Oh man. I’m a home theater installer for GeekSquad. I’m watching this video just like “oh, so that’s what’s professional home theater installer look like” lol way cooler than any I get to do
Very nice install my suggestion is to paint the air vents the same color of the ceiling so they don't stand out... I did that in my home theater it was distraction while the movie was playing... enjoy your beautiful theater...
The design is very very nice. However, I feel like cosmetics was the focus over an immersive cinema experience. I understand the limitations of this particular room, but that screen is rather on the small size for the viewing distance, especially for 16:9. Also, I don’t See much acoustic treatment, which limits the sound experience massively, even if you spend $25,000+ on speakers and electronics. Also. The white door and the poster on the wall right Next the screen will have light bounce around the room. It reduces contrast and makes the experience less immersive. I am really picky here, I know. This cinema you build will be more than what 95% of people will ever crave for, but I am just saying, what I think is missing.
You're not being picky. You're absolutely right on every point, and I just hope the installers at least tried to inform whoever spent a fortune on this setup just to have the resulting experience degraded.
You should have close the window to show how the system would be on a dark room. The door color should changed to match the wall. Pictures on right side wall should have non-reflective glass to avoid disturbance in full dark mode view. Great Job!
Great video but something that I would do differently (speaking as an electrician). Don't add the projector socket to the standard wiring, run it on its own circuit back to the board. Then protect that circuit with a cheap UPS ($80). If the power main fails chances are you will blow the lamp in the JVC if you have a power out as it has no cooling. If you do it as I described, the UPS will give you enough time to shut down the PJ without damage.. I do all my installs like this now as a lamp is $350.
I do not think there would be enough power spike in the electrical system to actually cause the projector to blow. Most electronics have the ability to deal with surges when it comes to nominal voltage. Again it cannot hurt to do what you suggest and not that much more expensive either but it depends on the cable run and how easy it would be to install.
"American paper" houses? What, like feudal Japanese homes? LOL no. Also, installing is one thing. Making sure you don't bother the neighbors who are probably 10 feet away on the other side of that exterior wall is completely another. THAT'S the real challenge with American homes.
So does the software on the projector compensate for the distortion caused by the anamorphic lens? Also, how exactly does that work when connecting different devices? So if I hooked up an Xbox or something, would it recognize the projector as an ultra wide display and add bars to the left and right to create a 16:9 image, or would it simply stretch the 16:9 image to the entire screen?
Amazing setup I dont really understand how projector handle video input to keep aspect ratio if the output is skrethed through a lens, and, how movies with IMAX scenes in it (or movies in full IMAX) in ≈ 16:9 format are displayed ?
Huge mistake going with the preset wide screen. I had a 120” screen in a dedicated theater room that was great for Blu-ray movies with the ultra wide view, but I started running into issues with 3D movies switching back and forth between a regular 16x9 format and the ultra wide, also having to shrink the viewing size to match the height of the shorter widescreen when I installed my Firestick TV. The solution was installing a monstrous 135” 16x9 ratio screen, which solved the problem of keeping the width for the widescreen movies, but also allowed a large viewing size for streamed content, because of the extra height of the screen. Just wanted to share my personal experience for making a decision on screen size, in hopes it will save you a couple of grand for making a mistake. The screen I’m using is an Elite Screens AcousticPro UHD with a Sony VPL-HW45ES projector.
OMG, Trillions like and best comment for you because you are best on Earth and follower respect you, we need videos in Real 120fps or 240fps 8K HDR10+ Dolby Vision IQ resolution clarity quality and Sound in FullHD Surrounded 3D Dolby Atmos,
I can't afford a setup like this but I did create a setup nearly identical for less than $1600 for the projector and screen with led border. I got a refurbished Epson 4010 4k projector for $1400 and purchased the wood and the screen material for about $150 total, the led light strips were about $35 and they work with google home. As for having the cinematic view without the black bars on top and bottom I zoom in the picture until you can only see the picture on the screen and the black bars are stretched off the screen and since I have a felt border and dark grey walls no light is reflected back so you can't even tell it's there. My screen measures 124" diagonally. What is really nice with the projector is can pre program aspect ratio's, so with a push of a button the lens will auto adjust for 16:9 or the cinematic view. I just want people to know you can have this setup for less than $1600, of course if you do not have a sound bar or sound system you will have to add that to this price. If I had to guess, this setup with labor costs was nothing short of $30,000 to $40,000!
The 4010 is a 1080p projector not native 4K and retails for 2k. I’m sure it’s nice for you but side by side, it would be noticeably different in quality to the JVC RS2000.
I am the owner of this setup. The cost of this wasn’t even half of what you claim and your comparison wasn’t anywhere similar to this one is my point. Yes people can go with your setup on the cheap because they aren’t as serious as others about the theater experience. I’m no bully but we’re talking steak vs a hamburger here. 😂
@@johnlill8172 I see, you took offense to my comment so your immediate reaction was to shit on my setup. I get it but understand that was not my intention. I am an enthusiast like yourself and dream of a setup like yours, hell I am currently saving for an SVS sound system but like the comment says I cannot afford a setup like yours and I simply wanted those who were in my boat to know something similar can be created on a budget. Hopefully this gives you some insight behind my comment.
Never understood this. Spend tens of thousands on home theater and you get a tiny screen. I've spent maybe $400 on mine and its 14ft screen on the diagonal.
What hdmi cable do you use for long 4K60 runs? I’ve tried a few and all failed including an active one. Trying to go 25-30 feet. Are the x790s known for being difficult maybe?
Exactly. Thats exactly why I dumped my front front projection rig when I moved at the turn of the year. The ht future is big OLEDs and they are only going to get bigger and cheaper. I’m waiting on the next few generations of the LG 86” 8k panel. And you don’t have to build a bat cave. You can put it in a real world room and get true black. Win - win. Front projection is becoming increasingly pointless. In 5 or 6 years it will be completely dead.
Love the 2.40:1 size screen, anyone who thinks the 1.78:1 size is good enough is deluding themselves. I know most DVD/BluRay is 16X9 but it is really easy to mask off the sides of the screen to fit, it's called curtains (Black velvet works nice). If you need to mask the top and bottom it is more difficult and you lose screen real estate.
Although I love the 2.40 aspect ratio, for practical reasons, when going with a fixed screen, I'd still go with a 16:9 (1.78) ratio to handle everything from 1.33 (or 1.37) classics to 1.85 (Academy ratio) to 2.35/2.40 and even 2.76 material. That's one of the reasons the ATSC chose 16:9 as the HDTV and now UHD (TV 4K) aspect ratio - it's a good compromise to look most pleasing for all of those formats.
With the available space above and below the screen for 1.78:1, I think its a waste to go 2.35:1. There is still alot more content in 1.78:1, and you end up reducing the size of that content for no real reason imo. If you have a room layout with more space on the sides then sure, but not like here. Great setup otherwise :D
Nonsense. Sure if you watch a lot of tv shows but for movie dedicated theaters as nature intended, scope is easily the best. There is no reason for Family Feud to be bigger than Lord of the Rings! Scope was always meant to be largest more immersive plus it allows you to place the center speaker closer to eat level without having to go with AT screens which have their own shortcoming
@@shaolin95 i have a 106" 1.77:1 screen with center speaker just below it. If my screen had been 2.35:1 the speaker could only have been like 6-7" higher. Would not even matter. And in this install the center is mounted even lower.. poor ppl when they go to watch justice league snyder cut ;)
Nice setup... my Panasonic projector automatically does anamorphic!😎🤙... I have yet to see any theater like mine!!! And it’s all designed and built by me!! Video coming soon!!! He should of painted those walls a darker color!!
dual sub a must if you spent that much . I have dual svs 16 and did a LFE buttkicker and its cool dont now how i lived without it . PB 3000 best bang for the buck
Very nice. Question. I'm building a similar setup. Does there need to be a cat5 cable connected to the rs2000 projector? I need to know that now before the room is built. Please advise.
Hmm, well I just wanted to get everyone’s opinion of who makes great sounding speakers. I have enough cash to spend, so I don’t need cheap or inexpensive crappy stuff. I am looking for a great quality Atmos type speaker set up, for a future finished basement. I live closest to Best Buy in Illinois, but if you would have any other suggestions of places I should visit, let me know. Please note: I am just trying to determine an expected budget for my home theater, at the present time. But I am looking for the best Atmos type speakers I can get, or as close to a Dolby Atmos cinema speaker set up, as I can. I should also note: I will be buying a tv, first, and maybe buy a projector when Dolby vision is possible in a projector.
with 85 inch TV's out and fairly cheap i think the days of projector setups are coming to an end. Projectors just can't compete with LED TV's picture quality!
Actually, it’s tough to setup 2 subs and have great sound in multiple spots. the bass waves cancel each other out and will sound quieter than 1 sub if not properly adjusted.
@@porsche911luv9 True, one has to know what they are doing with room eq, but when dialed in, it is Magic! Everyone that has been to my home to see and hear my setup have all said it's just like being at the movies. But it does take time and work, you are correct. Have a good 911! Luv the name bro👍
Paying people to build your theater is for rich people who don’t want to enjoy doing it themselves. It’s way more fun experiencing doing it yourself. You feel way more excited and a sense of accomplishment when you’re done.
Why an amorphing lens on this projector? It wan‘t be supported with the new firmware 3.5. The projector is very bright in 4k nativ mode. You can switch to zoom mode to get it even brighter.
It’s the only way to get true 4K on a CinemaScope screen. Unless your projector puts out a native 2.35 or 2.39 aspect ratio which only a few extremely pricey projectors do you are getting less than 3k quality due to the black bars and having to zoom.
Nice but my fav movies are older ones so like 16:9 screen. Got my JVC 2000 from Zach last year, every nite is movie time. Use Towers with subs in bat cave
My favorite set up is a plasma screen and normal DVD's as that is most of my collection. And it is my reference system above my dedicated projector home theatre.
@@karthikakash7068 pfft! $250?? Are you high? Seriously, do neither of you know how to use Google? That projector alone is like $9,000. That screen can't have been cheap either, not to mention all the other components. $250! Lol Also, why TF would you have a 6-channel stereo setup in a home theater? You really have no clue what you're talking about, do you? Your answer is like me looking at a guy's brand new Mercedes and saying, "damn, what would it cost me to get a car like this?" and some random fuckwit coming along and saying, "oh you can get a decent Kia Sorento for around $2,500"
I have a hd multimedia projector but everytime I put a movie on I can see it on the screen and the walls but I don't know if I need a different screen are not but what càn I do to fix this
The first thing I will make sure when I setup my Home Theater is that there should be no backlight at the background of the TV. I never saw a cinema with a background light.
