So to avoid the "big black spot" effect on the wall caused by 75" or larger TVs (which is still better than the sight of sofas turned for no reason towards a blank white wall) you decided to put a TV stand where there is no TV and spice up the grey/brown living room with grey/brown "DIY paintings" on that blank wall to enhance its character? All this to create an audio/visual system that has worse picture quality than a 15 year old TV and can only be used in pitch black or by bringing in Bluetooth speakers from another room? After years of watching you and seeing how well you solved problems in your London flat, and for other people around the world with their flats - I am shocked that someone can be so "helpless" with their own fairly simple to arrange living room.
I have the living room arranged so that the sofa points out a window, and then i have a blind on the window that functions as a projector screen. So when im not using it, its a beautiful view of the garden :)

I have a 65" Samsung Frame, it looks beautiful and cost less than a top of the line tv / OLED tv. Its amazing for my bright room because of the matte display. I've had people come in to my house and genuinely ask me why I dont have a tv so I'd say its definitely pretty convincing. The solution in this video is good but I reckon most people should just go for a Frame TV in this situation.

We'll have to accept TVs as part of our lifestyle at some point. Unless someone can afford a separate TV room it is part of the living room no matter what!
I agree, tv doesn't bother me at all. People can't stand the black, flat, ractangle surface of tv, yet they don't mind white, flat surface of a wall, or brown, flat, rectangle surface od a table🤔.
Avoid spending $2200 dollars on a Frame TV by spending $2800 on a short throw projector and $1350 on a screen? I guess it is a slightly bigger picture... I'd really like the projector to be viable, but I think I will have to go with frame sadly
@@o__c There are cheaper projectors, they just don’t look as nice or sit neatly under the wall. Ours was about 500€, I think really it’s for giving presentations, the sound is rubbish and we have to use a google chromecast dongle. It works for us though and sits on a shelf behind the sofa or you can fix it to the wall/ceiling.
Just wanted to point out though that the kind of ALR screen you showed (at 5:03) is a lenticular screen which doesn't actually reject light from 'every direction except below', it only rejects light coming from the top. A fresnel ALR screen however would indeed reject light from all directions except below, but gives you a narrower viewing angle (i.e. only right in front). And so I'm guessing your current setup doesn't actually reject light from the windows, which is likely the reason the image is still somewhat washed out in the day (at 5:12)
I have a 65" Frame and it 100% is worth the price tag (it was 1200€). Cheaper than this solution, better image quality and experience overall, and the buying art thing is not really a problem since you have like millions of copyright free images and art online which you can download easily and display on your tv. Or you can pay an artist like $50 do draw you a 4K image to your liking. Or you could do it yourself the way you did the canvas. + do you really want to watch the news on a 100" screen? At 4:03 you clearly show that the recommended size for a mixed usage is actually 60" for a distance of 8ft, and with a small child you should not have a 100" screen right in their face IMO.
In my opinion, the size of the wall art could be improved. It is generally recommended to choose artwork that is 2/3 to 3/4 smaller than the dimensions of your furniture and hanging it between 6-12 inches above the top of the furniture. The ideal spacing between multiple artwork is 3-6 inches.
I absolutely love all your videos, thank you so much for that. I feel you could have gone bigger on the large painting and also your floor rug go larger, just an observation and only my eye. Thanks again for all your work, you rock ❤️
I love your solution for the video watching. A good piece of art is more than matching some thing to your sofa, but I understand your budgetary restraints, and admire your gun ho approach. I would do it yourself. i’m not sure where you’re living, but there are many talented artists in many places, and maybe supporting a young artist would be a good thing❤
I liked the idea (and that is what this channel is great for) and then saw the price! Another solution is on Lone Fox. He installed his screen in a cabinet drawer and pulled it up to clip in front of the shelves above. Looked great, budget friendly and could easily be adapted to minimalist decor!
What is the total budget? Are you happy with the projector? I find the white box of the screen more disturbing than the white wall but it could be solve quite easily.
Here’s an idea……. Hang whatever tv size you want on the wall, then put curtain rails on the roof. And get nicely textured curtains from roof to floor. Close them, covering the tv when not in use and open them manually or motorized when you want to watch tv. If done right it looks luxurious if done wrong. It looks tacky. It’s also way cheaper than the projector and that screen.
