so without further ado....here are the pics:

You did an awesome job, and getting it up that fast is great! I bet you, and your family are loving watching movies in your new HT now! I am in ours most of the day everyday (retired), and we love having Movie Nights with some friends every week or two.

Do you watch TV on the big screen too? I watch TV, and surf the web on ours with it, but I do have to say text is not the greatest on the HT screen.

Yeah, I can understand that... I go through a bulb about once a year with my AE8000 in ECO mode (5000 hours). This is one of the reasons i would like a LED or Laser projector, but I just can't afford the cash it would cost. Watching TV shows really does change them to like mini movies though on the big HT screen vs watching them on a FP in our living room.

Text is nice and sharp on my JVC.

You might want to call and check on pricing for a laser or LED projector. We have some on closeout.
