Anyhow since I got bored, I started to get tired of watching on the 15" monitor.
So I still had the 50" screen from 1960 in storage. And I decided to quickly set it up.
I would put the whole set up back together, 120" screen and remount the projector. But this way is easier, in case more work starts on the condo. So I can just quickly just throw a sheet over the projector. and the 1960 screen I don't care about.
Anyhow, this was done with no calibration disc (which it really needs, but that screen is so old, it has a yellow tinge)
The first pic is with the lights off, the second pic is with the hallway and dining room light on (both 60 watt bulbs) the third pic with me standing there, I beleive the hallway light is on, but dining room light is off.
I set this up in about 20 minutes. With my proper set-up, you would be amazed. And I think you would hold off on buying more front mains, and go ahead and make the projector purchase....
Click on the pics below and tell me what you think..
Yes, I am a tad drunk.... Go figure - This post is--------- Well, I don't know what it is...
But I guess I was trying to point out, that a baby could set-up a projector and get great quality. However when setup correctly, it will be superb quality,,
EDIT, oh yeah you had asked about cigarette smoke, well I just finished a cig before taking these pics. Obviously I did not even line up the edges. Its just to give you a idea what to expect. Also my projector is not really made for HT use, it is for large venue. It does have 2000:1 contrast. But you may want to look at the H31, it should blow mine away...
