Do people really still believe this?

I have a really small room....after I buy a new car this year and build a new PC I'm finding a nice apartment lol
How big is that TV? I have a 42 inch TV. That one looks bigger though.
I had a 42 but the one in the picture is a 60 inch
Not if you have it properly calibrated and remember to blink
Just finished up painting my projector screen and sorting out the border the other week. 140" diagonal image. Doesn't match my plasma in blacks (to be expected) but everything else is great. 1080P 3D projector hooked up to my gaming PC. Next upgrade is some nice Krix speakers.
(excuse the shitty ipad camera shot. Haven't gotten around to taking decent pictures with something being projected yet, mainly due not having a camera decent enough to do the experience justice)
Edit: Here's an old picture just projected onto a off white wall that gives a somewhat good indication of size albeit without a proper border and slightly skewed. I used black velcro as a border initially as a stop gap until I had everything mounted, painted and setup. The colors and contrast are a million times better now and the image completely square with a neutral 8.5 balanced grey screen is phenomenal to game on.

Is the PS4 vertical stand available in the US for purchase?

It's always a good idea to trust GAF and anecdotal evidence over the knowledge of medical professionals.
Only fatigue I get is when the air conditioning is on full blast and my eyes get dry and I game on a 140" screen.
Yeah but it's not made by Sony. I think Rocketfish makes it. It's licensed though.
I agree with that, I used to get eye strain on my work PC. Install F.lux, its a life saver.

Thanks for reminding me that I don't have flux installed for some stupid reason.
No worries, It really is a life saver for anyone who spends a lot of time on a computer.
Pretty neat, thanks
Is it good to go ahead with the default settings on this?
Up to you really, I have mine set to 3500K all day, every day at work. Really helps minimize eye strain. You can also set it to automatic but I prefer the 3500K for my daytime work monitor.
Feck it, posted in the ass-end of the last thread, may as well post here!
Sharp Aquos LC-50LE650E LED
Media PC (C2D E8400, 8GB, GeForce 9500GT, 3x 1TB HD's, Antec NSK-2480)
Logitech X-540 speakers
Wii
Wii U
XBox 360
SNES
We've got an extension cable running to the side of the couch, so we can hook our laptops up to it when in the living room. There's also a long USB cable with hub connected to the media pc so we can launch Steam in Big Picture Mode and play away. Also sitting there is a Wii U gamepad and wiimote charger, and for some reason my flatmate's laptop sitting precariously atop some graphic novels.
I have the same exact Logitech PC speakers as you, how did you hook it up to multiple devices?
Why would anyone work for Berlusconi?... No, I understand, economies have collapsed, people are desperate. I grew up in the US, but my father is from Italia. Don't think there are many big spaces available in the US. Most of the population in the US is poor/in debt (college and health care costs a lot of money in the US). Only a small percentage of people live like that. The US is the most unequal society in the western world.

are you sure that your screen is 140" when my screen is 135"? looks a little bit smaller on the photo. My screen is 300 by 169cm.
more pics on page 2. Maybe it's just the photo.
Beside that you can get much better black with darker walls and a good screen for your projector. A white wall is not the best solution. The gain is probably way under 1.0 which gives you a bad contrast on a white wall. The black level of my JVC X30 in my room on a gain 1.0 screen is much better than on every plasma. It also depends on the projector but you can get a much better picture with darker walls and a better screen.

Nothing has changed in the past 3 years, well the PS3 has gone and I'm borrowing an Xbox One.
Opened the blind for the first time in months to take the photo, had no idea what a dusty shit hole the room had become.
Won't those candles melt on top of the PS4?

WOOOOOOOOO Projector GAF unite!
I'll post up some of my old setup, since we had moved... I'm currently planning for the new space. I'll be doing it from scratch again...

How comfy is the Eames Chair? I was thinking about getting an homage of it, and I wanted to know how comfy it was before taking the plunge.
If anyone else has any input I'd love to hear as well.
Have a fair bit of cable management still to do, and my PJ is not permanently installed (old house, no power in the ceiling... long story), but I'll grab some photos later and chuck them in here. It's not a patch on those dedicated setups - I've too many compromises to allow such a thing - but it a decent example of what can be done in small space for little coin.

You didn't want to, know you, test it out at a store first?
It was going to be ordered and I couldn't find anywhere near me with that style of chair
Your setup is nice!
Yeah its hard to get a good picture to show its proper size but I have measured it, also I wish I had a decent camera. My blacks are great now. Before projecting onto an off white wall was just a stop gap until I got everything setup. I calculated my paint to be a N8.5 Black Widow screen before painting it. Mix was 960ml Vivid Matte White with 240ml Auto-Air Aluminium Base Fine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Widow_(paint_mix)).
They are soon to be my rear speakers, these should be on the way soon. Early days as just bought the house 4 months ago, still far too many boxes left unpacked. One day my home theater will be complete, one day!

IMO it looks better than it feels. I've tried it out for about ten minutes at one time. I have herniated lumbar discs so it wasn't for me. Definitely something you want to sit in for several minutes when trying it out....read a book or imagine yourself watching TV.

I'm mostly a retro gamer but this is the setup for my Xbox 360/Wii combo. I'll be replacing them with a PS4 and Wii U sometime this year.
Set: 40" Sharp Aquos
Surround sound via Sony 5.1 unit
Oh and yeah, that's a GameCube to the left.
Most of the time I play this.

Dude, it's amazing. I sleep in the thing all the time. It's incredibly comfortable and supportive. I can't speak to the homages of it, but I love my Eames chair. They just have great ergonomic design.

If I had something that comfortable my productivity would drop ten-fold. I would become a useless stump.

Goldeneye 64 :O Until now the probably most played game in my life. Multiplayer was so awesome!
one question: is the N64 running with HD components without any problems? For example the NES (Famicon) is not because no HD TV, AVR or projector can handle the low resolution...
@Shawsie64
Great Job! I see you thought about it instead of just painting it white.

My New Setup, Sorry for the poor lighting. I just got my new hdtv a few weeks ago, so nice, so much better then sd. PS4 and Wii are currently hooked up, the Wii games I keep in that Discgear case, its basically the Mario Party machine though.
My Old Setup from a few years ago, no longer in use, as I have moved and I have gotten rid of all the TV's. Sorry for the pic quality.

I think you should move your computer tower some where else. I think you might hit it on accident or an earthquake and it will fall on all your stuff.