The image looks awful, I'm sorry to say that. Even a 10 yrs LED TV which is less than $500 has a much better image. A frame TV would've looked way nicer, plus who cares about 80-100w power consumption when idle. It's basically a penny an hour
I wish I had seen this prior to my dropping serious coin on my new projector setup. I never looked into the rising screen technology and now wish I had. For me, watching film being projected is a far richer and immersive experience than any TV can deliver. Your solutions are brilliant.
Feels incomplete, maybe it's just the lack of frames.I was expecting a bigger artwork horizontal and proportionate to the media console. But what matters is that you are happy with it.
A big blackout blind over the window resolves the bright light problem, doesn't occupy a wall, and does mean your sofa is facing the view out the window when you're not using television. I'd also go for a ceiling mounted projector on the far side of the room .. roller blinds, like stud framed walls, are also often not perfectly flat, and the projection being close to perpendicular to the surface will help with this.
Grey in Nature is almost depressing. It appears when there is no sun. Generally when the snow is dirty and melting, or after horrific rainfall. Have you noticed he mostly speaks in monitone and his clothes blend in with the walls. His apartment is neat and tidy, but strangers must find it changes their personality after spending some time in it. I wonder if anyone has hardily laughed in their home. But that's the great thing about humans. We are all the same, yet so different! That's not a bad thing.
IDEA: print your favourite photos on your phone and display them. IKEA frames are relatively cheap People take so much photos yet don’t do anything with it (and pay extra for cloud storage) Print them people. That’s what people used to do back then
A cabinet to completly hide the screen when not in use with a recessed slot for the projector, a motorized shade on the window next to the screen, a good pair of speakers and I'm sold. It can't get any more convenient for rentals.
Love the ingenuity on show. Planning my home cinema and thinking of hacking an ikea besta with the ust on a motorised platform so it can sit lower and further back from the console when turned on, but not eating up space when off or sitting too high up on the unit and creating a sub optimal viewing height
Those projectors for a living room with windows are the most stupid choice one could make. Also, for a minimalist, the fact that you need the projector and the enormous (although white) box for the screen, is kind of funny. Let’s face it: this is your worst choice ever. I usually like most of your ideas, but this one is just ridiculous.
When you hide the screen (and projector) inside a cabinet it is a really clean solution and nothing permanent as i understand you’re renting your place, but i wouldn’t call it cheap 😊 I contemplated an UST but it would block my center speaker so went with a ceiling mounted projector and a motorized 120” ALR screen which i hid in a false ceiling. My walls and ceiling are white with a large window to the right of the screen so a normal white screen would totally wash out the image. This screen drops down in front of a Samsung 65” the frame tv. Nice art to look at, watch streaming services on tv or go with the full experience of the projector (that means movies and F1) Best of both (or should i say three) worlds
I watched this video thinking it was a brilliant idea. I thought cheaper than a frame tv, ill definitely get one. But it's not? It's a lot more expensive.. But i did do a similar set up in my first house, 10 years ago. It was a quarter house and the projector screen pulled down from the ceiling.
Looks tidy.the one thing that kept putting me off these screens where the black section at the bottom when screen is up.then found out on another video is that they are to hide speakers behind so it gives it more of a cinema type feels.i would definitely get soundbar that is passive that needs a separate amplifier to power it.there are some long ones but very expensive
this is an ad. awful image quality and when its turned off, the living room still looks unfinished. Stupid idea but hey, gratz on getting free stuff. also battery powered speakers- huge lol.
Meanigful art like that really beats cheap IKEA prints. I have some old maps and a framed movie poster or two, but most of the artwork on my walls were painted by my grandpa and it feels so special
you really feel the final result looks good for a concealed tv room? the giant projector, the huge expensive retractable screen and the ugliest speakers ive seen look like a nice hidden tv room to you?
Hi bro. What is the best lighting for TH-cam video shooting under $250 from Amazon? If possible, what kind of lighting did you use in this video? Thank you.
You can use the back of the pieces of art as amplifiers! They may be some amplifier panels that comes directly with some sort of art in the front, just like some soundproof panels. That way you don't have to sacrifice your aesthetic! (Hope you understand, English is not my first language)
i’m lucky to have a home with a theater (150” scope screen, 7.2.6 dolby atmos audio) but all the other rooms in our house have samsung frame tv’s. they get a lot of flack but they are amazing.
Being worried by the energy consumption of the frame TV while using a projector with a light bulb that consumes far more energy. And I am sorry but, even though TVs on the wall don't look the best, they look better than projector screens.
