So I figured I'd finally put up some pics of my set up. It was my summer project and now it's winter. Oops.

Projector: Optpma GT720
-Short throw as I have limited space. I get a beautiful 92" image from less than 6 feet. As you can tell by the pics, a drop in the ceiling limits the placement so I needed a short throw projector. I am blown away by the quality of the image. Even on full bright with my lights and without the screen pulled down, the image on the wall is crisp and clear, just distorted due to the paint color. I give this projector a 6 out of 5. Amazing. For $800, it's a wonder more people don't have them.

Sound System: Samsung Somthingorother
-Could really use a real sound system, but as I'm in a townhouse it hardly seems prudent to buy something I can't enjoy
Favorite Tweak: Remote Dimmer (Lutron Maestro)

-With my harmony remote I got for Christmas it automatically sets the lights to what I want (Full Bright, Dim, Off) depending if I choose Play PS3, Watch a Movie, or Watch TV

PS3 games and BlueRays look amazing. Black Ops is harder now oddly enough as I actually have to use my peripheral vision to see people not in the centre of the screen. I wired my rear speakers through the wall and as my projector only has 1 HDMI input, I wired in a 25' cord as well. I have a remote HDMI switcher to change from PS3 to HD Pace Shaw box. I added a pic I took with my phone of my Flames snuggy and Flames beer fridge.
