I really love your TRUE DIY theater. Plus being a Disney Member as well, this theater hits home. Only thing I would add is sound panels. Just love it, keep up the good work.

I’m a big fan of the DIY home theater. Lets everyone know that you can use your own creativity, not break the bank and have a nice big screen theater experience at home. Pat yourself on the back. Nice job. I have the single row of seating in my home theater also which gives everyone a good seat to watch the movie. Decorations make the room look comfortable. Good work.

I was confused at first with the windows, but that automatic blackout curtain is essential!! This is one of the coolest home theater setups I’ve seen!!!

[chrisduncan]

It looks excellent. The dark walls make such a massive difference for contrast. I setup a theater in my guest house and painted the ceiling black and the walls dark purple. It made a big difference. Also that is a really creative way to mount your projector. Very nice.

I like your idea for mounting the projector. I think I'm going to steal that for something I'm doing

Good job, great video!! I got a Benq Ht2060 and it looks amazing too.

[Drell]

That’s a good looking theater room. I would recommend putting up acoustic panels to help with any reflections or echoes. If you’re a DIYer they’re easy and cheap to make. Otherwise nice job.

Had a 3550i thru my house some years ago. Loved the color and the 4K but was somewhat critical in my review over its light output— and that was new. I like a nice bright image— especially for HDR. I’d go with an LED or laser model next. Fitting to your mount I’d go with the BenQ X3100i or BenQ HT4550i. You could also fit a TK710 laser model but haven’t reviewed that one. The X3100i is their gaming line but it works just fine for movies. Great brightness, good contrast, excellent color. Both will be more than bright enough to drive a 120” screen— that’s what I ran and kept both in their low power modes.

Probably the best DIY theater in all of Mineral county.

Nice! The BenQ projector is great. I have the ht4550, LED light source. I recommend just staying with BenQ and getting a newer model, perhaps when the 5550 comes out in a few years.

Hi there! Great to see something built on a normal persons budget. My theater has been a 20 year evolution. I just wanted to let you know there is a good theater in Salida, it's in my basement! If you are ever over this way you and your family have a standing invitation to stop by for a movie or two. I don't know how to get you my contact info on such a public forum. I don't do Facebook. I will check with my tech savy nephew on how to do it.
I love your setup and bet you guys enjoy it!

I think the one thing people want to know when watching home theater videos is the room dimensions. I am not sure if you mentioned that, but I missed it. Another thing is how far are the seats from the screen.

[sprroach]

Very nice!
Could you run wire through the ceiling instead of the chase?

[kabrandt]

Cool space but Im not a fan of all the figures and stuff. I kinda think all of that should be in an entry way and not in the actual theater room...just my opinion.

[russye]

im confused why u dont use ur blu rays they will make ur theater sound insanely better then streaming since audio is very comrpessed on streaming

[jbmatthewz]

I love to see people use odd shaped small spaces as home theaters and you did an excellent job but I have a question, you’re using your LCR soundstage behind the screen so that means your screen is an acoustically transparent screen correct?? Because I didn’t hear you say that that screen was an Audio pass through screen.

[garyharper]

You need to dust, heat and dirt kills electronics.

[Jayschristian]

Cool video, I am into home theater as well and live in Colorado Springs. Are you a part of the Colorado home theater enthusiast Facebook group?

[Everydaymancinemaroom]

Nice room, your room looks awkward as mine is