This is a neat solution if you're absolutely conviced on getting a projector. But honestly, projectors loose all of their functionality unless you're in a very dark room. A living room will never really be suitable for it.
I find that setup fantastic, great way to hide the project sytem, however, i am not a fan of your audio situation. I would honestly recommend putting a vintage hifi system on your cabinet and having traditional but really nice looking speakers. New audio items look harsh while vintage systems look really nice in a setup like you have. And some speakers look really nice.
"Percieved skill level required to make abstract shapes on a canvas is quite low" I have to say I'm quite surprised at your comment. I wouldnt think that a low blow to the art world is something that wouldn't come from one of your videos. Mass produced wall decor yes, but an original artwork from an artist shouldn't be lumped into that sentiment
these type of paintings are mostly always mass produced. If it would be real fineart, a painting would need to cost several grand and couldn't be bought of a website like a poster
I like your solution but I'd rather have a good, clear image at a smaller scale (and smaller price point)... I like textile art so maybe I could make a tapestry that goes over a screen instead 😊
I like the screen setup, but wouldn’t those speakers have signficiant audio delay because of the bluetooth connection? I think you could have a bit more in the audio department.
Wait, Daniel! As a fine art major with work in museums, before you put frames around your work, they aren't done yet! Hear me out. Acrylic is an inferior paint. There are plasticizers and softeners that lower the pigment to vehicle ratio which gives acrylic paintings a low rent look. Instead, use your acrylic as an under paint and use oil paint over the top. Oil paint has a far higher pigment to vehicle ratio, which gives oils gravity and presence that acrylics simply don't have, hence why the best paintings in the world are made from oils and not acrylics. Even the great minimalist paintings of Agnes Martin, when she switched from using oil to acrylics in her old age, went from being bracing and mesmerizing to merely decorative. You could set up a makeshift studio outside on your balcony when the weather is warm and there's no rain in the forecast. So far, these paintings have been the only fault in your peerless thinking. Stay awesome.
I’ve been struggling with the same dilemma for ages now, but decided to bite the bullet this Black Friday with a 55 inch Frame TV. Forget 100 inch immersiveness, I’m prioritizing the aesthetic of having a nice smaller frame in my living room
People need to resign to the fact that if you watch TV you need a room to do said activity so let your TV be a tv. I am lucky though i have an open plan space which has a lounge room with no TV and a rumpus room where the TV lives. I could have easily put a TV in both spaces but that's the compromise, not having the ugly television in one of the spaces.
While the art is good, the two pictures on the wall definitely looks incomplete. I think you need at least one more, and they need to be rearranged. Other than that, brilliant!
Get some colour in Daniel. I would recommend even bigger art pieces. Go out and see what local artists are doing where you are. Invest on sth wonderful, since you are saving so much by being frugal in other areas. Art is forever.
A normal TV and a curtain for the whole wall coupled with a light frame couch or floor pillows in front of it would give more functionality and better image quality. You can even make an L with a window curtain to look more organic. The projectors image quality is still far from a real TV even with the lights off.
I think I am only one more of these full length ad videos away from unsubscribing. Nothing about these videos is relatable. You’re getting thousands of dollars worth of products for free and then saying how “anyone” could pursue this course of action. Out of touch. Sorry
TBH I think a regular TV would looked better in terms of image quality and the space used was about the same. The hidden part and the art wasn't really needed
This is a pretty cool setup but every time I see a video like this, I'm wondering why noone is building (or even selling) a way to hide a TV instead of using a retractable projector screen. A TV simply has a lot of advantages over a projector setup. First and foremost, it's cheaper; these days you can buy ~85" TVs for very cheap and even if you go all out and buy the best TV (with the best picture quality available on any display device in the world expect professional mastering monitors (which are tiny)) currently available on the market, the Sony A95L in 77", it will run you around 4500 bucks - which is still cheaper than the best short throw projectors and a good ALR screen. You certainly don't have to go that far though, there are way cheaper TVs, which still offer a far superior image quality than a projector. This gets me to the second (and for me personally the most important) point: the picture quality. The picture quality - even in a pitch black room - of a good TV is simply far better than any projector setup. The only ones that can rival today's top of the line TVs are the current top of the line projectors from the likes of Sony or JVC, which will run you anywhere from 15K to 25K paired with a screen that tiself costs more than a flaggship TV. Even if you have the cash, you have to live with a lot of downsides: if