Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation Re: Suggestion on dedicated cinema room 9Aug 18, 2007 8:10 pm pasey25 Rod, I don't agree its 0.1 percentile. I also see alot of theaters and have a trained eye for colour. And I've calibrated (or tried to) projectors in an environment with strong red, green or blue based paint/drapes close to the projected image border. It makes getting the right result more difficult - no doubt about it. The colourimeter doesn't lie. On those theaters pained black, you're right there aren't many. Most theater rooms are used as multi use rooms. Black isn't right in this multi use environment. In this case though, the OP is asking for suggestions on a dedicated room. Now that doesn't mean that some colour can't be used, but ideally it should be well away from areas where the projected image will light it up so that the colour is seen. Let me tell you that there is nothing better than watching an image that looks like its floating in space because the entire surrounding area is black. On the CRT issue Rod, I'm not going to get into an argument about it here but my opnion is for the amount of money invested, CRT offers the best image quality for the criteria I value most. I get 10ftl on my screen, so its plenty bright enough. Its also plenty sharp after I finished tweaking it, it takes very little maintenance (contrary to popular opinion). Installation ease isn't really an issue, since I only have to do it once. Its also comparatively cheap to run, they're easy to fix unlike DLP/LCD's and have a much longer operating life since most were designed for commercial applications. Anyway, like you said, there are pros and cons for each, but CRT is right for me. pasey, are you same pasey as the one who is in HTCENTRAL forum? well I am true CRT lover, I had 2 x 1272 before and thinking to go for 1292 for new house as price is decreased as well. However I never had dedicated room hence I wanted to make it right at first place. Also to minimise scan-lines I will be running it through HTPC. About 2m is depth of the raised floor and height will about 30cms ( 2 step of 15cms each at the entry), wht do you recomend for screen? I mean fixed sceen or glass bid or matt? any suggestion for screen masking for 2 aspect ratio 16:9 and 4:3. thanks DM Re: Suggestion on dedicated cinema room 10Aug 18, 2007 8:29 pm yes, that is me. I never liked the 1292 much compared to some other CRTs.x
anyway, I'm not sure what you're asking about with regard to all the measurements that you provided, its not very clear. On the screen type, I'd suggest a fixed screen, not glass beaded, but maybe something a bit more reflective than a unity gain matt screen. Depends on how much money you want to spend. you could do something with a ready made screen from a local seller, to something high end like a stewart, or do a DIY job with some kind of pearlescent paint like gesso or something more impressive like screen goo. As for masking I'd suggest not bothering with a 4:3 screen, I doubt you'll get much use out of the extra screen material. just watch the 4:3 material (which I'm guessing will be in the minority) with black bars in the 16:9 frame. I'd suggest a masking system for 2.35:1 films though, there are many different ways you can acheive it depending on your DIY skills. There is plenty of info on this on AVSforum.com if you feel like doing some reading. Thank for yes basically what to remove and what to add, where to place them 2 7912 No the fireplace doesn’t work.
