I have a 92" screen also. Actually it's bigger but it's framed to 92" by black felt.

Anyway it does look good but if you want the best picture out of these a smaller TV is better.

Sense everyone else is talking about their systems I have to brag too

My Equipment
57” 16:9 HD Toshiba Projection TV (57HX81) -or- Infocus 7200 (92" Screen)
Pioneer VSX-D810S (Receiver)
Pioneer DV-F727 (DVD Player)
M&K V-1250 THX Subwoofer
Infinity 12” Subwoofer (BU-120)
M&K 550 THX Surround (X2)
M&K LCR-750 THX Front (X2)
M&K 750-THX Center (X2 - one in front and one in rear)

I expected absolutely no story at all. Sort of like the original Doom you just get a shotgun and go to town. So I was surprised when it had a story at all. I just like blowing shit up anyway. If I want a story I'll watch a movie. In video games I just like to have fun and blow stuff up. But that's just me. So I’m a bit biased as far as how good the game goes. But for shear fun value nothing beats picking the chainsaw and running around chopping shit up.

What sucks is that by the time I have a good enought Graphics Card to play this will everything all the way up I won't want to play it anymore.

Your actually better off watching these bootlegs on a smaller TV. Anything too big will just make all the bad things about the picture stand out that much more. NOT THAT THE PICTURE IS BAD....the sorce matterial can only be as good as laserdisc. If you blow one of these DVD's up to 92' it's not going to look very good compaired to a 27" crap TV. It will always look better on a smaller screen. That's just how it goes.

It won't look bad but it won't look great either.

Is anyone out there playing Doom 3. I picked it up when I got the new PC and it kicks ass. I'm running it at 800X600 with everything on except bip mapping (Is it bip?...anyway) and it looks great. I can only imagine how good it would look at 1600X1200. All I need now is another graphics card. I'll just wait six months and then get that one which will be replaced in another six months.

But anyway the game is about what I expected, basicly a graphic demo, but it's more fun that I thought it would be. Go figure.

Turn off the lights, Turn up the stereo, and get drunk. ROCK ON

Well you don't have to "do it right" to get a good sounding surround mix. I've seen people spend 5000 bux on surround sound that sounds awesome and I’ve heard 150 dollar bookshelf surround sound setups that sound decent too. One thing I have learned over the years of home theatre is that sound is a matter of personal preference. One set of speakers will not sound good to every single person on the planet. The size and set up of a room can go a long way to making your home theatre sound and look better.
Off subject
I recently upgraded my Infocus 4800 to the 4805 (A very nice projector for the price). Right after that I was given an opportunity to get the 7200 for dirt cheap and had to have it. Now I bet if I had that 4805 in a perfect room for projection TV (IE...black walls, no light what so ever...etc.) It would perform way above and beyond what my 7200 is doing now in a room with white walls and ambient light. Well maybe not above and beyond but right up there. To some one on the street it would look just as good if not better. Now to someone like me who lives for the shit, they will notice the little differences.
Back to subject (I swear I’m almost done)
The point being that he can get really good sounding surround sound for dirt cheap. IF he is willing to take the time and set it up right. Everyone has to start somewhere when it comes to surround sound. I think my first set up was around 200 bux and it was kick ass for the time. Then I started need better and better stuff.

Hell if you never ever listen or look at better equipment you might always be happy with your set up.

Can you think about never needing or wanted better equipment.

Dead Alive (Or Braindead) is an amazing 1992 Peter "The true lord of the rings" Jackson zombie splatterfest. While spying on her timid son Lionel and his ethnic girlfriend at the zoo, snobby, olde Vera is bitten by an imported Sumatran rat-monkey (Yes a rat moneky) carrying a deadly rabies-like zombie virus. Vera eventually transforms into a ravenous zombie-cannibal whom Lionel tries to conceal, but soon the plague spreads, things get totally out of control and Lionel has to deal with more bloodthirsty, flesh-eating zombies than he can handle. Hail to Peter Jackson for making this film the goriest film of all time! Literally wall to wall with buckets of guts, grue, blood, splatter and an outrageous bloodbath of an ending which must be seen to be believed.

And for all you people across the pond you can easily get the longer uncut version. We only get the unrated version

Your version is 7 minutes longer.

GO SEE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can't have a horror thread without talking about this movie....
