It's my living room.
As you can see, I am not a neatness freak
Thankfully, I have a most understanding HM.

Thank you, finally took the plunge after ruminating on it for a while.

He also helped to wall mount my Unifi Router and Modem, installed the custom TV bracket at the same time.
He was doing all this alone, so I guess that's why it took him so long.
Also quite meticulous and careful e.g. used a small box to collect the dust as he drilled, drilled very slowly and explained what he was doing all the time.

30" from the floor, so don't have to keep looking up.
Iniatially,I was thinking of 36" which will clear both the speaker and subs.
I was tempted to go for a bigger screen but logic finally won over.
Sitting 10 feet away, 92" is the limit for us.
As it is, watching fast scenes was giving me vertigo last night

This guy actually does work for CMY.
His name is Peter and his mobile is 0122956826.

He was recommended by my hi-fi dealer friend.
Does work for CMY, among others.
I'll pm you his charges, which is I believe is very reasonable.
His is a lump sum quote and did not charge me for mounting the plasma TV, Unifi router and modem. This extra work was done upon my request.
He came a day earlier to survey what needed to be done, and custom made the wall bracket and mount for the TV.

On further studying the issue, the keystone issue can be solve by a little further adjustment.
This will mean the lower edge of the screen will be 31" from the floor.
Probably can do this myself.

The Unser seems to be a preferred mode of transport among you guys
He has a huge NGV tank installed.

My sitting position is actually 10' from the 80" wide screen ( eyeball to screen).
According to your formula, I should be sitting as close as 8' from the screen
My HM now sits behind the main sofa whenever we use the screen.
If I increase the screen size any further, I think she will go upstairs to watch her HK serials.
Last night, relatives came and also commented "too close"

Unic High Contrast Grey Manual 92".
So far no scalloping noticed, but it is still new.
Keeping fingers crossed.

That gives me an excuse to go motorised then

The V cleavage is from the repeated pulling down on the screen via the handle.
Can it be avoided if we pull down on either side of the handle?

Actually when in 2.35 aspect ratio, it is ok.
When watching the whole 16.9 ( Avatar, Oceans, Planet Earth, etc), it is 'huge'

Last few nights, didn't hear her complain ady
Now awaiting the curtains. Managed to get some nice blackout curtains in a deep maroon color.
Inclu of rails and sewing ~ RM1.5K
There is still too much ambient light from the staircase and wet kitchen.
Delivery only after 17th Sept due to the raya backlog.
After curtains, calibration will be done.

Very impressive.
Neat and cozy.
The walls look like they have sound proof panels.
Care to share what they are?

Where can I find a 2.35 aspect screen here in KL/PJ?
Apparently, one can configure the HC4000 for this screen, and at a press of aspect button, get 16:9 HDTV ratio too ( Black bars at the sides ) on the same screen.

I am looking for a 106" wide x 45" high screen 2.35 aspect ratio.

to be honest, while watching the movie, I am so deeply engrossed, I don't even notice them.
Even all the blue, white and yellow lights from the unifi router, Denon avr,power amp, astro, decoder, 4 bay Hotway and Dune Base all seems to disappear when the show begins.
Talk about being engrossed

One of the 'sifu' from this forum here is coming over tonight .
I hope to have his honest opinions to help improve further, my humble system.
In any case, I pray he won't be terribly disappointed too

pics !!
So your plasma TV is on hydraulics that go down and out of view.
How big is your screen and what pj are you using? The JVC250 I bet.

Yeah, me too.
I need to calibrate my pj too,
have to be at night tho' as the curtains have been delayed yet again.

DannyOP, congrats on your new set up.
When can we come and kaypoh?

Thanks for sharing.

My bill is never less than 400 too .
At least 2 aircond running every night and the kids leave the lights on even when they are not in the room
I used to have at least 3 lights on externally, but with the rate increase, I have switched them off.
