Few more years then she will probably make it threw A movie . Amp first though

We have the same projector and I use a 92" 16:9 manual screen, plus I use Polks (not as well as yours) and I also have a Buttkicker! Nice steals you got there for some of your goods (no pun intended... )

I think the PQ on this projector (with good light control, which I have and I see you have as well) looks awesome too.

Tell me more about the masks you use and how you made them? How big is the picture for 2.35:1 movies then?

Yes, I watch TV programming on the LCD behind it. I don't have a dedicated space like yourself, so mine has to function as both my HT and the family room.

I went to Meijers.com and could only find gaming chairs for not less that $80

Where did you find it for $35 shipped?

Scroll down to the bottom...I found them as well vega.

If there is a meijer by your house wait it out until they are on sale. there is a big lots by my house that also carries some that are similar for about $25, but those feel very cheap and are very uncomfortable (do not recommend). Good luck!

$187 for me !

I think I will pass! Shipping costs as much as the chairs!

My screen is a fixed frame wich allows for some type of modification to add masks. I have not seen anyone come up with a mask system for manual pull down screens, but i hope someone comes up with something beacause those pull downs are convenient and popular for living rooms etc..

Fors* · 02-19-2010, 05:48 PM

I have ideas, but I thought I would ask for add'l info. If you look in my gallery, I already have the sides taken care of. I could place a portable top valance made with curtain rods for the top part of the screen, as it could hang there. Then I was thinking of an easy to move section that involves curtains as well that will hang with a top bar across the top, and that I could wheel up to the bottom of the screen. The curtain hanging would need to be thin enough to allow my remote to continue to work, as my gear would be behind it, under the screen. I think it could be done if it was thought out. And of course, my picture would be a bit smaller as well, but it would aesthetically a lot better.

yeah I have to pass too... these are definitely the nicest ones i've seen, most of the other 'gaming chairs' are really tacky looking or really expensive

FYI guys...i have one of those video game chairs and my wife got it at Target for $28.99. You can see it in some of my HT pics next to the popcorn maker.
