Jake looks super comfortable sitting in that chair. You can tell, he's never going to leave Linus' house.
Considering how much work Jake put into the house, he better have a room.
Linus: "Yvonne, I have good news and good news, first good news we always have staff around. And the seats are the best"
Yvonne in total horror: THERE IS A JAKE IN THE BASEMENT 😂
Of course not. Why should he leave his husband?
He's basically a feature at this point
@@Serjical1 he runs and barks in his sleep
I love Dan. His sense of humor with his deadpan delivery is just perfect.
That will definitely get stale.
He is my new favorite side character
@@ItsDrMobius just like yo momma
It's almost as dark as his jokes.
6:08
Dan: "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer"
Love this guy's energy
Dark. Dark energy. Wouldn't have anything fall on those kids.
i love dan
I really hope he stays with LMG for a long time
Did I miss a Dan quote of the day?
I've been hearing that one since I was a kid and it never gets old. And there's the other one: "There's no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid people who ask questions."
Dan's humor and comedic timing is impeccable. Dude made my cry laughing just by saying "yeah" at the exact perfect millisecond
And then he just... Walks away 😂 I fuckin love this guy
Timestamp?
Nvm found it lol: 18:40
It's really not a good idea to set high expectations for the new guy. Nobody likes that.
@@justinhalen2126 Its not expectations, its praise on how he is currently. How he is currently is satisfying those around so improving would only be a bonus
Seriously. Dan is maybe my favourite addition to the team in a long time. Give this man more screen time.
Welcome to Real Talk with Dan and Jaime needs to be a new channel for LMG.
Just them testing and installing random stuff in the office, lab, employees' homes with as little enthusiasm as possible
Sign me up!
I would watch this.
Dan's whole demeanor is like a major ASMR vibe
Like and subscribe 🤣
Yes!
09:50 Unless you have acoustically transparent screen, you shouldn't put the center speaker behind the screen. And if you have 4K or 8K screen, it's rarely acoustically transparent because the traditional way to make it acoustically transparent was to make if full of small holes. 4K resolution is high enough that any holes in the screen cause problems.
Having the center below or above the screen is fine but you should make sure that the second row can *see* the center speaker or they will get much worse dialogue audio. (This works because ears are around the same height in your head as your eyes. If the center speaker is too low and you cannot see it, you cannot either directly hear it and you'll be listening bounced audio only.)
at any reasonable seating distance, the holes don't make any noticeable difference with even a halfway decent screen weave even at 4k. all pro cinema's have speakers behind an AT screen, it's fine
I printed off a picture of my centre speaker to give to people behind me so they could see it but it did not improve the sound at all.
" And if you have 4K or 8K screen, it's rarely acoustically transparent because the traditional way to make it acoustically transparent was to make if full of small holes."
For higher resolutions there's a lot of weaved screens that are acoustically transparent and can handle a user sitting much closer than a perforated screen. The tradeoff is gain is usually around 10-15% lower on the weave screen vs a perf. (0.85 vs 1.0)
One of my dreams is to have enough money to care about where my center speaker lol
generally, this room kinda lacks sound treatment. would not mind a bass trap in every corner and just a few very carefully placed absorbers at the secondary reflection points.
Dude Dan's such a subtly hilarious guy, I love when you include him in videos.
What an era to live in, with amazing home theatre and computer technology. And a progressive age where a loving couple like Linus and Jake can live in the same home with Linus’s wife
Edit: linus please like my comment

@@mikemcmike6427 Mate I'm joking!
they're a couple? for real?
@@knightahmos8636 Well... This escalated quickly.
As someone who works in broadcast, that projector looks FREAKING INCREDIBLE for only $5000. My work uses Panasonics that are $30,000 and can't even do HDR. The game is seriously changing.
It still has no native 4K or 3D. Sonys / JVCs projectors are still better in my opinion.
I mean, say what you want, but Sony has always been a market leader in terms of media quality.
