    The Blue Theater...

    I actually like Black better than the Rosenut, which looks great, but the black ash look just seemed to do it for me. Plus, I could see the Black in person. I would've had to order the Rosenut sight unseen. Didn't want to risk it. Plus, my surrounds only come in black. Thanks. I was weary...

    Thanks. I'm going to put the Projector on the wall, on a rack.

    The Blue Theater...

    I forgot we can't edit posts after a few hours. So my 'reserved' post is all for nothing. So here are some more pics, this time with some Energy Porn! :p Oh Jonnythan, I saw the typo too late. Can't go back and re-edit! I basically typed it once and copy and paste. Who's got time to type...

    The Blue Theater...

    Thanks, I reduced the size. Oh I eat ice cream all year long, and play hockey in -30. Screenwise I don't know what size I want to go. Right now, the projected image is 87". I think I'll settle around there. Maybe make it out of blackout cloth.

    The Blue Theater...

    It is basically an upstairs bedroom converted into a small theater room with a projector. It's a very humble setup with a modest budget. More pictures to follow once I've tidied things up a bit, especially the cables. I've been buying stuff in pieces and never got around to...

    I can't wait to see how this works out!

    Help: Bought a LCD projector. Colors on white screen normal?.

    I used the THX optomizer on from some DVDs to set the levels. The picture looks good except where there's a light color. For example, I popped in my Jaws DVD and there are several scenes where the sky is visible. I noticed that the very light blue sky has a pinkish tone to it exactly where...

    Help: Bought a LCD projector. Colors on white screen normal?.

    I got a BenQ W500 that I bought from Costco. Today, after downloading the new PS3 demo 'Echochrome' (which is basically a stick figure in a white background), I noticed that the upper right hand side of the screen has a red tint that smears and fades to the white background. The lower right...

    Mini-Review: The Essential Ozzy Osbourne *Remastered* 2 disc CD

    Several of them jumped out at me. "Perry Mason" sounded great. I didn't expect "No More Tears" to sound that good. Also, "Desire" was a standout.

    Mini-Review: The Essential Ozzy Osbourne *Remastered* 2 disc CD

    I reluctantly bought this CD. Funny thing is, I was listening to my local radio station when I heard "Dreamer" by Ozzy. I really liked this song and actually was a favourite of mine throughout high school. Anyways, it occured to me that I don't have any Ozzy albums at all (I'm mainly into...

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

    Also check out the Elise tuned 111R. That thing doesn't have a lot of top speed but for Suzuka, it's amazing! With any other cars, Suzuka's corners have to be taken in 3rd gear with 60-75mph. With the tuned Elise, I can do 85mph. It handles like on rails.

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

    I have about 450k saved up. Half of the S class races finished. Mainly using the Mine's Skyline, which handles like a dream. Because of my Godlike-reflexes (hah!) this game isn't very difficult at all.

    How many of you see Rainbows on DLP projectors?

    Huh? that's weird. I fail to see how resolution plays a part in this. Rainbows are noticable when a bright white object moves across a dark background - like headlights of a car, or a candle in a dark room, or the sunlight seeping into a dark area.

    WOW! The new Pioneer 918TX is ridiculously powerful!

    Well, the 918 is actually cheaper than the Yamaha 6060 (RX V661). So I was surprised by the output volume. If you look at the volume setting on the receiver in the pic I posted, it's -38. That's where it seems appropriate for my small room. I think I had to run the Yamaha around -25 or so...

    WOW! The new Pioneer 918TX is ridiculously powerful!

    This is just temporary. I actually use hockey pucks. Right now they're leveling my projector on the couch until I can mount it on the wall.

    WOW! The new Pioneer 918TX is ridiculously powerful!

    Yea, 2/1 repeating. Got it for $399 with best buy gift card. I was waiting till we got the 663 in Canada, but with the new PS3 update, the 663 is useless to me. Here's a shot of it. My CD player is on top of the receiver with styrofoam on top to not block the vents.

    WOW! The new Pioneer 918TX is ridiculously powerful!

    My 6060's HDMI output died. Gave my friend a good deal on it (he's using only component). Ended up picking up the Pioneer 918 that just came out. I can't believe the power on it. It's rated at 105w/ch. I think my 6060 at -20 is the equivalent to the Pioneer at -32. That's a huge...
