Xbox one hooked up to optoma hd200x projector.

If you have the room, a projector is the way to go!

Is there much lag from a projector when online gaming?

Tv seems very high?

When I watch TV/play the Xbox I don't usually sit on the seat under the desk, that's mainly for the laptop or anything else, I've a seat a bit back from it where I usually do watch TV, the TV's mount can tilt a bit more downwards than how it's set in the picture, I just tilted it a small bit upwards for the picture

Multitasking at its finest here,


rain outside means no cycling, and I need to get my beer gut gone.

but I'm not going to leave that interfere with my gaming so I rigged up this arrangement. no multiplayer for obvious reasons, but I'm after getting through about 7 hours of The Witcher 2 like this (obviously not all in one sitting!) Turn on subtitles, and you really don't notice the time going.

Looks tidy. I like it! Love the riser so you can fit your xbox and kinect underneath your monitors. I see you purchased a loot crate or 2 as well?

Yes... never again :P

Made some changes to my setup recently, back using PC monitor /dual display.

Left monitor is a swap in for a smaller one that died on me no sooner had I mounted it and is too wide / long to be comfortable so will be swapping that out for a smaller one when I can. The right one is wired to both xbox and pc via hdmi so is main pc screen when xbox not in use. Speakers are Gigaworks T20 series 2 which I picked up for 60 quid !!!!

Oh and they are mounted on a Duronic DM352 which I can't recommend highly enough , well built and cost about half of what it would have cost to wall mount with vesa brackets and no drilling !!! Will take a 27'' each side at up to 8KG each.

Will you stop. I'm half afraid the roof is going to cave in as it is lol. Containers filled with large volumes of water can be very heavy and I don't know how structurally sound this 110 year old house is :pac:

had it over in the home entertainment forum so may as well stick it here. apologies it's not showing a game on the screen. the somewhat visible 360 has been replaced with a one.

I've got some TV envy going, nice setup mossy. What size is that?

MiskyBoyy

Don't tell me thats a TV? I assumed it was a projector the size of it
Very nice mature setup

mossym

120" screen. projector on the celing over my head. cheated a bit in that i got to design the room before first fix was even done so go to run the cables in wall, put a power socket on the ceiling beside the projector, that sort of thing
