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.

@David Mander BRO, you just typed "your" instead of "you're". You can talk to me about "talking properly" when you learn the basics of the English language.
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
I came here knowing nothing......and now I know everything. You've helped me with my PowerPoint I'm making to my husband on why we need one. You've helped my case immensely with the technical...😅
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 TH-cam worth the effort. Thank you and please don’t stop making these informative videos.
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.
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.
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!
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!
I’m on my 2nd projector setup... I went from a ceiling mount BenQ 1080P matched to a motorized and tensioned 100” screen to a Optoma Ultra short throw 1080p matched to a 92” screen at my new house. I almost Have a complete 7.2 surround sound completed. I do have LED kit and I added a few DJ lights for a amazing light show when I listen to music!
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 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!
Dude, Im looking to get a projector and have watched an inordinate amount of videos. Your's are my favorite. You are providing a great service here. Thank you.
Thank you for breaking it down! I'm looking into turning our bonus room into a theater room in the next year and your videos are a BIG TIME help! There is so much to know and I want to make sure I get it right
I was thinking of a projector for a home theater as we finish our basement. I've read reviews and was going to buy a screen and projector based on the few things I've read. Your videos have been extremely helpful. In fact I've changed course on what I thought would be our best options. You may have saved me a considerable amount of time and money as well. There just isn't enough information given to customers by employees at big box stores or by posters online who may have questionable information and recommendations. Thanks for contributing. Its people like you who make the internet what it was intended to be. A hub for sharing information freely to make life better for all. If I should see you out in the world expect a beer to be put on my tab
Beautiful Theater setup, Right now i have a unfinished basement and am going to be using your set up as a guide to complete mine just with some of my finishing touches. Very clean i love it.
hi !! can you recommend me some projector models that can with 400inch screen for about 3000$? I want to show movies outdoors at night? with BenQ HT5550 is it possible? thank you very much ! please !!!
@@hero_bop I use the 5050ub with a 200' screen but inside only. No complaints with the quality, being I know how to get the most out of it using the advanced settings. Not sure how it will fair with 400' outside. You're gonna need a lot of throw space.
I dont know you Chris. I never heard about you. But I am an upcoming projector owner, and the fact that during my research I see this video uploaded 7 hours ago is both creepy, yet amazing. Fresh information is the best. Though this video just kind of convinced me that I'm fine using my freshly painted smooth white wall. Though maybe I'll need to turn down brightness because a pitch black room becomes well lit when the projector is running.
This was a great video. If you ever revisit the topic, maybe cover black screens as well! We custom built a 45”x80” frame with black projector fabric from Rose Brand. We tried out two blacks and a gray, and ended up with Boost 122 IFR. It’s a bit wooly, like duvatyn, but it gave us an analog dithering that renders everything very film-like, and is super ALR for daytime viewing.
I would just like to say thank you your video was a great help. I have recently upgraded to a projector and now was looking at getting a better screen as I wasn’t too happy with the cheap one I got and after watching your video. I think I have all the info I need. Thanks
I made my first 94" DIY screen using a sheet of white 1/4" thick Gatorboard, which is like foamcore, but stiffer, harder and more dent resistant. I made a 1x4 wooden frame and wrapped it in black velvet. It worked great. I remember comparing it to a professionally made screen at the time, and could tell no difference.
I constantly re watch your videos to reassure myself I'm doing the right thing LOL. So the general rule of thumb is gray screens are better for most cases.
Wow! Switching over from oled to a short throw projector is more complicated than I thought. I was about to order the VAVA short throw projector until I came across this video.
I have an ultra short throw projector, I have a windowless cinema room. Do I need a alr or clr projector screen or can I just get a regular white one that is cheaper?
Excellent video as always, great information for anyone thinking about getting a projector. I have a 100 inch manual pull down screen because I couldn't decide on a motorized 120 inch screen, it was supposed to be temporary but I'm 2 years in now
Thank goodness you made this video. I was about to purchase a 100" screen only bc my projector could cast a 100" image. Did not realize due to where this will be permanently sitting, there was something called throw projection, which will have my screen size at roughly 60". I would have had way too much blank screen real-estate. (Thanks for the calculator) Also had never heard of gray screens, or that they were better for contrast on cheaper projectors. I'm getting the Samsung Freestyle so I fall into the 'budget' projector that would likely look better w a gray screen. Thx!
I’m just someone with a pipe dream to one day own a projector setup and this seems like a ton of stuff you have to get right when you buy or you’re wasting your money. It’s very intimidating.
Dude, You did the absolute best review I have seen. You explained almost every single detail that I could think of and more. I still can't figure out what screen & projector is the best for me so, I'm just going to buy the same set up that you have (screen & ST projector) and call it a day. 😆 🤣 😂
Thank you. Fantastic breakdown of all information required. What screen would you recommend for a perfectly dark dedicated cinema room paired with a Hisense C1 projector?
Great video. I'm looking to get the same projector and am a bit conflicted about which screen to get. The room is light controlled, but has white walls. It seems I have to choose between the risk of hot spots, low brightness or poor black levels. PS. IMO the ambilight needs to go. It may add a sense of immersion on a small TV, but it doesn't do anything good for a 135" screen.
I think it's time to get an update on your theatre Chris. Looks like you've got some new speakers. Awesome video, I wish I had this video like 3 years ago, but I was able to figure all of this out on my own with 100's of hours of research!
Hey this is a really amazing video. I've been planning for a while now for a projector and plan to get started this month and this video was very helpful, informative, direct, etc.
Bro i went through 100 videos on what kind of projector to get i seen your other video and bought after watching your video. Now im trying to see wat kind of screen to get. Your videos are very helpful my boi💯
Honestly, super video man, straight to the point and some really useful information here... I'm exactly in this situation so I'll probably watch this video a couple of times during the few months ;) Thanks Chris
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.
@David Mander Yep and you are my son. Go to sleep. Me and mom have plans tonight.
Seriously. I just watched the whole video!
Irk!!??? Im not in the market for one either and I watched the whole video like oooo aaaaaahhh...this dude is awsome

