welcome to a whole new world of viewing pleasure

it'll be a little more immersive with your sounds coming through the screen if you go AT

CRMA · 04-22-2009, 03:40 AM

bhampton · 04-22-2009, 09:15 AM

Congrats to U. Let us see some pictures now

Congrat for you're buy. BTW wash the filter more than often on this unit. It's a little more 'prone' to dust blob than other brand. Personnally i dust it when i clean my HT, once each 2 week. Other that than it's a great device. One of the best projector i've own for sure..

Congrads Snowball! Welcome to the wonderful world of front projection. I've had my Epson Powerlite 1080 and 150" Elite Screen for almost 2 years now and it's the best purhase I ever made, and believe me being an audio/video nut, I have bought alot of gear in my lifetime. Blu-rays look so fantastic on them, much more film-like than other sets. My latest pleasure: The South Pacific Blu-ray-WOW, best release (sound AND picture) of a classic...EVER!

snowball_iv · 04-22-2009, 06:10 PM

Thanks everyone. Ya i am still looking into going AT or not. I will put some pictures up soon. I have to wait for my cousin to get back with the camera, I want to install the frame first also.

It's always an exciting and memorable day when the projector arrives! Have fun with it!!

Enjoy!

snowball_iv · 05-10-2009, 03:57 AM

So i would say i am about 80% complete with setting everything up. But i thought i would throw some pictures on here for you.

Hope they are ok.

bhampton · 05-10-2009, 06:27 PM

I need different web filtering software.... I can't see them.

It blocks stuff it shouldn't... bummer....

Anyway,.. Hope you're happy with the pj... they can be lots of fun.

Great pics snowball! I watched the IRON MAN bluray a couple of weeks ago on my Panny 3000 and it was just fantastic. Better than the theater I saw it in. Hope you're loving it!

Crap. Imageshack is too slow to load for me. Hope you are happy with your purchase.

The dimension's are height 50" and width 120" and diagonal 130" in 2.40 ratio. And i think it is 105" diagonal in 16:9 ratio. It pretty much fills my entire wall. If imageshack is taking to long take a look in my HT Gallery.

Another_Dude · 05-11-2009, 04:38 AM

heh, I got my PT-AE3000U yesterday. Simply amazing.

bhampton · 05-11-2009, 09:22 AM

Checking the gallery worked for me.

(Sort of miss the brit pic though.)

Great job on the DIY screen... Nice looking Pj mount,... Screenshots are off the hook fantastic.

I've got Panny AE3000's on the brain!

I have to wait until mid June to order mine - long story. (Not financial)

O yeah, where did you order your screen? Good Deal?

The gallery works better! I guess you still haven't really fine tuned the PJ's zoom-in function to get as close to the edges as possible. I see some things that are blocking the light path on the lower corners. How's the memory zoom function working out for you?

I guess the next step is to upgrade your receiver.
