I was quite impressed with mine, until I went over to a friend I met on avforums called Mark where he's been building his "bat barn" for the last year.

If anyone's interested, here's a short snippet of the footage taken (I ended up as a cameraman on that day!) YouTube - Grand AV Designs, The Bat Barn

So it's given me some thought of the requirements of my next house / :o

What's your setup?

Dunno, I think the answer is attached to that mains flex I'm still waiting for. I'll let you know when it arrives

Big fan here and I'd previously been watching the bat barn build on AVforums - its one of my all time favourites

My main setup consists of:

50" Full HD Panny Plasma
Yamaha RX-3800 receiver
Yamaha 2700 upscaling DVD player
KEF 3005.2 SE's
Panasonic BD30 bluray player
Virgin V+
Sony PS3
Nintendo Wii

In my next build I want it running via an HD projector for a six foot wide image

I'll be shocked? That'll be a very long cable if it's still connected to the mains at your end

Cheers

Just a little bump.

I'll admit I don't have this at home, but I did have a chance to play with some toys at work the other day.....

The high-tech source device



Now we get serious. The lens isn't mounted here, but you can see the sensor behind the glass section.

This is the T110 projector with a native 4k resolution - the SXRD sensor has a resolution of 4096x2160 pixels. The amount of light going through that is just, well, blinding!




The beast - my next home cinema upgrade.....



A few sample shots - the screen is about 6m wide.





closeup of the second:



I have to admit, the picture these devices throw puts my local multiplex to shame. It's also really apparent when you have such a large picture of any compression artefacts or bad mastering. Cars is pretty much the best quality blu-ray I have to date, and whilst if you pause it and look really close, you can see some mosquito noise and what not, but at a normal viewing distance and during the action, it's just sublime

Shame about the cost though - both to buy and also run. If you use it at its full brightness, it's over 5kW of power

But on second thoughts, I could leave the centreal heating off over winter the projector chucks out so much heat!
