Its nothing compared to the kit you use Andy, its an infocus IN81 projector.
At the time I got it I did my homework by watching the Gadget Show (:lol:) who said it was the best home cinema projector available at the time. Its not as bright as some projectors ive used but i believe its got a good contrast ratio and is a true HD projector.
I then bought an Onkyo amp which has the PS3/XB360/Wii/Sky HD plugged into it and enables you to have one long heavy duty HDMI cable going straight to the projector to keep things tidy. To lay this cable i had to clear my bedroom / lift the floorboards in the bedroom and lay it that way due to the joists in the roof.
Whilst the floor was lifted I took out the long dangly light in the middle of the room which would get in the way of the projector and put in flat to the ceilling spotlighting on a remote control dimmer switch to add to the effect.
I then bought some middle of the range KEF speakers / sub 5.1 surround sound system to replace my old surround sound system. If anyone wants my old one its still in good nick... make me an offer
To finish the room off i got a low laying wooden cabinet to put all the bits on instead of the TV cabinet (which would look silly without a tele). I ripped out the old fireplace gently so i can resell it if anyone needs a fireplace let me know... I then plastered over the hole and carried on with the whole wall and put an air vent in at the bottom.
I then bought a mural of new york and stuck this on the back wall which was a nightmare to put up but looks ok from a distance in the dark.. lol The wife then made me get a new carpet up there and a stupidly expensive sofa up there which is a double ches long... so both can sit and watch tele with feet up. Oh last thing was black out blinds so you can watch films all day long.
The only thing ive found wrong with the room now is a lack of a beer fridge which i can move up from the conservatory if need be... and in this hot weather i could do with moving an air conditioner in there as once a projector gets going rooms get warm pretty quick.
Any more questions?
