Everybody drool over my Christmas present.

[Orange_Crush]

I just bought it.

An Infocus Screenplay 5000 HDTV projector and 106" screen

I won't be watching the SUperbowl...I'll practically be standing on the sidelines.

Drool ya jealous bastards...DROOL! (unless you have a better setup...in that case, I don't wanna hear about it).

[Arthu®]

I don't remember that being on your list? Oh and I have no idea wtf you are talking about. Show some pics...

EDIT: Is it as good as an ten minute orgasm or better?

[4402tuff4u]

hhhhmmm! Is she blonde, red or brunette?

[greenpigs]

This sounds like a Drache post, just change the word HDTV to Charger.

[golden73]

That sounds awesome, but I also have no idea what you are talking about. Pics!!!

[Orange_Crush]

Okay...tough to post a pic because all you'll see is a projector and a screen.

The projector works like a TV, but instead of having a screen it will project the image onto a 100 inch screen.

Think of it as having a 100" widescreen high def TV.

Awesome. Sounds expensive though. How much do these systems run for?

You'd think, but the price is actually less than a decent quality Sony projection 62" TV.

I'm paying 999 bucks for the projector (after a 300.00 rebate), 300 bucks for the ceiling mount kit, and 600 bucks for the screen putting me under two grand.

I have all the other home theater equipment.

Yeah...except for one difference...but I can afford an HDTV.

The Wife and I just bought our X-mas present Tuesday.     50 inch wide screen.   My @$$ is still sore but the wife is happy.....for now.     I just figured out tonight that I can plug my computer into this sucker, w00t,   With the surround sound and the Call of Duty 2 video game, the neighbors are going to think we are being invaded !

Hey OC,

How long did it take to pick out a TV you liked? About 10 years ago I had a tough time finding a TV I liked, but had no choice. The old one, a very old one which I still have, was losing it's clarity in the corners of the screen. It's just TV, so I didn't care what I was looking at as long as I knew what the picture was. Movies are movies, shows are shows & it wasn't a big deal to me. The only thing that sucks watching on it is baseball since the score & count is usually too blurry to see where it's posted in the corner of the screen.  

It was my wife's TV from before we met over 20 years ago, a floor standing RCA with a lazy-susan turntable in it. I don't know how long she had it, but it was a color model, not black & white like the one I had, so it wasn't too old. She never watches TV so she didn't care about it, but the bigger problem we were having was the sound. The crappy little speaker must have dried up, & the contacts on the volume knob stopped working. We looked at a few TV sets, but couldn't make up our minds what we liked or wanted.  

In the meantime, I had a small receiver from Radio Shack that I bought for a spare room that had a TV tuner in it. I hooked it into a pair of speakers & ran the coaxial cable from the satellite dish to it. I also had wires everywhere & had to turn on a bunch of different stuff to watch & hear TV. It actually sounded really good, so we used it & stopped shopping for a TV. When the Radio Shack receiver died, we went looking for a TV again. We still didn't see anything except a junky home theater in a box set up for $75 in a store going out of business. I bought that & got a few more years on the old set, but my wife never figured out how to turn all the stuff on.

Once my daughter was old enough to work the remotes & figure out how to turn all the equipment on, which was faster than my wife, she took charge of it. After watching & tolerating way too many episodes of Barney, Teletubbies & whatever else my daughter wanted to watch, we went shopping for a TV again to save out minds. Found a nice 42" Toshiba projection TV that's HDTV ready. So now if my wife watches it, goes to sleep in front of a good TV set. My daughter watches it the rest of the time it's on, & I'm stuck watching the old RCA that's hotwired into a set up I'm afraid to disconnect because I'll never remember how to reconnect it.

If you and Sublime turn your TV's real loud......   we will all be able to see it.

Cool setup, OC.

How many sacks, I mean backs, did you have shave to get that for Christmas.

  Shaving backs & sacks? I bet if he gets his wife to video tape the action & play it back on a screen that big, it might look like a naked mole rat lost in the Black Forest.

ya good setup, good for you