you want to get this - almost as good as a top of the line Oled - performance, you'll have to get a regular (not ALR to improve the watching experience during the day) screen and you'll have to darken your room (paint at least the front walls black) to reduce light scattering and it still has to be mounted somewhere on the ceiling. Watching during the day with such a setup is not possible at all - which is kinda my third point: daylight watching is sooo much better with a TV - even an Oled - than with any projector setup! So if that's something you do often, definitely get a TV. So all in all a TV is just by far the best (and cheapest) solution for the vast majority of people and rooms. If you don't like the look of a giant black rectangle occupying the living room (which I totally understand), why not simply hide it? I really don't get why there aren't any constructions to hide TVs. We used to have media walls, where the TV was embedded in, why don't we do this anymore? Sure modern TVs are way larger but they are also way thinner so it's way easier to hide them in a more modern way. I'm neither an architect nor am I particularly interested in interior design but even I can think of a couple of pretty easy ways to hide a TV when it's off. The easiest solution would probably be to wall mount the TV and mount one of these wall hanging shelves right above it with some kind of painting/art printed or painted on some kind of fabric or canvas attached to the underside, weighted on the end with maybe a wooden stick which you can let hang over the TV when it's not used or roll up and lay it onto the shelve when watching. You could also build a wooden frame for the sides to make it look more like a unit - voilà a pretty easy to build and very cheap way to hide the black rectangle. Sure that will still dominate the room visually but it will certainly look nicer than a black rectangle. If want to to take it a step further you could also build a fake wall from top to bottom (I guess it wouldn't have to reach all the way to the sides left and right depending on the room) which would look even better. This could still be doable in a rented apartment albeit with quite some more effort (still not very expensive though). That's something I'd expect to see from an interior design/architecture channel like this not just the 0815- way of buying a UST projector with a retractable screen... Impo, there is only one reason for a setup like he showed here and that's if you like to look outside the window when not watching TV - for that application a setup like this really makes sense since incorporating a TV into such a room setup would be very difficult and expensive (albeit not impossible for example with a ceiling mount or a TV that's retractable into the TV furniture/floor).

Thank you for making a video of this! I've been dreaming of creating exactly this setup since your first video on the Formovie, and it's amazing to see you actually do the same and create a video on it!
If dull, uninspiring, insipid, limp, monotonous and depressing is the look you were going for, then you well and truly succeeded. “Architects” like yourself are the reason for the stark decline in artistry and workmanship. You literally made a video about a 3-5000$ projector & a 1500-3000$ screen never once uttering the word “budget” when describing them but the moment it came to paying for art, all you could afford was to spread some goop onto canvas because, you know, budget. The word Architect has both “Art” and “Tech”. The point at which art meets the technology of the time when made apparent in its realized resonant manifest is called Architecture. You on the other hand exemplify its stark contrast: an untalented, unskilled individual who fills his walls with ugly defaced canvases and is so unartistic that he calls them beautiful. Appalling really.
Yeah that’s a no for me. The money spent on just the projector and screen would’ve been more than enough for a fantastic setup for that size of lounge room and befitting your needs (considering you dont seem to care much about video nor audio quality anyway). And two linked bluetooth speakers? Why not a soundbar? Those come in many sizes and price points. Top it off with that absolutely condescending comment on perception of low skill level for producing abstract art, THEN mounting two awkwardly sized and incredibly boring gray rectangles. Stick to space planning, please. This was an incredibly disappointing video from a channel I used to love. Unsubscribed.
My living room TV wall is kinda divided into two segments because of the radiator, I have to choose which side my TV should be mounted, which is annoying. This could be the solution to combine them into one!
I disliked the video. Honestly. What’s wrong with having 92 inch TV on the wall. Enough with gimmicks. Would rather to have this than some disproportionately sized art. I understand you had to make video about this projector but like come on. There are some nice very flat TVs of a large size at affordable prices that look really nice.
if you can afford an expensive projector with an equally expensive projector screen, you should invest in „expensive“ art as well. but I get that this is basically an ad for the projector screen.
Meh. How about what are those 2000 photos doing on your phone? Get them printed and display them People love taking photos yet look at them once or twice. It takes up most of the space in your phone
An exposé on the mind's incredible capacity for self-persuasion.

