Home Theater Projectors?

[splne1]

I recently purchased a new Panasonic PT-AX200U projector at a great price!! All the reviews seem to say its pretty good. I don't know much about it but if anybody can point me into the right direction here. I am mating it with the BOSE lifestyle 28 series system. If anyone else has a projector setup I would like to see some ideas as to what to do with mine.

No experience with a projector, but I'll help you set everything up if you want.

I like that HSV 2 at Little Creek.

I got a buddy helping out with the wiring and installing an overhead outlet. I got the Bose wiring kit to run the wires through the walls and ceiling. I also opted for the VS-2 video enhancing unit for HDMI output for my Bose lifestyle 28 series. I also bought the 120" fixed screen unit that you mount on the wall. Hopefully everything turns out good. You can always swing by and take a gander when im done ken.

Alright I just got the projector in last night plugged her in for a test run and all I can say is WOW!!! Slight pixelation on white lettering but picture is great. Hooked up the PS3 and ran a blue ray disc and was stunned. Even with ambient lighting coming into the room it still looks great. Gaming mode is excellent also. Ran Call of duty 4 through the game intro and the darks and whites worked very well together. Mind you this was just on my loft wall with no screen set up!!!! Just waiting on the Bose and Fixed screen to get in to start the wiring.

Ok guys here is how it all turned out. Took a while because we ran into alot of hiccups. First when the screen arrived I did not have the right tools for it. It required a screen door tool some wood glue and the screws were square head. A quick trip to Lowes and all was good. Then the bose issue!!! The system required an update so I had to contact bose and they mailed me the update disc. After all was said and done the VS2 video enhancer was not compatible with my AV28 media center it has to be an AV18. Then the damn wiring plan for the speakers and the projector mount went out the window. We wound up mounting a small shelf on the rear wall and putting the projector on it. The 50ft hdmi cable to awhile to come in also and we ran it around the base of the wall along with the speaker cable. But I think it all turned out good. I still need to run to best buy and get the corner wire covers to cover up the cables coming from the projector. KEN PM me and Ill send you my addy so you can stop by this weekend and check it out if ya still want.