@@p4skal0 there are shift projectors that look like 99% native 4k, you only would see a difference in a test picture
@@p4skal0 Sony’s new entry laser (the 5000) is ok for the price, (but 6k and no motorized lens adjustment? C’mon!) but the other two laser models have been horribly overpriced for the North American market (the 6000 and 7000). (Europe is much more sane.) Even excusing the price disparities, some aspects are a letdown if you’re a gamer.
@@bvbdrag0n Agreed. Native 4K is a lousy place to spend your bucks in the projector world. I’ve pixel peeped the JVC NZ series, the older NX series, all alongside even the lowly 2 way pixel shifters and at even 5 feet away on a 120 “ screen you’re going to have trouble spotting the difference in motion. Now good native contrast ratio coupled with higher lumen output? That’s where the fun is at!
I love watching Jake give his dad Linus a hard time.
Isn’t it beautiful that when Jake was a baby he suckled from Linus’s teat? Parenting is so beautiful!
Jake is so immature and annoying
I feel like Jake has become the dad in this relationship at this point 😂
Are they in a throuple or is he his dad? The world may never know
i wonder how much Linus pays his son that screws around all the time
I can relate to the "I made it moment." You worked so hard and now you can enjoy the results of your years of hard work. Well deserved Linus. So amazing home cinema theatre system !
6:05 something about the way Dan just shuffles over in his socks scolding Linus is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time
Dan interview at LMG:
- What field of tech have you worked on?
-Yes
I love how Jake explained passionately why they where going to mount the projector 12 feet and 6 inches from the screen only to immediately throw it out the window
With how bright this projector is they could mount it 50 feet away and probably not use it at full brightness
that part bothers me so much cus I thought when he said "which is around" he's gonna tell the distance in cm but nope feet -sincerely, a guy who still don't get imperial units
story of his career at LLT
@@michaeltagor4238 here you ft is simple 1inch 12 times is 1 ft so 12ft 6 inches verses 365.76CM
@@michaeltagor4238 12 inches in a foot. If you grew up with it it makes complete sense. I dont visualize metric well at all. I get how it works but i can pace out about a yard but couldnt tell you how long a meter was without actually measuring it.
Subwoofer placement definitely matters. Room modes are a real thing and you can get huge dips in bass in certain seating positions if you are not careful. 2 subwoofers definitely helps even this out but it is still important to place them correctly. Doing a sub crawl will help in this regard and also running room correction software will help as well as long as it has a separate bass management component, ie Dirac Live, Audyssey XT etc.
yeah but at the same time it matters less the more subs you have, and in his case he has them in differnt planes, vertical and horizontal. to, he's running 4 subs, with 6 drivers, depending on how he is running his towers anyway. Obviously wih the room config the subs can only go so many places without being in the way, it'll be fine, especially if he doesn't obsess over seat to seat consistency, long as they get time and phase aligned.
As Dan said the frequencies are so low that their wavelength is so big it'll practically fill the entire room regardless of where they are. What you should however note is the reflection of those waves as the reflected waves can counteract and indeed create "dead space" (look at 2 water drips falling into a pond and how their waves cancel each other out at certain parts). But other than that its not that big a deal (and tbh you gotta be real unlucky for that to happen anyway)
Except for the fact that Audyssey is the worst room correction software in the world and hates subwoofers. Sub placement matters only if it's a ported sub where the port is aimed at you and you've only got reflective surfaces. If I can get away with just putting a balled up pair of socks in my soundbar's ported upright sub and having it sound fine in a very reflective room, Linus will not be running into issues here. The only times I've had to do a sub crawl in the past 10 years was when someone had set up their speakers with Audyssey and I had to correct it for them...
@@KoenvdW88 oh there are worse...arc didn't even work til recently. and no one like yamaha's implementation. Audyssey is fine if you help it with the editor and don't give it complete crap to start with. Bottom line, if you have 2 or more (high quality) subs you're going to be ok, unless you are in a very challenging room. And I doubt the kids or his wife are all that picky anyway.
