As a former Home theatre installer, I'm ashamed to say that I know installers who don't know the basics of screen and projector setup. I very much appreciate the video and am surprised that some of these companies don't reach out to youtube presenters and hire them as technical reps since much of the training I have received in a variety of disciplines has been lacking in comparison

The amount of information is one thing but the production value of this video is amazing. I can’t imagine the amount of time spent creating it. Well done.

Bro, I am not even in the market for a screen or projector but they way you explain things is perfect. Keep up the good work brethren.

Me before watching this: "Yeah, I know a thing or two about projectors."
watches video
Me: "I didn't know anything about projectors."
Thanks for this useful info, man! Great video!

Holy shit, this is one of the most comprehensive reviews I’ve ever seen, regardless of topic!

Great video, and very informative. I quibble with the idea that most movies are 2.35:1. In theaters, movies are a mix of 2:35:1 and 1.85:1. In the past couple of months I've watched Alien, which is 2.35; Aliens, which is 1.85; and The Wizard of Oz, which is a nearly square 1.33:1. For me a 16:9 screen is the best compromise for a projector screen, even for movies.

Great video. I would like you to make a video which explains how to acoustically treat your room with acoustic panels, bass traps. Budget solutions and their placement and all.

You're the most under-rated guy in the game! I LOVE your videos. Great content, concise, knowledgeable, great teacher, great pace, entertaining, etc. Phenomenal bro. Great video!

Dipping my toe into the home theater realm. Seen a million of these videos. Yours is one of the few I've watched all the way through and looked at your upload playlist. You got great energy and legitimately seem to be enjoying yourself. Well done, sir.

The CLR 3 screen size is actually 123".....not 121" as specified in one of the clips.

Man, I want to thank you for all the helpful information. You’ve done a GREAT job explaining some of the details of projectors and screens. People like you are what make looking information up on YouTube worth the effort. Thank you and please don’t stop making these informative videos.

This is the definitive one-stop shop for all screen information! Great video, Chris!

@PapaRick2677 4 years ago

WOW! I'm SUPER impressed with the in-depth information and the excellent production. This actually helped me decide to NOT set up a projection TV because it's WAY more involved (and pricey) for me! Thank you, Chris, for taking what had to be LOTS of time to "construct" this amazing production from beginning to end! I'm seriously impressed!

You are a God amongst men. Thank you so much for all your hard work on these. This particular video could not have come at a better time. Thanks so much!

You can make the screen big as you want on a wall and it still looks amazing,I brought the Panasonic model (only 2000lums) in 2006 and since my house was a converted barn with 6mtr wide walls I took it right out to just over 5 MTRS and the unit was hanging from the middle truss 6mtrs from the screen. Had it hooked up to mid level sound system Marantz 6007 with some english speakers I can't remember their name. It was brilliant as if we were in an actual cinema. I can only imagine how much better the projectors are now
