DIY Projector Screen & Home Theater Setup!

2017-09-20
so when I was a kid I had one of those super cool little tiny CRT TVs ah with the built-in VCR and what I would do is whenever my parents were not looking or I was sick or whatever is I also had a bunk bed so I would grab an extension cord that TV and my Super Nintendo and some blankets and I'd built myself like a little bunk bed home theater so when LG showed me their probiems projector and wanted to sponsor a project I immediately went why don't we bring that concept into the 21st century so check this out right now it's just an ordinary bunk bed but by the end of this video it's gonna be a theater let's get everything we need for the project together Pro beam projector and then I want an Intel look do you want the gaming one or the regular one gaming one perfect good choice so arguably what I could have done was gone on to a projector screen size calculator but that's not the lightest Actives way so what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna take a sacrificial blanket I'm gonna see how big of a screen we need it's kind of where you would want to watch like right there okay you got that okay little man you got a you got yeah there we go so we're gonna do a classic haul video here we got a shelf uh we got a vinyl blind just a pretty cheap one twelve millimeter thick though we've got some melamine finishing tape junk in case we have to make our own shelf we've got some brackets in case we have to make our own shelf cuz this one's pretty borderline and we got some Plasti Dip to do like a black border around it DIY projector screen baby just want to protect your screen what you need to do is you need to have a black frame around the image area so because we're just using a cheap vinyl blinds from the hardware store we need to create our own so we've got some straight spray on rubber stuff we've got some masking tape we've got a measuring tape and we've got our vinyl blood ah I used to go on a lot every year okay so that's a problem sorry honey we're not actually playing hockey right now I'm trying to cut a thing and I'm using the nets to hold it up seems sturdy it says to turn it to 400 but this is just like cotton wool so great I've never done this before but the instructions make it sound fairly straightforward I just wrap it right around nope that just broke it it just broke off shelf construction done okay so we're still waiting for paint to dry which means now's as good a time as any to throw in some we actually got wow this is 32 gigs of ram into our neck and hope this hasn't it OS on it already it's a 950 pro 512 gigas SD Hey all right rock on automatically prompts for a new input and because my OCD requires it you're plugged into HDMI one cool is that dope is it sick is it sweet yeah it's a straight pimp okay so this is like definitely not the most professional way to mount a projector so let's kind of all right okay out okay can you take the wait you can't oh now it's stuck here oh oh oh oh I'll be right back no you don't for the amount of weight Hey looking pretty good hey there we go so you know what we're just gonna run those down there that's not too bad actually okay that's better than I thought it might go it only takes one bad rip right now to completely ruin it though this is the moment of reckoning right now perfect no functional let's find out can you hold this here for a sec oh I gotta sit the wall if I stand right in the middle here is that better so you can see all four corners and if you adjust the projector make sure it's still perpendicular to the wall to notch this Intel oh shoot I just spent the last 10 minutes fighting with my little propped up thing and trying to put stuff under the feet because there's only two settings auto Keystone on or Auto Keystone off didn't realize that you can fine-tune it boom you're done it's perfect I'm not gonna lie I did not come up with a more permanent mounting solution for these audio engine a two pluses because our original speakers didn't end up working and because I really wasn't sure if this would end up being that great of a solution so I'm like super excited on this right now LG's Pro beam is a small sleek i shaped engine powered