For a small room with two subs, it'll probably sound fine wherever - but it's worth working on the placement to get consistent bass at most of the seats.
Also probably worth floor to ceiling corner bass traps and acoustic panels at first reflection points... The acoustic treatment would be a nice project, maybe they can bring in someone experienced to teach us!
To solve your projector light bleed issue when watching various aspect ratio content you'll want to consider swapping to something that supports an anamorphic lens. No light bleed if there's no light transmitted there in the first place! That's when you then use furniture or curtains or whatever to cover the unused portion of the screen.
the Epson supports an anamorphic lens, but i dont think it will automatically, problem is you need to engage or disengage it depending on content, and you aren't getting all that much benefit considering the lens costs 2-3x what the projector does.
How about motorized black velvet curtains/blockers with selectable aspect ratio? Another project!
Dan, I appreciate your dark humor. You're appreciated by us (the audience) even if it goes over Linus and Jakes head.
That's facts
Dan's face during the audio demo was priceless.
😶
The face of a man saying "eh, heard a lot better... But it's good for a home theatre"
@@bugbreadbuns literally
That's the most "shut up, I want to listen" kind of face I think I've ever seen.
The only reaction I actually wanted (no shade meant for Jake)
I’m super happy to see Linus get his dream house. He’s worked very hard for it and I hope him and the family love it!
Dan: "point it at his left ear."
Linus: "that's gonna look so stupid though."
Dan: "yeah."
Refuses to elaborate further...leaves xD
Do you want maximum audio quality or nice looking speakers?
If you want "both", the closest you can get is something like Genelec 8260 or 8361 which doesn't look bad even when it's pointed directly towards the listener. For satellite setup you could use something like Genelec 8330 if you have good subwoofers. The price might get your eyes a bit moist, though.
@@MikkoRantalainen I don't think Yvonne would like look or price tag of the Genelecs
@@lukebuchwald9252 I think many women actually like the looks of 8000 series Genelecs. The 8260 might be too big but 8330 in white color should be pretty well received in most homes.
That bit was great, Dan banter is the best.
Dan with his deadpan humor. More of Dan!
Oh, in case you wanted examples. 6:08 18:40
Of course Linus and Jake's interactions were comedic gold.
"That's gonna look so stupid though."
"Yeah."
This had me dying
@@TobyDillman the walking out of frame part sealed it. Hahaha
and 15:53
@@TulgaD5 Jake's reply as well. Hahaha
"Jesus Christ. Dan, that's dark."
14:00 Pro tip for the projector installation in home theater: if your projector has high quality lens shift and your screen doesn't hot spot the projector, position the projector as high as possible relative to the screen and you'll get practically zero shadowing from people moving the room.
Watching this video made me realize how my parents have always given me what I´ve wanted, just like you with your kids, I wish I could get some of that love back especially since my dad´s dream is also having a home theater, but I´m just a broke student, I hope one day I can finally make my dad´s dream come true
⁶
The deadpan "the bar fell out again" reminded me so much of the "the front fell off" bit from Clarke and Dawe. Dan and Jamie just make for perfect foils for Linus' and Jake's enthusiasm.
More real talk with Dan and Jamie - I was super mad that it fell out again. Everything about the assembly and mounting of the screen fought Alex and Dan and I. It looks great now though!
Dan: Hopefully these screws are going to be tight enough so this won't fall on Linus's kids.
Linus: What?
Dan: Nothing
Jake: Jesus christ, Dan, that's dark.
I couldn't not stop laughing at this 😂
yeah i had a bit of a coughing fit at that one
too perfect.
This is why Dan is a great addition as well as his technical skills and knowledge, such as audio in this video.
That was so funny. However to be fair linus kids biggest threat is linus dropping things.
I absolutely lost it.