The image looks awful, I'm sorry to say that. Even a 10 yrs LED TV which is less than $500 has a much better image. A frame TV would've looked way nicer, plus who cares about 80-100w power consumption when idle. It's basically a penny an hour
It's an Ad, darling
That’s enough energy to drive 5000km per year. It’s not nothing.
I wish I had seen this prior to my dropping serious coin on my new projector setup. I never looked into the rising screen technology and now wish I had. For me, watching film being projected is a far richer and immersive experience than any TV can deliver. Your solutions are brilliant.
Look at a bang & Olufsen speakers like a beosound stage sound bar. I’m sure you will appreciate their design as well as their sound quality.
Feels incomplete, maybe it's just the lack of frames.I was expecting a bigger artwork horizontal and proportionate to the media console. But what matters is that you are happy with it.
So you didn't build anything, you just got a motorized screen for advertising.
A big blackout blind over the window resolves the bright light problem, doesn't occupy a wall, and does mean your sofa is facing the view out the window when you're not using television. I'd also go for a ceiling mounted projector on the far side of the room .. roller blinds, like stud framed walls, are also often not perfectly flat, and the projection being close to perpendicular to the surface will help with this.
Grey in Nature is almost depressing. It appears when there is no sun. Generally when the snow is dirty and melting, or after horrific rainfall. Have you noticed he mostly speaks in monitone and his clothes blend in with the walls. His apartment is neat and tidy, but strangers must find it changes their personality after spending some time in it. I wonder if anyone has hardily laughed in their home. But that's the great thing about humans. We are all the same, yet so different! That's not a bad thing.
That projects costs over 2100euros where I live. If that's your budget, splurge on an incredible wall mounted TV.
IDEA: print your favourite photos on your phone and display them. IKEA frames are relatively cheap
People take so much photos yet don’t do anything with it (and pay extra for cloud storage)
Print them people. That’s what people used to do back then
A cabinet to completly hide the screen when not in use with a recessed slot for the projector, a motorized shade on the window next to the screen, a good pair of speakers and I'm sold. It can't get any more convenient for rentals.
Love the ingenuity on show. Planning my home cinema and thinking of hacking an ikea besta with the ust on a motorised platform so it can sit lower and further back from the console when turned on, but not eating up space when off or sitting too high up on the unit and creating a sub optimal viewing height
Those projectors for a living room with windows are the most stupid choice one could make.
Also, for a minimalist, the fact that you need the projector and the enormous (although white) box for the screen, is kind of funny. Let’s face it: this is your worst choice ever. I usually like most of your ideas, but this one is just ridiculous.
It's content based on possible sponsorships... All channels sooner or later become like this
When you hide the screen (and projector) inside a cabinet it is a really clean solution and nothing permanent as i understand you’re renting your place, but i wouldn’t call it cheap 😊
I contemplated an UST but it would block my center speaker so went with a ceiling mounted projector and a motorized 120” ALR screen which i hid in a false ceiling. My walls and ceiling are white with a large window to the right of the screen so a normal white screen would totally wash out the image. This screen drops down in front of a Samsung 65” the frame tv. Nice art to look at, watch streaming services on tv or go with the full experience of the projector (that means movies and F1) Best of both (or should i say three) worlds
I would love to see this Home Theater with Sonos since those aesthetics match pretty nicely
I watched this video thinking it was a brilliant idea. I thought cheaper than a frame tv, ill definitely get one. But it's not? It's a lot more expensive.. But i did do a similar set up in my first house, 10 years ago. It was a quarter house and the projector screen pulled down from the ceiling.
Greta to hear the limitations of your previous ad / product in this new ad / product. Noted, thanks 👍
Feels like an ad disguised as a video
Looks tidy.the one thing that kept putting me off these screens where the black section at the bottom when screen is up.then found out on another video is that they are to hide speakers behind so it gives it more of a cinema type feels.i would definitely get soundbar that is passive that needs a separate amplifier to power it.there are some long ones but very expensive
If Samsung started making their frame TVs with halfway-decent OLED panels, this would be such an easy project.
I love metal art on the wall. Or even Movie Posters.
I did not know you can use two soundcore that way! Won't there be any lag between the two?
The speakers look a bit mismatched and cheap, there has to be a better set of speakers and display. Would a soundbar device work instead?
this is an ad. awful image quality and when its turned off, the living room still looks unfinished. Stupid idea but hey, gratz on getting free stuff. also battery powered speakers- huge lol.
