marcusaaron79 Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I just bought a new house with vaulted ceilings, and I've had an InFocus DLP projector home theater with a 120 inch screen in my old apartment. I was planning on putting it in my new house, but I don't want to just mount a plain pull-down screen on the wall like I did in my apartment. I plan on runnning the wires either under the floors or in the walls to have them hidden. Anyone here have a projector home theater? I have a nice house, and I was looking for a cheap way to mount my screen without it looking rigged up. A huge 120 inch white screen looks pretty cheap during the daytime when it's off. I had thought about getting two bookcases with shelves and put a long piece of finished wood across to connect the bookcases to make a cheap entertainment center. And then, have a regular tv stand and have the projector screen pull down in front of the regular tv when I was going to watch movies. Websites and pictures would be great. Was trying to do it cheap, but not look cheap. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusaaron79 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Maybe something like this, and just lengthen the center piece to fit the length of the projector screen so it can pull down in front of my existing TV that I will put on a TV stand in the middle.

What are you planning on spending? Da-Lite makes a ton of good screens. Da-Lite Screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakystiffler21 Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've got a projector home theater system, beats the hell outta paying arm+leg for rear projection big screen that looks like crap. I got some screen material off ebay and made a permanent screen that looks like a big picture and mounted it on the wall. looks very professional when its turned off even though that a very rare occurance. dalite and several other companies make electric screen that can retract out of sight when not in use, then run 200-1000$ and usually limit your screen size to around 100 inches.

supersub Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 they seem to work best in a room that you can control ambieant light,do you have a basement.If so then you can move on to this. use the one downstairs for the really good ones and the one upstairs when you are too tired.