Use zip togglers from Lowe’s for any drywall mounting. They are a little pricey but I use the for screens, TV’s, and many other AV products that are wall mounted.
I love the mounting of the side speakers, 3 wall anchors. Each of those wall anchors can hold 50-75 lbs or 22-35kg, complete overkill!
I'm starting to think that Linus started this TH-cam channel to form the ultimate group of tech geniuses to build his dream home.
Not really a bad plan when it works, which it seems like it does for linus. The fact it appears they have a really positive and healthy environment as well as relationships with the hires makes a big difference when those hires appear on screen, you can fake being happy admittedly, but it is hard to do it consistently. I have the feeling that linus and Yvonne would do all they can to help their employees.
Linus media group is just a giant bin of tech to take whenever you need. "Need a 3090? no problem, we got hundreds!"
Finally accomplished, just took 10+ years
Haha yup. And he's acquired and groomed all his sponsors to fill it. Not a bad gig at all but he has worked f'n hard to get here.
Once he is done, he can likely sell the house for triple what he paid. Linus has a new business of buying houses and making them tech havens.
Jake will have such an amazing home when he moves in with Linus
But he will need to live in the basement 😂
hes already got a secret room somewhere I bet
@@danielmansfeld7747 looking at that basement, I wouldnt complain lol
He's already built a secret room with tunnels for himself whilst linus and Yvonne were dealing with lmg things im sure. If he hasn't then it would be a missed opportunity for following up from dennis' super fun video. Actually with the bigger house Dennis could probably pull it off easier now.
His stealth family room TV setup is damned impressive in its own right. I admit, my big Sony bookshelf speakers from God-only-knows-when are not exactly elegant in the living room, but they do sound really good.
A few years ago, I bought my parents this cheap Element TV. They have a pretty big living room with a cathedral ceiling, and the built-in speakers honestly sound quite respectable.
Congrats brother I could hear it in your voice when you said this is a made it feeling. You make great content and I've been watching for years and know you work you ass off. You employ 80 people and as a business owner know how much work it is
15:52 That was the exact concern I had the whole time with mounting stuff on the wall - baby and child proofing. Not dark at all, just pragmatic and realistic.
true but Dan's delivery had me fall off my chair.
It wasn't the stating of the concern but brushing it off when Linus asked what. So, the joke was Linus's kids are maybe in danger but Dan didn't wanna tell him.
So that is why he did not use the [almost whole] wall itself as a screen?
I love that Jake says, 'I dont think "we" are ever gonna use this'
lets be honest jake is going to use this every chance he gets
Shut up bot
@@GroteGlon i mean if i had the chance i would as well as jake :D
@@onurboss3574 for sure

Linus, after seeing this 11 months ago i decided to finsh my downstairs and make a home theater in one of the rooms, this is still one of my favorite videos from you
Any speaker or subwoofer with a port that is aimed at a wall will be highly sensitive to its position relative to the wall. The frequency response (using the PC2000 sub as an example) will show a large peak at one frequency and a large null at a related frequency. These frequencies vary depending on the distance of the port from the wall. While the auto-calibration feature of a receiver or processor will attempt to compensate, that compensation will result in large EQ boosts/cuts which affect both phase response and system headroom. With this many speakers in this size room, headroom is not so much of an issue - but you may find that you can get better results with much less correction with speaker placement that takes the port location into account. Looks like a fun project!
I can definitely relate to this feeling like an "I made it" moment. When I got my first surround system this year I felt like I really made it in life. Something I'd wanted since I was a kid.
That's how I felt when I got my cool K2 skates with the white wheels. It's what 11 year old me wanted me than anything.
Well, that and love.
That happened to me when I got my first laptop when I was 17. I had wanted one my whole life and I finally saved enough money to get it.
Same here. Mine was a billiards room. :D
This but I bought a GPU and new big monitor with furry money.
"child sees it and immediately starts poking at it"
More evidence Jake is not the third wheel but more like their fourth child
As someone mentioned in the comments of another new house video, Jake probably has a bed in one of the cupboards.
