hell yeah, home theaters are so cool. I've got something similar! pieced together over years, got a bargain on used sound equipment, etc.
what do you use for a screen? They can get crazy expensive. I'm still using the first one I bought for pretty cheap on amazon. It's nothing fancy, manually retractable, 16:9 100" diagonal
Also are you rocking a laser projector? they seem really awesome but I haven't yet branched out from DLP ($$$$).
for my screen, i use an orbital sander with like 80-120 grit and spackle before i foam roll on the closest thing i can color match at my local hardware store to what was formerly/sometimes still called Behr's "Silver Screen" in flat.
some old heads on a forum swear it's got the same gain as that overpriced projector paint which is like $200 gallon, but since its regular ass interior paint, it's like 1/10th the price for enough to do a whole wall.
screens, if you dollar down, can be far superior of course, but the laser technology is already so incredible that just having a light grey wall gets you there if you don't have sunlight shining directly into the room.
i might get some retractable screen someday and take it to the next level, but for now im just throwing it on a wall.
also my laser 4k is one of those UST (ultra short throw) projectors i got on sale, and that feature is legitimately star trek shit. the wall has to be real smooth and uniform at the top to avoid little bumps casting shadows, but i cannot believe how close the projector can be to a wall and throw up a monsterously huge image in 4K. major game changer and a total mind blow.
fuckin laser science is crazy.
ooh nice I'll have to look into this for myself. I do notice speckling on my screen in bright scenes, that's probably not an issue with the paint.
