I know what you mean about replays. All week I can see the replays on NFL network of my Falcons giving away the game But yeah I know what you mean, at least you can kill some time on the forum.

Look at the bright side...you could be the only remaining winless team in the NFL!

So Very,Very True.
Or one of the 3 or more Teams with Only 1 win.

At least you aren't like the Lions. 1-22 over the last season and the first part of this Season.I would say how could a Team be That Bad and Then I Look at the Raiders and The Draft Picks they wasted.

Bey as the 1st receiver taken in the draft.I think he may have just got to 10 receptions for the year.How they could pass over Crabtree or Even Nix from UNC to the Giants I will Never Know.

A Few Gallery Pics of The Beginning Stages of My System....Please Leave All Laughter To A Minimum...

[talstarone]

A Few SHEET-Shots.Warning :The Image You See On Your Monitor Screen Looks Completely Different From The Images Seen on the Sheet While The Blu-Ray Disc Is Playing.I Need A Lot Of Practice And A Better Camera To Get Pictures That Even Remotely Look As Good As They Do In Real Life/

And With These Images,Feel Free To Laugh As Much As Needed...

[^Lestat^]

Goodmorning and great pics by the way and they are not laughable in any way. Color actually looks really good. So how was sleep.

if you're going to put up a sheet to project onto..... at least iron it


Looks like it's coming along quite nicely though.... can't wait to see the updates!

Beta,Thanks For The Kind Words.My Friend .

And I hate to Say It,But Me and Irons Dont Go Together.
I Actually hoped the wrinkles would fall out from hanging there,but they didn't.

But for Now I will Leave it as Is.I ordered my Screen and Mounting Brackets Yesterday.So by this time Next Week I Hope the sheet is in the washer and the screen is up and Wrinkle Free.

I just wish the Sheet-Shots Turned out as Good as They Looked in Person.But we are talking about a $4.00 Wal Mart Sheet Here.

Hi Lestat ,my Friend .

Sleep was as Good as Every Night.With the meds I'm on, Deep REM Sleep is a Given Every Afternoon and Early Evening.

And I was able to Order the Screen and Mounting Brackets Yesterday.So if all goes well I will be talikg the sheet down and hanging up the screen Early next week.
But I will have the Entire Wall Behind the Screen Covered With Black Curtains.So when you look at the Screen all you will see around it,is black Fabric.Should Help the Black Levels and Contrast as Well.

So how are things going for you,my Friend.Getting any closer to making any upgrades to your system?


EDIT: I Forgot about the Projectors Colors.
They are Amazing.In Person I have Never Seen Colors So True And Vibrant.And to be on a sheet it really Surprised me.

But I Bought the Projector from Big Daddy.And he had the Projector Callibrated.So I would Imagine that Is Why the Colors Are Pretty True to Life.
But I will be Able to tell Much Better when I am Casting the Image on a Real Screen.

Hi DMC,my Friend.Nice to See you around these Parts .

Hope you are Having a Great Evening/Morning.

It was Geology Nut who ordered the Black Diamond Screen.Even at the Incredible Sale Price He Paid for that Screen,I couldn't afford to put about a $1000.00 for a Screen On Sale.

I did order a screen Yesterday.But its the same model Forsberg has in his Home Theater Room.Except he had enough distance between the projector and screen to get a 92 inch Image.

In my 10 X 10 room all I can manage is @80 to 82 inch Image.But the Smallest Widescreen they have in that Series from Elite Screens is an 84 inch Model.So that what I ended up ordering.
So I may have about an inch on each side at the very edge thats white.But I have a feeling it wont be Noticeable.

But Geology Nut's Screen looks just like a 120 inch Plasma when its turned off.I have Never Seen a Screen Like that but 2 or 3 times before.

He will have the $hi^ when the Panasonic 100p Projector Gets here.

Thank You,Mike My Friend .

I didn't start the Thread until about 4:30 Am Yesterday Morning. And I didn't see you on the Forum yesterday,So I haven't had a chance to let you know.

I wasn't going to start until I get the New Screen,the Room Painted,and my Cables Organized.But I figured if I showed it like it looks now,it will look like more progress when I do get the room painted,New Screen Hung,and the Wires and Cables taken care Of.

Besides I had to post it sooner or later,no matter how it did look.

I was wondering if you had a chance to remove the Enormous Cabinet you had on that main Wall in you Living Room.

I know it will probably take some time.Since you will have to co-ordinate setting up the moving with getting several individuals over there to try to move that Massive Monument of Wood.

Its great you stopped in.Any time you feel like it just stop on by.
You are always welcomed here.

Going to Taipei this weekend to buy new AVR and a stand that brings the center's tweeter to the same level as fronts. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I'm in a new town now, and don't have a lot of peps to ask for help moving furniture. Could ask my wife's dad, think he is 65.

Thats the exact same age My Dad is.
He can move furniture like you wouldn't believe.But he still lifts weights and Works Out,Daily.
Also takes all of his Vitamins and Drinks Protein Shakes daily as well.So he is kind of an exception for someone 65 years old.

I am thrilled that you are Getting a New AV Receiver.What Brand and Model are you Going to go Pick Up ?
And getting a New A/V Rack to Put your center's tweeter near ear level will really make a big difference in the Audio Performance of your System.

I am excited for you in getting a chance to make an upgrade like this.It would make me feel like a Kid at Christmas.

I do hope things work out in moving the Furniture.I know you are in a new town and need help moving some furniture.Maybe your Wife's Father may know some people you could ask.

Maybe work out a deal with them and buy them some lunch and provide some drinks.Invite them over for a Movie when everything is set up for the New Receiver.

Or find someone you can pay $20.00 or so to help you move the furniture.But you can see if your Father-In-Law is willing and able to move this furniture.

I hope it works out for you the best it can.But it seems when you have problems like this they tend to work themselves out.
So just keep thinking Positive and what Great things you are Getting Today.

To be honest I didn't think I would get hardly any posts.

I havent even been on the thread for 7 months yet.And I dont really know a lot of people on here.But the ones I do know,I know pretty well so I guess that helped.

I told Forsberg when he noticed the Thread I would look weeks later and still only have 3 pages total(and I would have done amost ALL the Posting).But Blu-Ray.com is like a Family,so to speak.Everyone seems to look after everyone else.So I think that Really Helped a lot as well.

I have treated people like I wanted to be treated and I think that strikes a good chord with most of the members.

I will just say,I an Extremely Honored to Have had as Many Dfferent Members wish me well and post on the Opening Day of my Thread.It has indeed been an Enormous Blessing in joining this Incredible Forum.

You deserve it Todd. You have been a good friend and member on this forum and everyone you have met has had the pleasure of your company. This would not be the forum it is today if we didnt have more members like you. I have only been on this forum for under half a year and all you guys have been a tremendus help and very good friends. I am proud to know all of you.




Ok where is my twenty bucks. LOL

Awesome Analogy,Lestat.That makes it sound quite respectable,to say the Least.

But its been Great Members and Awesome Friends,such as Yourself to help me keep this Thread Moving.
I am not really too worried about posts and pages(I mean dont get me wrong they are nice.And let me know how people feel about and towards me)

But if its a place people can come and talk about their systems.There upgrades and their Dreams,and what they do and dont like about different products and Movies.
Like the Title Says,I want this Thread to be a Place where Anyone can visit(And Everyone is Welcomed)and talk about anything thats on their mind(as long as its not offensive or be-littles any other member)

I would like to see it become a Home Away from Home to anyone wanting to go somewhere and just spend some time shooting the $hi^.
