final fan, take the cabinet out to the bonfire pit, get a tv stand! i should be awarded something for this idea. go for the 60" sony sxrd a2000. you can pick it up for real cheap now and its real sexy if you dont want to wall mount it.

hmmm, I sit at least 15-30 apples away from the TV. maybe more.

lol^^ I'd probably say 15 feet or so. so I think that's 45 apples? I can't remember.

Edit: That's pretty sweet, 120"? Is that like a projection thing? or a fancy HD type one? and where'd you get it?^^


It's a Epson 1080p 3LCD projector. It really didnt put me out that much, considering it to a 60' screen.

The projector, mount, wall (yes, I built a wall for it), Paint, And seats. (yes, I bought the best theater seating money can buy), and when you count my 900watt sony sound system...

I have about 8,000$ USD invested in my living room. That sounds like alot, but... screen/wall cost about 200$... Sound was about 400, projector, with 5year warrenty ON BULB. about 3,000...

Then the rest is the furniture. And Yes, it's AMAZING.

The resolution is on par with the new 'digital' movie theaters, and the contrast is... not quite as good. :P (but hey, it cost me under 3000 for the whole projector, the BULB for the projector I would like would cost about 5,000...

Overall, I now wait to watch movies on my screen, because BluRay's look better than movies do at the theater half the time... :D


 I'd die to play FF13 or MGS4 on that kind of setup.

 

 I had a 40 inch screen 1080p for a while, and I sat about 60 inches away.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

I've got racks for all the A/V stuff, huge drawers that were built for VHS, and shelves all over the wall.  It's built INTO the wall, I'd have to literally tear it out.  I'm not ready to do that yet since it's really nice to have all that.  I'm thinking about cutting a little extra space into the drawers so they can comfortably hold DVDs.  It currently holds about 320 VHS tapes, and as I recall tape sleeves are almost twice as thick as DVD cases.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
