That's a fantastic screen. Is it DIY or bought? Xbox at 85"!! You can't go wrong:D:D

its DIY, simply projected onto the wall with a black border on the outside. The border is made out of ordinary paper, printed black from work:). I just cut various long strips and its attached to the wall by Blu-tack which cant be seen or noticed! Cost nothing to do!

Sweet idea, sickens me when you see prices of screens reach upwards of €1000:eek::eek: That's easily the best bang for buck screen you'll ever find:)

110" onto a carada screen. cod4 at 110" is as lifelike as it gets

would sicken you even more to see the quality difference then. no comparison between a decent screen and projecting onto a wall. screens are expensive, but are worth every penny

I'm tempted to take a look at a real screen, but I'm afraid I'll be tempted to buy one. And I must say your own screen looks fantastic.

I'm just saying that for €0.00 the black outline on the wall improves the look of the picture. And that you won't find better value anywhere.

no arguement there. a decent border around the image is the business..:D

i have a tri pod 65"screen aswell and i dont bother to use it,the quality is nigh on perfect with the wall, fair enough its not going to be as bright as when using a screen but i rent the place so cant exactly go drilling holes in the wall to put a decent size one up. When i get my own place i will consider a screen, A lot of people with projectors dont bother with a screen, instead they just use a special mix of paint which works fine,saves space and looks tidier etc.

not saying there is anything wrong with it, it works, and works well. But a proper screen is just a big improvement. I've seen, and used both, including screens of varying quality, and there is a big difference. And i would take a painted wall over a tripod screen most days of the week.

if you think the quality is perfect with the wall, don't go looking at a proper screen anywhere. it'll cost ya..:)

47" Philips LCD with 1080p, Pixel Plus picture and Incredible Surround (not so incredible---it's quite crap sound actually!)
Xbox360 hooked in with Component (no difference to HDMI even to my picky eyes)
Also PS3 (my bro's) which I have to say does a better job of displaying Xvids/DivXs thanks to upscaling (the 360 refuses to go above 576p when it comes to digital vids)
Planing to splash out on a Dolby TrueHD/dts-HD setup when they reach mere-mortal prices! For now, not-so-incredible stereo will have to do!

In fairness i would prefer a screen but the room im in only allows a screen image size of 85", so until im able to get a larger room il hold onto the wall. Yours looks fantastic, thats what im aiming for!Will have it in time!

This is my setup a little bit messy when i took the picture

40" Samsung HD LCD
2x Xbox 360 Elites (one through HDMI, one through Component)
1x Xbox HDDVD Drive
1x PS3 (HDMI)
PC (VGA)
Dream Multimedia DM500c Cable box
all connected through a gig switch
Currently in the market for a good 7.1 receiver and speakers

Lovely setup, but I've got to ask, why two 360's? One Pal, one NTSC?

peterk19

one modded and one unmodded for live, also use it for 2 player games on the 50" downstairs

ah the 50" is the parents TV which i did recommended to them, i was going to upgrade my 40" to 50" but it wont fit up the attic stairs

I've a 40inch Samsung connected with component, media center uses the VGA! All this is connected to a set of Logitech Z-680 speakers, awesome sound and recommended to anyone looking for a set of gaming speakers. Should be 2nd hand ones around now as they are about 5 years old!

I'd be wary about putting stuff on top of the Xbox. It can run hot and needs to be well ventilated. Stacking cases on it is something I wouldn't recommend.

I thought that was the couch till I read some of the other comments :eek:

@Macker1, that's a nice setup but unnaturally clean and oh so tidy. How the hell do you do that? You should see my mess of PS2, PS3, Xbox and 360 all under a cheap ass Lidl TV stand with my 26" HDTV (that's as big as will go in the room and all I could afford). Still works nicely and is a vast improvement on the old 19" TV.

Is it really that bad?
