This is an in-progress home theatre. Thinking of putting maybe a shelf set-up behind the TV like many of you guys have.

I have black leather curtains that actually do a good job of blocking out the sun from the window.

Here's what it's like when no lights are on and the curtains are drawn.
The movie showing is "The Thing" HD-DVD.

So I'm thinking of adding shelves, more posters and memorabilia. I've got a sign displaying the DTS logo coming from eBay. Someone else on here had that and I was inspired!

SWG, you have a nice set-up there. Nice!

Star Wars Guy 01-30-07 01:42 PM

Thanks guys. The room is pretty small, and this was really the only way I could effectively set it up (with the exception of having a mounted pull down screen and ceiling mounting the projector, which we didn't want (and I won't get into all the details why.)

There is some set-up involved in watching a movie - put the dvd in, move the screen over, set the screen up, some minor adjusting of the image depending on the aspect ratio (if it was different than the last movie watched), but all that takes only a couple of minutes. I do that while the wife is making the popcorn and getting the drinks.

Like she says, it beats what I had before (32" sd-tv).

yeah, I know... I'm loser still with a standard TV... I just haven't decided on what flatscreen to get...

Sabrett 01-31-07 04:44 PM

TallGuyMe, even without the DVDs, I love that room! So nice...the DVDs are just icing on the cake.. :up:

It looks like your doggy wanted to get in the picture, too!

TGM 01-31-07 05:04 PM

Thanks Sabrett... here are a few more... the reason why there is no money for a flatscreen right now, is because we just went through a renovation of going from THIS:

I think it was money well spent. Very nice

Sabrett 01-31-07 05:23 PM

Very very nice! I'd give up a flatscreen for that room :up:

nateman 01-31-07 07:23 PM

Excuse my language TallMeGuy but fuck that is one nice room, im with Sabrett i would,well i dont have a flatscreen either but i would rather not have one over that nice room.
the before looked like shit but wow great Job!-you should be on a decorating show or something.
plus that tv looks nice in that room i would keep it and just keep building on your DVD collection.
it shows that any place can look great as long as you put some time and effort into it.
my place is decent but not as nice as that! when i pick up a new digital camara ill post pics.

^ Gee thats hilarious, really original. Never seen anything like this posted in the other 9 threads.

zombeaner 01-31-07 09:40 PM

I have no excuse for not having a flatscreen, this TV was free, and I'm poor. Once I graduate, I'm buying my dream system though. Something to work for...

madcougar 02-01-07 08:26 AM

I like guys who come in here and don't have to make their home systems a pissing contest. Thanks for sharing Scarface. Now let me just get into character... "Say 'ello to my little TV!"

TGM 02-01-07 08:30 AM

that tv is certainly old school... damn! I think Edith Bunker had that in her kitchen!

vcuram 02-01-07 02:46 PM

I love looking at everyone's setup. I figured I'd take some pics of mine (I'm by no means a decent photographer).

Awesome job. Question...where do you keep your clothes? Spare room?


I'm also very limited with money and space, so I envy you :)

JayDerek 02-02-07 07:49 AM

davethomasowns> nice setup!!!

where did you get those wall mounted lamps??? I love the lighting effect they give off on the wall...
