Hi guys,
Any ideas for hiding a roof mounted projector and screen?
Would be nice to not see them at all when they arent being used, but even just making them less noticable would suffice.
Has anyone tried doing this before?
cheers

Can you please provide a rough figure how much those projector/screen hiding thing worth, and installation? Need to allocate some budget for that... Cheers Allan http://building-our-first-house.blogspot.com/ Re: Ideas for hiding projector screen. 7Jun 15, 2007 1:15 pm Allow around $1200 for the screen hideaway and up to $3000 for the proj. Re: Ideas for hiding projector screen. 8Jun 15, 2007 2:00 pm  mattwalkerAllow around $1200 for the screen hideaway and up to $3000 for the proj. Thanks for the info. Does this includes the screen and projector itself, or just the cost for the hiding material/equipment and installation? I guess also need to add a few power points in the ceiling as well? Cheers Allan http://building-our-first-house.blogspot.com/ Re: Ideas for hiding projector screen. 9Jun 15, 2007 2:36 pm Other than asthetics and dust, is there any disadvantage to having it permanently mounted? I have a $100 mount that I got at the time I brought the projector. Any issues with this?
3xb Re: Ideas for hiding projector screen. 10Jun 15, 2007 2:54 pm Only thing I can think of is that hiding the screen allows you to use the room for other things.
I am actually shooting on to a black wall, and have no issues wt all, except the wife is eyeing of a Ken Duncan print...... Help Matt or Rod?????

Power points are a must have if you plan on having "hideaway" devices....

In the last house (pics above) it was dual pourpose so i had to be able to hide it, in the new house it is a dedicated room so it will all be on display..  Re: Ideas for hiding projector screen. 13Jun 15, 2007 10:47 pm mattwalkerNope just the devices for hiding away and installation!! lol Wow, that's a bit higher than I expected. Thanks for the information. Will need to wait and see how the construction goes first. The hide away of the screen is definitely a must have. One more question, if I install the hide away screen + projector after the house is finished, will there be big difference in the installation cost? Assuming I got all the wiring and power points done during the construction. I need to sort out the priorities based on the budget, Plasma first then the projector+screen.

I t takes up a lot of space and depending on which way your trusses run it may be easier and more structurally sound to "frame it in" before the plaster goes up! The projector hideaway is the same! If you are just mounting the proj. ot the roof then it makes no difference! You have no photo with your post. Best I can say is to remove an A&L flyscreen don't be afraid to distort the frame almost like a trapezium. It doesn't take a lot of… 1 3163  2 1669 How about some decorative film on the window?
