Spoiler!


Most of the home theatre is operational. Here's a picture of the arm as it currently sits. Ignore the patch job on the wall. I had to move the arm up and over because the original placement was slightly off centre and too low to get the picture framed up nicely on the screen without keystone. As it is now we have it nearly perfectly filling the screen with 0 keystone. Spoiler for size.

Can post some more pictures as soon as we get the room tidied up a bit. Still finalizing some stuff. Watched Mad Max: Fury Road as our first movie in there. Blew our socks off.

Next step for me is figuring out how we want to control everything. The equipment is located in a closest behind us so for now we're just reaching backwards with the remotes with the door open. Have some provisions in place to do control with IR extenders, but open to suggestions.

Here are a couple pics of the screen with a still from Mad Max. One has the main overhead light on that's literally 6 inches in front of the projector, other with all lights off.