He's the new Luke. Lives in the basement
I am pretty sure, jake is not real, he is just linus's another personality
And also a good reason to actually use the speaker grills instead of throwing them away like Jake said. I don't use mine but if I had kids they would be covered
As a techie and carpenter/builder I am building my dream house vicariously through these videos! Love them.
I got an ultimate mancave too, nothing like it. I love it. Pool table, dart board, theater setup. 2 More rooms in the basement also. Computer room with my record player and 400+ records, work bench. Another room with the retro game systems with 2 CRT tvs and a 65 inch rear projection mitsubishi. I love my house
"Thats gonna look so stupid"
"Yeah."
And then just walks off. I love Dan.
I know Linus said in WAN he doesn't really like doing this 'easy' content, but honestly as someone who watches every video - this is my favourite stuff. Always love the vlog stuff and wish you guys made more!
100% agree with you
Agreed. I don't care about graphic card reviews and all the really technical stuff they can get into on this channel. I watch all the videos for the goofy stuff that can get thrown into the script or editing.
This kind of stuff and the Intel Extreme Upgrade stuff I can watch all day long.
I second this. Homes/Architecture and PC/Technology stuff is some of what I really enjoy watching on TH-cam. Linus being able to combine these topics into a series of videos has really been awesome and I love it. I also love his technical PC and technology stuff, but this has been top notch.
Same!!!!
Nothing about anything that was on video here seemed to be "easy"...
...sticking in a graphics card into a computer and running benchmarks is extremely "easy" compared to the work that is the content of this video.
I love how you guys respect your sponsors with excellent & enthusiastic content, that inspires others aspiring to make video!
I love the casual friendly jokey relationship between all the staff at LTT, it's a great thing to see!
Seeing Linus appreciate his dream come true from years and years of hard work was the best part of this video, made my day. Great job team!
Dan saving the day at 2:01 without saying a word
So glad I finally checked this out! I’m in the market for a similar set up.. I‘ve decided I’ll start saving for the hdmi cable first.
25:58 - Linus smile, just the face of a true nerd looking at his home cinema think ! THIS, THIS IS HEAVEN ! I love it
Glad to see you raise the back row for the sake of sitting behind tall people without tearing up the existing carpet. I guess that Dan test during the moving videos really spooked you.
Your profile picture shows me you have no common sense
@Don't Read My Profile Photo how bout no
We need to see more of Dan he's such a chill dude
Dan is such a great addition to the team, I really enjoy his input.
So awesome to see a young entrepreneur enjoying the fruits of his (and his team's) labour!
I could watch you guys for hours. The house content has been very entertaining so far!
Welcome to the beginning. Soon, you'll be putting sound treatments on the walls and ceiling and swapping out just about every part of the sound system.
...and it's going to be fantastic.
Shout out to SpareChange and his channel, he's rocking it on the high-end.
Listen. My 5.1 became 7.1 became 7.2 in the period of a couple months, and now I'm looking at upgrading the receiver to handle 9.2 because I really want proper tops.
I've tried convincing the wife to let me replace the wood paneling in the theater with carpet.
It's dangerous.
@@tpasco1995 What do you want with carpet? Deaden everything from 5kHz and above? And go with 5.1.4 rather than 7.1.2. The 4 height channels make much more sense than back surrounds.
@@florichi Mostly trying to cut down on reverb. And I already have twin subs, for clarity. 7.2 at present.
@@tpasco1995 Carpet will only do something above 6-8kHz. If you really want to do something build yourself a ceiling panel filled with 10-15cm insulation like hemp. You need a lot of thickness and quite an area to get reverb down across 250Hz-20kHz, not only the highs.
Upgradeitis!
