So at the new house I am going to build a man cave and I am wondering if I should go for a big LCD or an HD projector. I would like to stay below $2500 for the TV or projector. There are no windows in the room so light will not be an issue at all. What to do RC!
Once it is framed and such I will have about 10 feet of wall space to work with. What is the price range on a HD projector now-a-days?
Buy this TV/thread. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0770HDS0010112438&logon=&langid=EN
Well it is going to be a studio viewing room/media room for us...so it will be all taken care of through the business. It was cleared when we bought the house
Buy the Panasonic PT-AE3000 HD projector. I picked mine up for ~$2800 tax in and it blows me away every time I use it. Its unreal. I will never own a tv over a projector for the mancave again.
This is relevant to my interests. This room probably won't be up and running till the fall but I have a nice blank canvas in the unfinished area of the basement to work with. I am thinking projector is a good idea
definitely a good idea. When you're working with a dedicated room, a projector just makes sense. No TV will be big enough.
Let me know when you start procuring. I can give you the down low on lots of goodies at a decent price.
Run all the cables you'll ever need and then some before you put the drywall up. HDMI, Component, S-video, speaker wires for up the 7 speakers. Do it all. Anything you think you MIGHT use, run it.
I'd go projector as well - just ensure you do the math and can put the projector back far enough to actually be able to generate the picture size you want. When I set up my cave, I looked at both, but the projector would only give me about the same size screen as the LCD I picked up because of room size constraints.
Most decent HD projectors have zoom and vertical/horizontal shifting. I just picked a spot on the ceiling that looked symmetrical and adjusted the image afterwards. I can do anything from 60" to 200" from the location I mounted it at.
projector set up would rock or this tv http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pr...770HDS0010106338&catid=23526&logon=&langid=EN best HD tv you can get for $2500 hands down