So helpful and comprehensive! Thank you for making this video!
I had no idea the amount of variables involved with getting the desired result. Quite comprehensive. Great video
Excellent info. Thanks Chris. Everybody loves Chris...LOL.
This is a great primer for more than just projection screens. As usual, great work!
Beautiful Theater setup, Right now i have a unfinished basement and am going to be using your set up as a guide to complete mine just with some of my finishing touches. Very clean i love it.
I'm really really interested in the tutorial for the LED torture experience. I need it pls.

It's coming this week. Look out for it
The CLR 3 screen size is actually 123".....not 121" as specified in one of the clips.

Good advice. I like the idea of getting the projector first so you can determine screen size later. Very helpful. Thanks.
You are such a great teacher... I hope you are able to put your skills to use in whatever you do!
New favorite go to channel for all my home theater questions. 💯
Man how did you know that I was looking for this video this week...lol.
Thanks.
Same here are you going with 16:9 or 2.35?
@@mibz1117 16:9 as it's more common. What about you?
@@segelburgess2136 16:9 as well

Thank you so much, you earned yourself a like and a sub, btw your editing is amazing!
I'm looking for one and this is very informative
BenQ HT2050. Nice! I've had this projector for 4 years now and the picture still blows me away.
Thank you! I'm a designer and requests from a projector have been common, really helpful!
Wonderful tutorial! I've learned so much in 13 minutes!!! Thank you!
This guy can make anyone buy anything, I want a projector now
I can't afford any of this stuff, but I'm watching because your videos are so nicely presented and informative. Keep killing it.
I constantly re watch your videos to reassure myself I'm doing the right thing LOL. So the general rule of thumb is gray screens are better for most cases.
Chris, What a great informative video! Your way of explaining each piece of equipment is outstanding. Thank you
great video and I'm wondering if you'd be able to tell me which screen would match My LG HU810PW projector best
You stuff has been Insanely helpful in planning my home theatre. Thank you!
i was just looking at a projector review when i saw your vid in the recommendations and i gotta say this is so helpful
Wow! Switching over from oled to a short throw projector is more complicated than I thought. I was about to order the VAVA short throw projector until I came across this video.
Essential video. Should have done years ago like you said.
Will save this for my next media room setup
Beautifully explained and well made. Kudos mate.
Wow! Now I understand why it took so long to discuss screens 😳 So much to consider.
Great video details. Back to my LCD tv I will go.
great video bro, everything in a nutshell. Thank you so much
This is great, we are new to this, and this will help us get the right screen.

What brand is it?
Excellent video!!! Very informative!! Love the website for throw distance. Thank you
I cant wait for the led video! :)
Great vid man, thanks! That ambi-light set up is sick too!
Outstanding video, keep up the good work!
Great, another excellent video. Now i have a more clearly vision of my home cinema project
i didn't even know this was as important lol. amazing work! really enjoy all your content.
Great video! You killed it! Excellent job! 😀🎬🍿

Best explanation with great examples.
A lot of efforts

Holy crap that was informative, now the hard part applying what I learned to browse amazon and buy a decent screen (wish me luck)!!
Did you find one?
Ty for the video...Also, you gave me so many ideas with your Tshirt. I just made one using my Echo tank printer with a Star Wars comic book cover.
This is so well explained. Liked, subscribed.
Simply amazing. Awesome job!
Great guide for an absolute beginner with 0 knowledge in projection
You are one informed individual Bro. Great job and Thank you.😊👍

Thanks for taking the time and effort to produce this..as usual informative and well presented 👍👍
Great explanation, Chris. Very thorough and precise and easy to understand. Thanks for posting this. Sweet home theater setup you've got there, too!
