Mark Rejhon's Classic Home Theater From 2000
My classic CRT projection home theater from Year 2000! Formerly located in my old condo in Ottawa, Ontario of good 'ol Canada! As you can see, it's not a dedicated home theater room - the same L shaped room is used as a living room, dining room, and a home office as well. The home office behind the sofa has also received new furniture as well! The speakers are not pictured in these photos - they are below the screen near the floor.
The projector was an NEC XG135 MultiSync CRT Projection Monitor. It behaved just like a gigantic computer monitor that was also HDTV compatible. Notice that the projector is primarily driven by a Home Theater PC (HTPC) for all television and DVD needs, instead of a line doubler or scaler. The HTPC was powered by a GeForce256 video card for the best possible progressive scan DVD picture at reasonable prices - some people say the picture rivals a Faroudja line quadrupler. I played DVD at an "oddball" 1440x800 resolution at 120Hz refresh. For more information, check out the Home Theater Computers Forum Forum at AVSFORUM, which I used to moderate in years 1999 and 2000. I still post there from time to time!
