Home:Theater

I’ve been meaning to make this post for several months now It just took me a while to get around to it. (Or to get a “round tuit” as my mother used to say…never did figure out what a round tuit was, but wouldn’t you know it, they sell them on online.) Anyway, already off topic.

Last December I started turning my living room into a home theater room. It was a big project, but it turned out nice! It’s wonderful to be able to watch a movie on my own 150″ screen. It has almost all the benefits of being at a movie theater, without the drawback. Plus a few advantages such as pause, rewind, subtitles, light control, etc.

I was going to put a picture of a kitty, or a T-Rex on the screen, but I didn’t get around to it.

The wall of my home theater screen all taped off and ready to paint. The screen is 150″ diagonal, I could have gone 170″, but then I wouldn’t have room for the speakers on the side, and the electrical plugs at the bottom would have been in the way.

I applied the special screen paint that I purchased from DIY Projection Screens.

The finished project. I have the room lights on and the camera flashed, so the screen is washed out, but in the right conditions, it’s really amazing.

Here is the reverse look. You can see the projector mounted to the ceiling in the top, somewhat to the left.

The projector is the Panasonic PT-AX200U
