finally got to watch this today, for the third time, in proper fashion (51" plasma, 5.1). my friends, this thing not only has to been *seen* to be believed...you've gotta hear it, too. I need to get a better sub, I've discovered.
^^THIS^^
As good as this looks on a laptop screen, there's really no substitute for watching it on a 50"+ screen. I am green with envy hearing about people projecting this on screens over 100".
For me, it's 120". A pure white wall with borders that I made. Looks awesome. Photos here: http://www.blu-ray.com/community/gallery.php?member=keithabbott
That is awesome. I have an old Lumenlab projector (1.0) lying around that I used to project at around those sizes (in college) but the image quality is really not that great and anyway I don't really have a wall to project it onto anymore.
Thanks. I got my Sanyo 1080p projector at BB pretty cheap. It's a lot cheaper investment than getting a TV let me tell you. You don't have to deal with the weight and giant stand, and replacing a projector is easy. They look better than you'd think. And my son and I play XBOX on the wall at 136" (I keep thinking it's 120" for some reason)! HOW FRICKING COOL IS THAT? LOL. Anyhow, so yeah...when I watched Harmy's version in the downstairs theater it looked amazing. It was just a bit choppy streaming as an MKV through a Wireless-G router. I probably need to download the AVCHD when it's done.
Don't worry...you'll have a wall one day. :)
Ha, thanks! All that sounds great! Actually, I was streaming to my RaspberryPi running OpenELEC (embedded OS w/XBMC) over coax (MoCA bridges) and it was STILL choppy, but this I chalk up to the Bluray-esque bitrate; I'm not sure the Pi could handle it. I have a local copy on my laptop so I just hooked that up, which isn't ideal because of what my TV does with PC sources, but wth. I should try streaming to my laptop to confirm that this issue is with the Pi/OpenELEC though. I doubt it's the network (MoCA is 250-300mbps standard) but my hdd is filling up (80gb left of 2TB) so that maybe it, too...