At least the title is right. Seeing those speakers, I would never guess there's a "home theatre"
hahaahahahahahahah
Daniel ive always loved ur content but that art
lmao
USM x Leica cine collection is the ultimate version of this. You're welcome.
Meanigful art like that really beats cheap IKEA prints. I have some old maps and a framed movie poster or two, but most of the artwork on my walls were painted by my grandpa and it feels so special
you really feel the final result looks good for a concealed tv room? the giant projector, the huge expensive retractable screen and the ugliest speakers ive seen look like a nice hidden tv room to you?
Can you touch on how you can keep compact living and minimalist space manageable as parents of young children?
You could make this setup even more renter friendly by mounting the screen to the back of the console rather than the wall
Cool idea, I like the art and room layout, but wow that projector and screen setup is crazy expensive.
Seriously man, the price of the projector and screen vs one frame TV
That's cool, but an average 4k projector costs about 4x what my TV does, not to mention adding the roll-up screen and extra speakers.
Hi bro. What is the best lighting for TH-cam video shooting under $250 from Amazon? If possible, what kind of lighting did you use in this video? Thank you.
You can use the back of the pieces of art as amplifiers!
They may be some amplifier panels that comes directly with some sort of art in the front, just like some soundproof panels.
That way you don't have to sacrifice your aesthetic!
(Hope you understand, English is not my first language)
i’m lucky to have a home with a theater (150” scope screen, 7.2.6 dolby atmos audio) but all the other rooms in our house have samsung frame tv’s. they get a lot of flack but they are amazing.
Being worried by the energy consumption of the frame TV while using a projector with a light bulb that consumes far more energy. And I am sorry but, even though TVs on the wall don't look the best, they look better than projector screens.
This is a neat solution if you're absolutely conviced on getting a projector. But honestly, projectors loose all of their functionality unless you're in a very dark room. A living room will never really be suitable for it.
I find that setup fantastic, great way to hide the project sytem, however, i am not a fan of your audio situation. I would honestly recommend putting a vintage hifi system on your cabinet and having traditional but really nice looking speakers. New audio items look harsh while vintage systems look really nice in a setup like you have. And some speakers look really nice.
"Percieved skill level required to make abstract shapes on a canvas is quite low" I have to say I'm quite surprised at your comment. I wouldnt think that a low blow to the art world is something that wouldn't come from one of your videos.
Mass produced wall decor yes, but an original artwork from an artist shouldn't be lumped into that sentiment
these type of paintings are mostly always mass produced. If it would be real fineart, a painting would need to cost several grand and couldn't be bought of a website like a poster
I like your solution but I'd rather have a good, clear image at a smaller scale (and smaller price point)... I like textile art so maybe I could make a tapestry that goes over a screen instead 😊
I like the screen setup, but wouldn’t those speakers have signficiant audio delay because of the bluetooth connection?
I think you could have a bit more in the audio department.
Wait, Daniel! As a fine art major with work in museums, before you put frames around your work, they aren't done yet! Hear me out. Acrylic is an inferior paint. There are plasticizers and softeners that lower the pigment to vehicle ratio which gives acrylic paintings a low rent look. Instead, use your acrylic as an under paint and use oil paint over the top. Oil paint has a far higher pigment to vehicle ratio, which gives oils gravity and presence that acrylics simply don't have, hence why the best paintings in the world are made from oils and not acrylics. Even the great minimalist paintings of Agnes Martin, when she switched from using oil to acrylics in her old age, went from being bracing and mesmerizing to merely decorative. You could set up a makeshift studio outside on your balcony when the weather is warm and there's no rain in the forecast. So far, these paintings have been the only fault in your peerless thinking. Stay awesome.
Sacrificing the TV to hang up that castrated 'art piece'
I’ve been struggling with the same dilemma for ages now, but decided to bite the bullet this Black Friday with a 55 inch Frame TV. Forget 100 inch immersiveness, I’m prioritizing the aesthetic of having a nice smaller frame in my living room
People need to resign to the fact that if you watch TV you need a room to do said activity so let your TV be a tv. I am lucky though i have an open plan space which has a lounge room with no TV and a rumpus room where the TV lives. I could have easily put a TV in both spaces but that's the compromise, not having the ugly television in one of the spaces.

While the art is good, the two pictures on the wall definitely looks incomplete. I think you need at least one more, and they need to be rearranged. Other than that, brilliant!
