Case Study:
Visual Apex has hit a home run with the Panasonic PT-AE4000U and screen
package. The projector itself is remarkable for the price. I have priced
and seen projectors from low end to high end RUNCO ! The image is
crystal clear even with normal to lower theater lighting. The screen I
chose was the 120" diagonal. Using the graph on the website to gage
the distance the projector should be from the screen was a snap. I
have not changed a thing to the image coming right out of the box with
factory settings. For me the "Dynamic" video setting on the projector
was the most impressive. The screen kit was incredibly easy even a
monkey could put it together. All pieces were heavy extruded aluminum
and the screen was a HEAVY vinyl material which allowed assembly to go
smoothly. The directions and the website video were invaluable. I am
thrilled with the product support and customer care that I received. The
theater itself is a Sci Fi / Star Trek based theme. Its 19' deep by
22' located in my basement. The house support beam was incorporated into
the theme for I wanted to have that Bridge structural feel while having
the theater feel warm and comfortable. The equipment I used was of
course the Visual Apex Panasonic PT-AE4000U / screen package (120" Dia.). The speakers are KEF iQ90 towers for the front and the iQ60 center
along with 4 Bose 301 bookshelf speakers for the surrounds and a 12"
Sony sub all powered by a Sony 1000 receiver and Panasonic Blu-Ray
player. The ceiling is 1500 points of light fiber optic star field
reflecting the December night sky. The light source is a projector from
DEL-LIGHTING out of Texas. The floating riser has a CLARK Tactile
Transducer bolted to it allowing that seat of your pants feel. The tall
side acoustic panels where custom made by me and hinged conceiling 5,
2' X6' DVD storage compartments behind them. I am not a professional
contractor just an avid home theater enthusiast. The biggest thing to
doing a projector like this is getting the blessing from the wife for it
is labor intensive but a labor of love. Don't settle for what you want
and you DON"T have to break the bank in building a theater. If you would
like more info about the projector set up and the theater itself contact
me. dcartier@earthlink.net Again , A BIG thank you for Visual Apex.

And finally, The round opening will be the Stargate coming in from the
TOMB ROOM. It will be complete with animation and sound effects. The
entrance outside the tomb will be sliding doors that will look like rock
and as they open will sound like HEAVY sliding rock. Still a few things
to add for display in the model room. The room is more of an art gallery
with very rare collectable posters and autographs. Of course the robot
does speak when powered. All the work was done by me, including the
custom picture frames. |
