Default My new home theater

It's almost done...finally. We just have to put the final painting on the wall we're projecting on to, but it's good enough to watch stuff on as it is. The image in high-def is about 9 feet across, a little over 5 feet high. It looks great. I went a little cheap on the projector, only got a 720. I just couldn't justify paying another $1000 for the 1080 when the 720 is totally acceptable. I also only got a very basic sound system. The room is so small it doesn't need anything too great. But sports look great on it. Can't wait for football season.

I took some pictures, but just with my phone, so they don't look great. It's much better in person.

I just got my home theater, but it isn't that cool. I'm still having fun with it though.