Get some colour in Daniel. I would recommend even bigger art pieces. Go out and see what local artists are doing where you are. Invest on sth wonderful, since you are saving so much by being frugal in other areas. Art is forever.
Why not hang the art you want, and then mount a discreet screen to the ceiling just out from the wall that you can pull down?
"Built" redefined as being given an overpriced products for promotional purposes.
I'd rather lower the budget for the TV to be able to pair it with some nice stereo speakers, like one of the KEF LS series.
A normal TV and a curtain for the whole wall coupled with a light frame couch or floor pillows in front of it would give more functionality and better image quality. You can even make an L with a window curtain to look more organic. The projectors image quality is still far from a real TV even with the lights off.
I think I am only one more of these full length ad videos away from unsubscribing. Nothing about these videos is relatable. You’re getting thousands of dollars worth of products for free and then saying how “anyone” could pursue this course of action. Out of touch. Sorry
TBH I think a regular TV would looked better in terms of image quality and the space used was about the same. The hidden part and the art wasn't really needed
Link to projector is coming up as an error. Anyone else have that problem?
TV is nicer image though imo
This is a pretty cool setup but every time I see a video like this, I'm wondering why noone is building (or even selling) a way to hide a TV instead of using a retractable projector screen. A TV simply has a lot of advantages over a projector setup. First and foremost, it's cheaper; these days you can buy ~85" TVs for very cheap and even if you go all out and buy the best TV (with the best picture quality available on any display device in the world expect professional mastering monitors (which are tiny)) currently available on the market, the Sony A95L in 77", it will run you around 4500 bucks - which is still cheaper than the best short throw projectors and a good ALR screen. You certainly don't have to go that far though, there are way cheaper TVs, which still offer a far superior image quality than a projector.
This gets me to the second (and for me personally the most important) point: the picture quality. The picture quality - even in a pitch black room - of a good TV is simply far better than any projector setup. The only ones that can rival today's top of the line TVs are the current top of the line projectors from the likes of Sony or JVC, which will run you anywhere from 15K to 25K paired with a screen that tiself costs more than a flaggship TV. Even if you have the cash, you have to live with a lot of downsides: if you want to get this - almost as good as a top of the line Oled - performance, you'll have to get a regular (not ALR to improve the watching experience during the day) screen and you'll have to darken your room (paint at least the front walls black) to reduce light scattering and it still has to be mounted somewhere on the ceiling. Watching during the day with such a setup is not possible at all - which is kinda my third point: daylight watching is sooo much better with a TV - even an Oled - than with any projector setup! So if that's something you do often, definitely get a TV.
So all in all a TV is just by far the best (and cheapest) solution for the vast majority of people and rooms. If you don't like the look of a giant black rectangle occupying the living room (which I totally understand), why not simply hide it? I really don't get why there aren't any constructions to hide TVs. We used to have media walls, where the TV was embedded in, why don't we do this anymore? Sure modern TVs are way larger but they are also way thinner so it's way easier to hide them in a more modern way. I'm neither an architect nor am I particularly interested in interior design but even I can think of a couple of pretty easy ways to hide a TV when it's off. The easiest solution would probably be to wall mount the TV and mount one of these wall hanging shelves right above it with some kind of painting/art printed or painted on some kind of fabric or canvas attached to the underside, weighted on the end with maybe a wooden stick which you can let hang over the TV when it's not used or roll up and lay it onto the shelve when watching. You could also build a wooden frame for the sides to make it look more like a unit - voilà a pretty easy to build and very cheap way to hide the black rectangle. Sure that will still dominate the room visually but it will certainly look nicer than a black rectangle. If want to to take it a step further you could also build a fake wall from top to bottom (I guess it wouldn't have to reach all the way to the sides left and right depending on the room) which would look even better. This could still be doable in a rented apartment albeit with quite some more effort (still not very expensive though).
That's something I'd expect to see from an interior design/architecture channel like this not just the 0815- way of buying a UST projector with a retractable screen... Impo, there is only one reason for a setup like he showed here and that's if you like to look outside the window when not watching TV - for that application a setup like this really makes sense since incorporating a TV into such a room setup would be very difficult and expensive (albeit not impossible for example with a ceiling mount or a TV that's retractable into the TV furniture/floor).
