where’s the video of the finish project
@billnyethe1742 Hahahaaha. +1
haha at least u did it
I did all this HDMI sound shit and 1080p 52” Tv just to find out that I only like watching charlie Chaplin films
That’s about 224,577.794¥
(Japanese yen)
I mean that is what they claim, those are some massive numbers. I agree that they are exaggerating, but the center is the most important speaker. They don’t turn down all the other speakers, you just naturally hear it more.
The center is not going to make the surround pointless.
The human eye can only distinguish 800:1 at any given time. That can be from 1000-1800:1, 17000-17800:1.. It is AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
if all tv’s can only show 800 to 1 and anything byond that the human eye cant see, then explain why a tv with 3000 to one contrast compared to one that has millions to one…..the higher one i can things in the background with out the blacks being all washed out.
I never mentioned brightness, you should only change contrast to suit the source. Brightness should be adjusted once and only once.. For the sake of our species learn to spell rather then reading home theater magazines. Do something constructive with your time
Really? Now bringing in the whos older act… haha.. It should be who’s more educated.
The human eye can only distinguish 800:1 at any one time.. You can see 10000:1 in 800 lot steps easy.. but not all 10000 at the same time. Im a physicist, human biology to me is the same as driving down the street. Second nature as they put it
Now try and disprove science, if you do.. It just shows you really are an idiot
i know what contrast setting is, i know there is contrast and brightness, and there two differnt things. give me a REAL quizz on home theator anyday and ill pass it. and i still belife what i say. 800 to 1 contrast sucks, and ” I” can tell a differnce in tv’s with higher contrast. with that said im not writing u anymore, im much older then u and have studied this shit for a long time( i dont work,so i have nothing better to do)
I used a shitty 1024×768 1500:1 projector onto a 120″ screen. Perfect everytime
Adjust your contrast, that is what different modes are for. I have 1 mode for dark games, 1 for light games, dark movies, light movies etc. Use the settings to your advantage. By doing so i can see dark textures. Specially in GTA on the PS3, i could not originally see the mobile pop up screen in game. I now can thanks to a thing called “Contrast Setting”
i play video games and there is a lot of texture elments in the backgournds that i can see with contrast ratio of high end hdtv’s but on cheaper ones like from walmart i cant see it inless i turn up the brightness all the way up, but then the BLACK is washed out…thus shity contrast ratio. I HAVE ALSO taken my fav dark scenes of movies play them over and over agin, then put them on high end projectors at home theator store, and could not see certian background imagines
That 6 million to 1 is dynamic (software driven). The real native contrast of LCDs has yet to pass 10000:1.. And besides.. The human eye can only distinguish 800:1 at any given time.
at ear level
PORJECORS SUCK inless u have SHIT AND I MEAN A SHIT LOAD LOAD OF MONEY…IF NOT..U GET SHITTY CONTRST RATIO!!!! i have never seen ANY projector that can have better contrat then the best lcd panel tv…samsund and sony have 8 million to 1…U CANT NOT GET TAHT IN A PROJECTOR! MAYBE IN ABOUT 100 YRS! LOL
a bit above on the SIDE WALLS and behind u, so yes there on the side wallls…there a tad bit above your ear and a bit behind u, i have put a SHIT LOAD of speakers on many walls and tested and retested.
At ear level or above?
FACT REAR SPEAKES SOUND BETTER BEHIND U…BUT ON THE SIDES OF THE WALLS, NOT DIRECTLY BEHIND U! IT CREATS A null EFFECT AND THAT IS WHAT U WANT
I AGREE!
Surrounds should be at ear level. It is actually quite complicated and there is a lot of science that goes into it.
use green glue! way cheaper than quietrock
Surrounds are placed well above head height and aimed downwards its that simple to follow! its not fucking rocket-science.
Some just have no clue what so ever even these guys doing the install who are doing fine job are missing the fact that surrounds is made of multiple speakers spaced out alone the sidewalls and rear wall to defuse monaural surrounds or centre phantom and yet still provide location of split-surrounds.
