to get 7' distance and that 5' projected display on the ceiling (thats 60" diagonal screen same size with queensized bed width).

Hmm now need to remove the 4' high headboard.

I have an idea of getting a HD projector, mount it on the headboard and project it on the bedroom ceiling, so while i lay down i can watch something instead of the bare ceiling.
or you could try a mirror ..... brows.gif whistling.gif

again, need advise from Sifus around. If i am going to share my front speaker between HT and HiFi, how do i do it without physically unplug and plug my speaker cable from HIFI to HT?

if able to share, i can save some cost and probably go for a better speaker.

Hi guys, need some advice on a new 3D hdtv for my home theater setup. i am going through an upgrade process one at a time and just recently bought the panasonic dmp-bdt210 blu-ray player (which is a 3D player) to upgrade my aging DVD player.

My current TV is a Pana Plasma TH42PA60A which is hooked up to a relatively new Pioneer VSX-1019AH.

Credit to Panasonic, the TV is more than 5 years old but the picture quality is still top notch but am looking for a Full HD and 3D TV.

Any recommendations? I am still probably sticking to plasma (unless someone can convince me otherwise). All the help you guys can give is appreciated.

plasma is good... we have an old school 42" panny plasma )which costed 16,500rm some 6-7 years ago) that is still going strong with much daily astro usage smile.gif... dad's 42" samsung LCD in his bedroom just suffered the typical one line down the panel burn and now displays a total white after 30seconds of powering up... he has switched back to plasma in the form of the panasonic 50X30K and cant be happier smile.gif

yeah plasma picture quality is still the best to my eyes... but am trying to be "green" the best i can... biggrin.gif you know, hybrid car, solar water heater, LED TVs... samsung's LED offerings do look good in terms of form factor - don't understand why panny's are so old school in design...

Man it's taking me forever to complete my rack. I got most of my parts today but somehow the seller gave me 3 pieces of blank panel of different metal gauge. I'm looking forward to get the front wired and finish up the rear wiring.
