"now showing" dvd display stand...
 

i'm not sure where on the site to post this, i've seen numerous of our members have something similar to these in the "i wanna see your collection and ht" thread and would really like to get one. i did a google search and found this one, and i'm thinking about getting it, but was hoping to find something a little cheaper.

thanks.

I made my own using those mini-easels you can get at Ikea. I painted it black and made a "Now Showing" sticker with a P-Touch.

Worked like a charm.


Total package was like 3 or 4 bucks.

:up: I've been using these for years. At $0.99 they can't be beat. I use one to display my "now showing" DVD and 2-3 others on the shelves to display my current treasures. I never thought about painting them black, I may try that (or dark red).

My wife got me that and also the one that says "Coming Soon" for Xmas last year and they sit nicely on top of our TV with a constand rotation of DVD's.

I like the light up display but $70 is a tad too much for something to collect dust and look pretty. I have the metal Now Playing stand and its great.

That's basically what I did too.

My "Now Showing" sign was printed in large Broadway font on photo paper glued to a small piece of cardboard. It's reversible and the other side says "Coming Soon" for between movies.

The most expensive part of this project was the paint, which I spent $2 on. :)

Yeah, those easels kick ass. I spent more on a can of paint and some gloss than the easel itself. Great way to go!

Thanks everyone.

Thats what I use, maybe I will paint one to see if I like it that way. Thanks for the idea.

I'm another that uses these to display some of my DVDs, although I didn't care for the height of it so I cut them down a bit, as well as the top so you wouldn't see the top sticking out over the DVD case. I haven't painted them, but now you got me thinking about it.

I like this alot...especially with the Broadway font. Do you have a close-up?

I just got an $80 a week raise and decided to splurge on the light up stand since my girlfriend likes it and will go well with our red color motiff for our home theatre. It will arrive on Tuesday. Hope it was worth the $$$ or its going right back.

How much was it?

I found it for $54 on some sites. Its usually like $65-70. A tad much compared to the $30 non glowing metal stand I purcahsed a few years ago.

Cool, let us know what it looks like when you get it.

No prob. Ill post some pics if i decide to keep it. Hoping for the best. I think its pretty neat.

i bought black easels at Micheal's arts and crafts if anyone is looking for one that they don't want to paint.

Please tell me that's not your permanent speaker installation.

I like how you have the DLP advertisement on there. At least it's a nice little sign. Do people keep the stickers on their TV? The ones off the screen, that talk about 1080P resomolutions and Sensurround(tm) Audio and stuff like that. I hate those.

Got the new display stand last night. Need to take pics still. It is okay, it definitely isnt the best thing in the world but not the worst. My GF loves it but i think its just a little too much. Definitely looks better w/ a black backing on it instead of being see thru.
