Depends how much i've got left when i'm all finished

(I'm estimating that i'm only going to use about half of it, so i'll have around 50 metres left possibly).

Cool well I'm in the market for the next 3-4 weeks. I'm probably after about 3x5m.

Any help on taking pics of a projected image is greatly appreciated, standing back it comes out blurry.

Thanks to easyrider for making the projector selection easy, ill no doubt upgrade it come xmas and bonus time to a full 1080p one.

set-up is:
TV - Sony KDL 20S2020
Amp - Onkyo Txsr307 A/V amp
Speakers - Energy Classic 5.1 speakers
Philips CDi player
Blu-ray - Sony BDP-300

Are those Energy Classic speakers any good? I keep seeing them pop up for next to nothing!

milkinc13 · 21 Jul 2009 at 21:11

to my untrained ear they are brill, huge set-up from the old Sony kit and the speakers that came with that. Only reason i got them as read good reviews on them + they look good which also helps

Managed to get some better shots of my optoma setup, just an old R1 DVD, 5 points if you know it

Swopped my 50 and 42" tv's around to let the projector breath a bit more.

I'll post up my settings.

That was the better one, my camera is really terrible.

Screen is next on the list, but im wondering whether it will really make that much difference over a matt wall.

Had to get a new TV unit to keep my 9 month old boys little fingers from pressing buttons and slapping the screen

Speaker Paint

Can I ask what paint you used to paint the front of your Alumni centre speaker, also did you just mask it or did you take the front panel off?