This is genuinely one of my favorite series on TH-cam at the moment.
hey man, watching your dreams come true is motivation to pursue our dreams with more drive! there was definitely a heartfelt moment in there, scarcely found in tech videos ♥
Currently setting up my own movie room with a w1070+ projector the one you reviewed years ago, it’s still great!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo k
Love the home theater stuff. Would love to see a series about different tiers/budgets for home theater, similar to the multiple budgets for gamer set ups.
Indeed. The purist, the big spender, the budget minded, the movie watcher-gamer.
This sounds great
When they can't even give proper information in their video for home theater they probably shouldn't be doing it telling people the wrong things
@@ajstruhar2048 what did they get wrong? I know nothing about home theaters so I am genuinely asking
@@SwolePapi15 the big one that stood out to me was the subwoofer placement. It's crucial to get good bass and proper placement. The more subwoofers the better for equal sound and no peeks or booms. Bass is hard to manage as the sound waves are much longer then everything else above 45hz that's why it's sometimes good to place a sub in a corner of the room with space off the wall and even move it around to see if your getting any dips or nulls
Dan is great. I was thinking the same thing when he hosted that Short Circuit about the Sony candle speaker thing. He's an awesome personality for the videos.
Congrats on the theater! This was a goal of mine in college. I saved up, didn't buy my first car like most folks (I can't drive for disability reasons) - so instead I built a theater in my bedroom (aka Dad's basement). That was 20 years ago (eek). But I know that moment when you first turn on the projector or get the sound working.
I've got an SVS sub from that era and my friend's joked I stole it from a movie theater.
I don't get to use it these days as I moved into a small apartment when I moved out of Dad's house and haven't landed in a house of my own yet (thanks housing market disaster). But when I do, I'll definitely be reviving the theater.
We need more "Real Talk" segments. The two of them together is fantastic.
Awesome video! Seeing Dan and seeing Jamie, you know it's gonna be a good video!
As a Home Theater enthusiasts I have to say this was one of my favorite videos of yours. Seeing you build and then that enjoyment the first time was awesome haha. Reminded me of the first time I watched my Home Theater setup. Hope you and your family and friends enjoy it for many years!

Being a multi millionaire he also doesn’t really care, for him it’s just convenient not needing to order something, but just taking it.
@@rolux4853 But taxes. Company Stuff isnt private stuff etc...
@@emergcon you write it off.
It just has to appear in the box at some point when it was listed as company inventory.
Either you write it as a gift in your books or as a sale, as home office equipment etc.
It’s absolutely no problem to use company inventory at home.
Also if it’s treated like a long term equipment lease/rent you don’t even have to do that and it just stays company inventory.
There are so many ways how you could handle this without breaking any tax (or other corporate) laws, he doesn’t even have to think about it.
That’s what he has a team of accountants for.
privilege with rank
he is the office
I wonder how long until Dan finally thinks "what have I gotten myself into?" in regards to working at LMG. 😂
That was probably about five minutes into his first day there.
He packed up their clothes and pretty sure he said exactly that.
23:00 I recomend some Car Window tint. You can probably find some at a local car parts store / Autozone. I have this on my bedroom windows and if 5% tint isn't enough you can tint the window twice and have a double layer of 5% tint. Works perfectly for me
Linus making his employees upgrade his house is hilarous.
Guys he finally made it
This linus guy really knows tech, he should start a tech company
You're not gonna believe this...
Maybe he should call it Linus Computer Hints
@@louisp8561 i would recommend linus media inc.
He should start giving tips too.
Call it something like Linus Technology Techniques or something.
Dan and Jamie are awesome. Definitely my favourite people that have appeared on LTT so far.
Yeah, a home theatre was always a dream of mine too, I built mine in the basement, only a 1080p 100" screen, but all for under $600. Waiting till 4k projectors are cheaper. I replaced my 50" 720p plasma though, so it was a huge upgrade.
Suggestion: Next time, if there is one, cover the walls with 3/4 inch plywood then drywall. Easy mounting for anything. No need to find studs or use anchors
It's a great idea.
