My HT will be done before the end of the year till then the equipment list coming is on my sig

Get a proper screen, the results will be much more satisfying.
Anyways, great home theaters in here guys.

Proof we don't need bigarse screens and a 15425.1 speaker setup to enjoy our movies and music.

Can get here is it?

From my experience, painted Blackout looks better than screen, but now with a proper screen my pictures pop out with more colour accuracy than before.

higher gain, brighter picture, lower gain, dimmer.

a gain of 1-1.5 is best, brighter and hotspots as well as sparklies will be evident.

Grey screens are slightly better than white material, Gray screens are often called high contrast screens because can boost contrast in rooms which aren't completely dark, like with ambient light. The gray screen absorbs ambient light that is around better than a white screen does. Doing this, the black level on the screen is maintained.

SmX sells a grey screen with 0.9 gain, it's picture quality is slightly better than mine, if you can sacrifice screen size, but if u have a bright projector, that's the better of the 2.

I personally just take the 1.16 gain because I feel it would be needed if one day my projector turns half-brightness. Even if I'm getting a light cannon (Sim2, Digital Projection) You can always appreciate the extra brightness, since these high-end projector already pack mean contrast and punch needed.

Wah, can't believe I didn't post my budget setup here

My budget setup



Setup consists:

JVC DLA-HD1 Full HD Projector
SmX ProCurve 2.35 Scope Screen 1.16 gain weaved acoustically transparent
Prismasonic lens
Anthem Statement D2 Pre/Pro
Bryston 2 channel (lupa which one I check, SST4 I think)
Sunfire 5 channel cinema grand
PS3
Snell k.5 fronts
snell cr.5 center
snell sr.5 surrounds
Energy CR3 surrounds
Sunfire True Subwoofer dual 8inch


The room is practically unchanged now, Just that the front speakers are on stands now. And 8 blu-rays are on the way from Amazon

when I get my blu rays hehe

This coming month la

Haha, I'm proud too say I designed the room from scratch

Exactly what I'm using

Can't really compare though. I've been using real sub cable throughout my HT life, first monster, now QED, since I did a mojor renovation for the room, and now all the cables are QED Silver Anniversary and Performance.

Cheers mate
