I work for a custom home theater design and installation company in Orlando FL. Our work ranges from dedicated theaters, and Home Automation; to whole house audio, lighting control, etc.

About 6 months ago we completed a very large reconstruction project, and I happened to stumble on some of the photos that were taken so I thought I would share them on this forum.

The clients had a large game room/theater that they wanted to have a 100" screen. The room also doubled as a bar/billiards room, so the ambient light would always be an issues. For this reason we decided to use the Optoma 100" BigVizion (HDBV3100).

The unit arrived boxed in crates and on a pallet, and was pieced together and aligned to the screen on site.

The Optoma includes a DVDO VP50Pro video processor/scaler to handle all the video inputs and processing. Overall I was very impressed with the picture quality.

You can see the how vibrant the image is, with the lights on and drapes open, yet you still get a very good contrast. These pictures were taken with my iPhone, so they really do not do the image justice. Also, the frame was out to be painted when the pictures were taken, there is a nice frame that would normally surround the screen.

If anyone has any questions about installation, picture quality, pricing, etc, I would be happy to answer them. Like I said, we did this installation about 6 months ago, they now make this in a 80", 90", and 100" and also make a commercial model that has higher brightness and a non-reflective screen (for boardrooms, churches, etc). Runco also makes a 100" version now that they call the VideoWall, and a 95" 2.35:1 version called the CinemaWall.

Very nice. Too bad you couldn't put the three speakers across the top because of the sloping ceiling.

Thats funny that you mention that. There was actually several reasons for that (including the dreaded "designer"). I actually had to do some heavy persuading to even allow the center channel to be moved above the screen. The designer asked for all 3 to be below the screen, and I explained that you would never be able to understand any dialogue, and that it was enough comprimise to leave the L/R down. They were KEF speakers which thankfully have good on/off axis performance, but the designer also strictly wanted square speakers. One of those comprimises we had to live with, and try our best to EQ for. This wasn't an audiophile grade audio system by any means, their main priority was the large screen. As you can imagine, the room itself did not lend well to good quality sound (weird shape, wood floors, etc).

A very sweet install for sure.

Great job and thanks for sharing!

100" mirror? The mirror seems to be as large as the screen, is this a foil mirror, or some other material?

/me likes Big Ass TVs!

Were the sides of the wall closed up after these pictures were taken to keep light off the back of the screen?
