Projection Screen Adjustment

[Badas]

I just had a brain wave. Actually last weekend.

I have always loved my setup. It is a lot of fun and out performs any cinema in my area.

However the fuss gene in me has had just one pet hate and I always believe in getting things perfect.

I get a bit of a distraction from reflected light on to my speakers from my projection screen. See below.



It is not distracting in bright scenes. Because the image is sooooooo bright you don't notice it on the speakers. However on some dark scenes it becomes a little distracting.

So my idea was. What if the screen was in front of the Center Channel? What a bloody great idea.




NOTE: Black felt on Center Channel to stop reflection

No reflection of Center Channel
No reflection of Main Speakers
Screen will be closer so bigger ratio. I will now sit at 1:1 image width back (same distance from screen as it's width) BIG.
No line of sight to the two silver IR remote senders in wall. One for rack, One for Remote lighting.
The picture will just appear to be floating in the room.

So how do I do that????

Well I'm going to do this.
I'm going to get made 2x wooden Cube shelf units that are going to be mounted on the wall behind the screen. Like this:


Photo taken on an angle. They will be cubes not a triangle looking thing above.

The screen will be then mounted on these cubes. Which will put the screen in front of all speakers. The cube shelves will not be seen from sitting position, they will be located right behind. They are going to be open backed and I am going to install two lights behind the screen so it shines through them also on the floor. Control will be rigged to the remote lighting.
The cubes will also act as extra storage for Blu-ray Collectibles, Manuals and Remotes.

What do you think?

I will keep posting as the project moves along.