Ne znam...pogledao sam par njegovih video klipova... u Londonu sam vise od 30 godina...u centru grada malte ne. Ne znam nikoga da se "proveo " ovako. Imam tonu poznanika od majstora, farbara, elektricara, arhitekata pa sve do direktora velikih kompanija (sve nasi ljudi) ... svi su se lepo sredili, neki imaja i po 2 ili 3 nekretnine. kupuje se i prodaje ili iznajmljuje bez problema. Ima tu i ratnih izbeglica iz Hrvatske koji su se lepo sredili..rade privatno ili za firme..svi su se okucili. Ono sto je bitno je da je London svet za sebe. Paralelni svemir...sto bi rekli. Sve van Londona i sto dalje se ide je totalno druga prica, i ne znam da bas puno nasih zivi po tim manjim mestima. Nije sve tako lose i crno kao sto (tebi) izgleda/ Naravno...zicarosa i prevaranata i vacarosa ima na sve strane i za to treba malo znanja da se neko ne upeca i potrosi vise nego sto treba. Imao sam i ja par mortgage advisors, ali nije bilo problema...nikakvo osiguranje nisam uzimao (SVA osiguranja u Engleskoj su prevara)..mislim sve se svede na iskustvo i vreme. Mora da se prodje sve i svasta dok se ne "pokupe sve fore". Pozdrav
Video was basically a big ol ad
Yes but proojector for homes will never beat a good tv
Loooove that Pinterest worthy image … although I see the dollar signs… all over it 😅
Why do Americans always assume that everybody has walls made of drywall?
Only a very small percentage of the planet has drywall
He is a Brit living in Canada
why is it so foggy outside XD
I love that you made your own art for this setup. Such a fun progression - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making a video of this! I've been dreaming of creating exactly this setup since your first video on the Formovie, and it's amazing to see you actually do the same and create a video on it!
Nah mate, too clickbaity with this one. Also, calling it Home Theater is quite the stretch with two bluetooth speakers either side.
I love this projector idea so much!!! Thanks for sharing. We've been DIYing our art this year too and love the process and look.
The art is too grey for me, it needed some brighter colours
If dull, uninspiring, insipid, limp, monotonous and depressing is the look you were going for, then you well and truly succeeded.
“Architects” like yourself are the reason for the stark decline in artistry and workmanship. You literally made a video about a 3-5000$ projector & a 1500-3000$ screen never once uttering the word “budget” when describing them but the moment it came to paying for art, all you could afford was to spread some goop onto canvas because, you know, budget.
The word Architect has both “Art” and “Tech”. The point at which art meets the technology of the time when made apparent in its realized resonant manifest is called Architecture. You on the other hand exemplify its stark contrast: an untalented, unskilled individual who fills his walls with ugly defaced canvases and is so unartistic that he calls them beautiful.
Appalling really.
the art set up at the ends looks disappointing, why not use shelf, very hallow but still to make the wall more interesting?
Yeah that’s a no for me. The money spent on just the projector and screen would’ve been more than enough for a fantastic setup for that size of lounge room and befitting your needs (considering you dont seem to care much about video nor audio quality anyway). And two linked bluetooth speakers? Why not a soundbar? Those come in many sizes and price points. Top it off with that absolutely condescending comment on perception of low skill level for producing abstract art, THEN mounting two awkwardly sized and incredibly boring gray rectangles. Stick to space planning, please. This was an incredibly disappointing video from a channel I used to love. Unsubscribed.
My living room TV wall is kinda divided into two segments because of the radiator, I have to choose which side my TV should be mounted, which is annoying. This could be the solution to combine them into one!
Nice haircut, Daniel
Look your. Electric bills with a Samsung frame and critique later
I disliked the video. Honestly. What’s wrong with having 92 inch TV on the wall. Enough with gimmicks. Would rather to have this than some disproportionately sized art. I understand you had to make video about this projector but like come on. There are some nice very flat TVs of a large size at affordable prices that look really nice.
For once I am underwhelmed.
One day when you put tv there, you will realize how bad your picture was, and how you lost time by watching bad image
well done! youre so back in the game :D
Great video! Greetings from Argentina 👋
Waaay to complicated from my point of view. There's many ways to hide a tv in a cheaper and nicer way. But I guess this is sponsored so...
if you can afford an expensive projector with an equally expensive projector screen, you should invest in „expensive“ art as well. but I get that this is basically an ad for the projector screen.
Meh.
How about what are those 2000 photos doing on your phone? Get them printed and display them
People love taking photos yet look at them once or twice. It takes up most of the space in your phone
