My amazing 121" big screen, wife friendly cockpit!

I'm not married but I may as well be and until I buy another home I am renting a one bedroom condo so space is at a premium.

I was going nuts sitting on my couch playin BOP on my 40" HDTV because it was just too small for how far away I had to sit. I had a projector sitting in my closet unused for months because I couldn't figure out an ideal situation for it and it was killing me. I had the projector setup at my old place, so I knew how wonderful it could be when setup and matched with my lazyboy.

She decorated this place a little while ago, and I was able to get her to agree on keeping my lazyboy (I was not letting that go for anything lol), but the corner facing away from the tv was the only place we could situate it, so I never really used that chair either, which was also killing me because it is the most comfortable chair ever.

So after days of frustrating online BOP matches where I was getting my ass handed to me because I had to constantly squint, I did some web surfing and found myself an amazing 121" motorized projector screen!

I could keep talking, but Ill let the pictures take it from here....I am in 7th heaven now!

I live in South Florida, I'm outside all the time, although you take it for granted down here because the weather is nice year round, except for the hurricanes and tropical storms of course.

Do you have 5.1 surround sound? If you do you must be flying ass-backwards, ...sound wise that is.

Does the game plays in 5.1? Does anyone here have any sound coming from the center speaker? It's seems more like 4.1 surround sound to me.

I think Florida sucks big time in the summer. I thought I was gonna die in the humid heat last time I was there.

Hawaii is nice year round, if only the cost of living there wasn't so silly.

Something is wrong with your shit then.
I get a good Merlin growl from my center channel speakers when I'm in a Spit.

I have my 5.1 system hooked up to the projector, not the tv, so I have proper directional sound. Got a nice HK receiver and CAF Q series speakers....I had to hold off on hooking up my 15" Velodyne sub, because of the condo situtation, because that thing will bring the building down.

And fuzzy, yea Florida sucks big time in July, but is even worse in August! Im born and raised down here so Im used to it, however, after traveling the world a few times I will tell you that florida is highly overrated. Hawaii is one the most beautiful places that I have visited, I went around the entire Island of Oahu, but I wanna go back and tour the large island an see the volcanos. I went hiking for a few hours through the jungle in Hawaii and never broke a sweat, but when I came back to miami, just walking from the airport terminal to my car caused me to be drenched with sweat.
