Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 8350 with 35 feet hdmi cable...
also got the ceiling mount.
screen na lang. :D

Ang ganda ng mga review nitong pj! I've also noticed that it has a lot of calibration controls. Looks like a great choice!

worth it for the price is still my impression up to now after watching a couple of flicks off a white bed sheet...hehehe.

naku brader, naghahanap pa ng pang order ng buhangin. :-\ :D

Thanks chief...this is actually my first hd projector so i hope i did make the right choice. Sabi nga ng wifey e baka daw mag upgrade naman ako kaagad. I just said that this will have to do until i build a bigger room...but it will be at a new house so medyo nag-iipon pa. :D

By the way, i also saw a fairly priced video calibration (spyder 3) over at B&H...is that even worth getting? What's your opinion? I'm not sure if you are familiar with it. Way out of budget na kasi yung iba.

Spyder 3 is supposed to be a big improvement over Spyder 2 though I'm really not sure how good it is and you still have to buy software.

Why don't you also look at www.curtpalme.com. They have a couple of very reasonably priced packages there. Take a look at the X-Rite EyeOne Display2 Pro with Chromapure.

Yup bro Luther...matagal ko pinag isipan yun...sayang kasi, madami na puede mabili dun sa price difference. And so that is exactly what i did...used the savings for other things like hdmi switcher and splitter, screen and ceiling mount. May sukli pa... ;D ;D ;D

I met this guy who is selling this screen at hometheater shack http://www.hometheatershack.com/...and since he is from the East Coast and I happen to be here now...well, yun nabitbit ng di oras. hehehe. ;D ;D ;D

I don't know if we can get this locally which is why i just decided to try it. He said that he literally compared the fabric being used by SMX and this one and they match. We'll see... ::) :D Lucky for me lang coz his home theater project did not push thru...ended up converting the proposed ht room into an office.

Anyway, I will end up shipping it by 'boat'...malalaman natin kung puede nga around January pa. :'(

Yep ok yan less clutter sa harap walang speakers na kita . . . in my case naman, nawalan ng silbi yung acoustic wall treatment sa front kasi natakpan na ng fixed screen. Ok sana kung perforated or ganyang material lusot pa din ang sound mag-benefit din mga rear-ported speakers.

Alvin, I've done some more research and it looks like the Spyder3 is really not recommended. The EyeOne is a much better option.

Thanks again for the heads up Chief! Buti na lang di ko pa nabibili yung Spyder3... :D

...kaya nga dapat talaga carefully planned ang room natin ano? either you'll save or spend more...im also thinking of a fixed screen.

I even saw projectors at a local craig's list..some good deals. Same with screens.

I just remembered our quick exchanges of PM's way back regarding the acoustic screen...I'll let you know how this one performs when I get it installed. The material I got is 9' X 36'...more than I would need. ;) :D

I'll build a house first Paul so the "new" HT room will take a loooong while but i'll most likely test on an 80-90" screen in my small room for now. It might even be as small as a 70" diagonal considering that my throw distance would only be a little over 10'.
