My new toy!

[joesoap]

My cinema room is close to completion now after a flood and the insurers/tradesmen should be out by the end of next week, so I have just bagged myself this bad boy as replacement for the Jurassic (in both age and size) one we inherited from the previous owners.

SONY VPL-HW10 - Full 1080P

I agreed with the boss (The Missus) that we could get a new one in time for the World Cup so I phoned my man at the local AV Shoppe and he said he had one in. Because it is a discontinued model (new once came out a couple of months ago) I am getting the shop demo one, 8.5 hours on the lamp, for just under £1500 :shock: With full 3 year SONY warranty where they come to your house to fix it if there's any issues.

Waaaaay more than I planned to spend but it is frighteningly good, so I will just have to miss a couple of payments on my car to pay for it

AV man reckoned that there are some projector enthusiasts who collect old 3 lens projectors so the old BARCO Cine7 I am getting rid of (below) is worth up to £500-£600 to the right person. Time to get on the 'bay I reckon...

Here's a pic of the old beast

And here's a random pic I found on the web of it needing 4 blokes to mount it!!! I mean, it does weigh 38Kilo's but me and my 8 and half months pregnant missus took it down ouselves the other night. She undid the bolts and I rested it on my head :shock: Damn near crushed me!

But does it have central heating ???

What? The projector?

That's not a picture of my room, it's a random one I found on the web when looking for a photo of the old projector.

I am going to post a WIP of the room being rebuilt after the recent works, might do that this evening...

a rich man may enter the kingdom of heaven-with a condition emposed

Sorry, not quite sure I understand your point. Can you elaborate?

I understand you are paraphrasing Matthew 19:23-26, but I don't see the relevance to a topic on a projector for watching telly on...

It's alright, he makes weird comments now and then that don't make any sense. I assume it was imposed rather than emposed as well, emposed sounds like what Chris Schwartz is doing in that pic BB posted in general woodworking

Noticed that. Then rarely re-appears to back them up...

Why don't you put the screen in the middle of the room. Then you can sit either side, and see a 'Horizontal-flip' version of the film!

Don't forget to run your Tom and Jerry cartoons backwards! Hilarious!

John :lol:
