Mom installs 98-inch screen in son's bedroom ceiling, deservedly garners award nomination


Thought you had it all set with a 14-inch TV and an NES in your room as a kid? Then you might want to look away for a minute, lest your childhood memories be diminished. Everyone else can take a good look at this 98-inch screen that Patti Deni had installed flush in the ceiling of her son's bedroom. At the center of the setup is an NEC projector paired with some Draper projection mirrors, which fills that 98-inch StarGlas60 display with some full HD images than can be viewed from just about any angle. As you might expect, however, this wasn't exactly the easiest of installs, and apparently even involved reframing and reinforcing the ceiling. No word on any mom of the year awards just yet, but the setup itself has at least attracted the attention of Electronic House's Home of the Year awards.

That would be uncomfortable.

Still, if you have money you can do a lot of crazy things with it. Some wealthy people have mini-cinemas in their house for example.

I can't understand why you would do this unless the kid is disabled or something. Then it would be really cool, as he may be bedridden. But without enough information, I'm classifying this one as overkill.

You're just jealous because all you got was a 42" in your ceiling.



^ Nordlead is lucky then. I'm still having to put up with 38" shit in my ceiling... And it's a fucking JVC so the quality is crap... Also, this caviar is far too salty.

What are you talking about. I've never had a TV in my room, let alone a 42"

(as a real note, I've never wanted one in my room either)

Justifying yourself since you've never had one to begin with so you don't feel bad.
