Bro Tim,

How is you baby? Name? How mummy?

Back on topic, how is your TW700 doing nowaydays? My TW700 is performing really well, averaging 8 - 10 hours a week. Never skipped a beat.

I question for bro dirt and u, my unit is approaching 150hrs, and I think the picture is starting to dim, but none of my family members notices it. Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me? What is the hours on your bulb and do u notice any dimming?

Jason

Hi Bro J,

Uhmm, kinda funny tat ... my unit is ok where brightness is concerned .. in fact if u ask me de pics are getting better than de first time I powered it on... in fact last night watched a bit of de docu Planet Earth - Poles to poles and de scene in de arctic tundra of polar bears is so clear and white dat de polar bears look yellow in colour ... uhm my unit is in its 140th hour or so... and I am using TB1 mode but then again I watch mainly at nite only...

Maybe its de particular movie u watched ... kut ... I watched Fantastic 4- TRotSS and de scene where de FF were chasing Dr Doom on de SS's board was very dark too , not much detail but I think it was meant like dat even when I watched de movie in de cinema, if not mistaken...

Cheers

Yup,me too....well go for AW15 on this NOV....what is the screen you r using for....
white screen or gray screen?

i opt for Draper screen.

Yup...me too~~~~
are you going for 106" with grey????

when do you going to buy this AW15?

Fixed screen; Onyx / Perm?

Btw, there is one local company that produce screen. Saw it in KLIAV show. you may check its web : www.amscreen.com

I'm toying with the idea of getting a projector for my room. Thinking of putting a pulldown screen in front of the desk, 90" diagonal or so. Thinking of mounting the projector behind the fan, you can see the wires coming down from the ceiling in the picture. The distance from the wires to the edge of the desk is around 12'. What do you guys think? Doable?

Bro arj, can. But, have to calculate the throw ratio which is suitable to give abt 90" picture from 12'.

how big of a room is needed for a projector+htib to be placed in a room?My concern is the projector and the distance of the wall

Right now I'm trying to find out the exact price for the screen, mountings, cables and installation. Hopefully this time the project can go ahead and not abandoned like last year

Check out the following link. Choose the projector that you're thinking of getting and you should get a rough idea how far the projector should be from the creen for your desired image size.

How much does a screen which can be mounted to the ceiling costs?

Hi,

When I was last hunting for screens I found out, dat here in Mal, 16 : 9 screens are very expensive ... even a simple 100" fixed screen starts from 2k depending on brands and material... 4 : 3 ones are cheap thou'

Cheers

waa...screen dat expensive aaa...what screen are you using?how much did it cost?

Its doable, but like everyone says, find the projector that can throw a 90' diag picture from 12'. Pne u have a list of these projectors, try to audition them and pick the best that suit your budget..... THEN only work in the rest of the installation like cabling screen etc. You have to start at the projector first!!!

Firstly ask how big a picture u want? THe whole idea of a Home theatre is so that you get that immersive experience that u get in a cinema. Too big or too small also no good. Factors to cosider is how near/ far from the screen, enough room for all the electronics, projector and screen......

Mount a screen on the ceiling..... does this mean u want a retractable screen that will roll up to the ceiling when not in use? If so it can start from as low as RM600 to RM100,000 . THe affordable ones are the ones sold in computer shops for office presentation purposes. They are OK for the price, usually not very flat but usable. Draper etc do manufacture retractable screens but then u must be prepared to pay.

wow..expensive..what about wall mounted one?

Saw in the papers today that musical image is selling the Panasonic AX100E for RM5990. Last year when I went there to demo the AE900 I was told that mountings and cables will be around RM1000 and a 92" pulldown screen is just under RM1k. Might go there after raya to demo the AX100E. The reviews for it are pretty good. It seems that the placement for this projector is very flexible. The price for the projector setup is comparable to a good 42" LCD

Hi,

I ended wif a custom made screen using an mdf board wif a very durable matt white skin on one side - size of 96 X 54" ... not de best but I am happy wif wat I paid for it...

On pull down screens ... it is better to have fixed screens as pull down usually will suffer from waves and flapping from de aircon or fan and dat can be a real turndown...

On de Ax100 ... just a heads up - read AX 100... a good read of a 100 pgs ... will make u think ... kekeke

BTW de AX200 is now hot in de US ...

Cheers

Waaahhh... 141 pages! Probably will spend some time reading it over the weekend

What's your take on it? Worth it to spend the extra money over a 900u or optoma hd70?

Ha ha ha,

U r asking de wrong chap here ... I m on de epson camp... u need to ask a user like Bro Tim la... he has used one before ...

FWIW I did shortlist de Panny ax100 before I decided on de epson ... go read de avs pgs la bro then u decide for urself...

De panny ae900 is even older than de ax100 provided u can find one new tat is...

Optoma hd70 is a dlp and not so flexible in setting up - u might want to look into dat ...

Cheers

is 14' by 10' room good enough to be set up as projector room?My concern is the distance of the seating from the screen
