Arrange/Decorate my room. Also Projectors.

Postby Xaston » Wed Apr 26, 2006 1:46 pm

Basically I want my room to be as sweet as possible. I drew a CAD like drawing of it in paint. Here it is:

Image



It is all white. I need my computer desk for poker/masturbation, I need a bed for sleeping/masturbation (goodness gracious I'm funny), and aside from that I have no NEEDS. My plan was to put the bed with the headboard along the wall on the right, centered between the closet and the wall. To the left of the closet, along the wall with the window, I was going to put my desk. Over my bed there will be a bookshelf that will feature a projector, making the left hand wall essentially one gigantic television.


Do I need a screen for the projector, or will the wall work fine? Does anyone think a plasma flat panel on the wall would be better? Molina and Kuso really are making me like this projector idea. (FWIW, I worked at a second run movie theatre with 10 individual theatres in it and only theatre #3 actually had a screen. All the rest were merely white walls. Is 10 feet enough to get a clear picture? How complicated is hooking these things up to cable/DVD players?

I have a gigantic Jessica Alba poster from Sin City that can go on the wall with the door, but aside from that I really have nothing for the walls. Are there any plants that would be interesting for my room? Etc.

I couldn't find a tape measure despite know there are about 6 in our house but I think the distance between our projector and the wall is, I would guess, about 12 feet. The one we have is only a data projector that my housemate borrowed from work and doesn't need to be returned because they bought a better one.

It'll only do 800x600 resolution but is fine for DVD's, there's a zoom function so you can make the picture bigger/smaller. It's pointed at a wall that isn't properly white (dunno if it's slightly grey or mauve) and I don't know if a screen would be better. Probably not if the wall is white.

Ours has a VGA monitor input, 3 lead composite and something else that isn't scart. The sound goes through into a decent stereo. It's just a case of sticking leads into relevant sockets.