True that! It's getting more common over in my country, just because it makes it so much easier to work with.
We just bought a house and I'm going slightly the other way. Cut plywood to be smaller than the TV, but big enough that it spans three studs. Bolt the plywood to the three studs with three screws each, paint it, then bolt the tv to the plywood in exactly the position you want. A little less elegant than plywood behind the drywall, but works great for a quick fix.
that could make the wall to rigid and cause to much echo in the room.
@@MrHakisak this is the wildest comment I’ve ever read

I nearly peed myself laughing at that.
We used a laser level once during my old job as an assistant IT tech at a school, and we were warned about safety so thoroughly that I'm tensed up watching it left on and everyone wandering about the room facing towards it.
Congrats on the dream come true! A home theater room is the one extravagance I'd really love too. Mainly because in the summer I often find myself waiting for it get dark enough to watch a movie 😆
My uncle had a theater room like this when I was a kid, in his previous house I played Call of Duty BO1 Zombies on it and it freaking awesome. This video was really interesting and nostalgic for me.
"Jesus Christ Dan, that's dark" lmfao Dan has the perfect deadpan delivery
Indeed.
I think thats what makes him so damn hilarious; extremely dry wit, and a complete deadpan delivery.
It wasn't funny at all though
@@The_Keeper plus very knowledgeable about a number of key subjects. I can see him doing some cross over with the labs potentially.

20:56 Dan with the risk assessment skills you love to see it, is there anything he can't do?
Dan is pure gold. Great addition to the team 👍
CONGRATS BUDDY. YOU GUYS WORK INSANELY HARD. YOU EARNED IT.
Loving all the home theatre videos
They do be cool

@Don't Read My Profile Photo okay I won’t
can u do emerald kaizo run with only caterpie?
I wish we could have helped him out with this project lol
Love the house videos. I've always heard use a white screen if you have a super light controlled room. You get more brightness and therefore more contrast.
ya the grey screens are usually ambient light rejecting
Gotta say love the video, and that theater room is going to be sick. I also loved how brutally honest dan was at 18:45
Super enjoyable and inspirational. I have a 84" TV but this screen tops it in most ways.
I can imagine a couple years from now Linus finding that receiver somewhere during the next round of Intel Extreme Upgrade
🤣
If I had a dollar for every time Linus said "TECHNICALLY we could...in the future. But we don't NEED to...", I could buy his house.
Good choice on the projector mount..
I love real talk with Dan and Jamie we need more of that shenanigans.
Jake calling Linus just "tips" made me so happy for some reason 3:40
When hanging things centered horizontally, always go with the golden ratio for the vertical dimension. Tends to “float” things very well
Can you explain this more? Really intrigued by this notion.

Top Gap to Bottom Gap ratio of 1:1.61 is my guess.
@@robertmouse3782 other way
I'm SO jealous of the home theatre room I've wanted one for ages myself. Only I'd never have gone for a white screen. The image quality is amazing but the blacks would seem richer with a grey, silver or black screen. personally I'd prolly go silver but they tend to be used when you don't have so much extra lumens so a black or grey would probably be best. Would be cool to have a follow up where you get a couple of screen and to a comparison. Sounds like an video I'd watch for sure!
Actual movie theaters also have curtains that adjust aspect ratios. It helps a lot with light spillage
During the demo everyone’s smiling and excited and Dans just sitting back there like yep what else is new lol
Man i love watching these, the interactions with the crew is fun. Seeing Daddy Linus rangle everyone around is refreshing. Love that Theatre Room!
That projector legitimately looks amazing even through TH-cam and my phone. I didn’t realize they were so good!
Hacent been on a scooter for 8 years now, but now me and my daughter sit and watch these old edits
*Measure twice, cut once.*
Tim the Toolman Taylor: *Never measure, cut yourself.*
Linus the Techman Sebastian: *Sounds good!*
16:02 Dan, about to geek out over components, and being immediately cut off is a mood.
