IREPAIRS ALGARVE PLUS PROJECTIONDREAMS EQUALS CONVERGENCE!...A MESSAGE FROM VINCENT MYERS M.D.

Hello Folks,

For over 12mths Projectiondreams looked for an IPHONE/IPAD partner-the criteria was exemplary customer service,top notch skillset and awareness/future vision of the convergence aspect of these technologies.

None of the companies Projectiondreams looked at met all the criteria necessary except IREPAIRS ALGARVE.

A legitimate LDA company owned and operated by Mark Rawcliffe.

Now I knew Mark from over 6 years ago when Projectiondreams rented some shop space from him..

As a person, I knew Mark to be honest,reliable and technically very competent..indeed many moons ago I offered him a job because I knew he had all the tools to become a stirling Audio Video technician...at the time Mark turned me down...

Of course he shouldn\t have done that..like a Mountie determined to get his man our paths have converged again and Projectiondreams have incorporated IREPAIRS ALGARVE under the SERVICE 360 banner..

Indeed Mark is now handling Business Development at my new Luz showroom for not only IPHONE/IPAD repair business but all matters Audio Visual.

Anyone doubting Mark\s ability need look no further than the new Luz showroom where Mark has been heavily influential in the installation/population of said.

SO WHY HAVE YOUR PHONE/IPAD REPAIRED BY IREPAIRS ALGARVE.?

IREPAIRS ALGARVE using the SERVICE 360 ethos have completely revamped supplier chains,lead times,component prices to now be able to offer an 18mths warranty on ANY repaired item and FREE lifetime support.

Repairs are not sent away to anyone they are repaired in house at our facility in Luz where we have invested in all the repair equipment necessary to, in a lot of respects, make the IPHONE/IPAD better than before it was broken!

The service is a given,the solution where humanely possible-cost effective..

We also have a lot of special deals on older IPHONES and buy older IPHONES for fair rates.

We have a trade in policy,where lets say for example you have an IPHONE 4s with a damaged screen but want an IPHONE 5 then we shall affect the trade without costing you time or stinging you in the pocket...

BUT...there is one area where IREPAIRS ALGARVE is now unique in Portugal and NO other company can offer this in Europe..

Proejctiondreams use Bitwise control software optimal for the IPAD/IPHONE and can write custom code so you can control your a.v.,your lights..your whole house from your IPHONE or IPAD..This of course saves an absolute fortune for you and does away with that plethora of remotes..

OUR NEW LUZ SHOWROOM

Dear Folks,

Our new Luz showroom is open now...For the Western Algarve I wanted to bring the same all round mixture of quality,uniquety and price that Projectiondreams are famed for in Almancil.

This meant showing some different things from the Projectiondreams catalogue..some different concepts..some different equipment..

In the main showroom-nice and simple-the current best t.v.s from Sony Professional with the greatest warranty in Europe..3 years and a 48hrs swap out if ANY issue-and Projectiondreams are the only company allowed to sell Sony professional products in the Algarve.

Canton sound bars..the current best in the world..superb sound...

Naim hi fi systems,beautiful sounding life style products with fantastic looks!

Loewe Art t.v.\s ..built like battleships,Projectiondreams were the first in the Algarve to sell Loewe products..(Of course others have copied us now) sold with a free calibration by one of the best ISF calibrators in the world..our M.D. Vincent Myers..

Of course our three different packages of HD IPTV for every budget and our internet solutions with unique tweaked Business routers and Booster masts for those with poor internets..

The aesthetic in the main showroom is Silver screen influenced of course..with great posters and beautiful Maple woodwork,,,

Dont forget to ask to see our "Safe Room" and custom comms center....

Finishing this off we have automatic blinds,key fob alarm systems,climate control,Cameras..you name it ..all operable from an IPAD using our Bitwise programming...

...But thats not all folks!

We also have the first 14 channel Dolby Atmos THX Cinema in Portugal.(.Our second actually..the other is an 11 channel system in Almancil..)..

With our "Blackout 360" electronic door,our custom Universe Star ceiling and new model Cinema seating (..with just a nod to Bentley) the Marantz electronics and Cinema 360 media server get a chance to shine in this sound proofed,acoustically treated room enhanced by M & K Sound speakers ( Used by George Lucas to master the Star Wars movies at Skywalker ranch..)

The large 3metre wide ADEO ( parent company of Screen Research) 2.35.1 curved screen is acoustically transparent and hides the 3 x S300 M & K speakers housed in the THX baffle wall...a HUGE X12 sub complements the bass..bass you can feel as well as hear!

The sound is AWESOME..you will never have heard anything like this..circular arrangement to create a 360 degree sound field with sound above as well as to the sides and rear...

What makes it even more special is the "Flush Fit"  PANEL SYSTEM.tm..that we have patented ..the aim is no deviations in the sound field and the absolute erradication of sound reflections..

..And the picture...well it goes without saying that an ISF certified company for 16 years knows a thing or two about picture quality..and of course the brightness and picture dynamic..even the viewing distance.. is in conformance with THX picture ideals to achieve a 36 degree viewing angle...

Finally,all is controlled from the IPAD..all nice and simple...

Let\s leave the last word to our M.D...

" Many tout they can build Cinemas or Entertainment rooms-yet few can actually show the customer.

If they have attempted Cinemas, its more from an enthusiast perspective than a professional one. Projectiondreams has traded for 16 years with the same name-never an ounce of debt-never a failure..100\s of Cinemas and Entertainment rooms..we are proud of that..we are proud to show our customers what we have done,and what we can do-we walk the walk not just talk the talk..our prices are not inflated either..we are the ONLY install company that publishes the prices of their products...

in fact with our own Custom Cinema chair company and our own fabrication of acoustic panels and every element necessary in a Cinema..you deal with one company..a company of professionals that love what they do..I am exceptionally proud of the new Luz showroom and the efforts of my team to ensure that our love for Music and the Movies is apparent"

BRINGING BACK THE RESOLUTION..

Hello Folks,

In the 1950s to the 1970s,Commercial Cinema used many techniques to combat the prolific uptake of Television.

Quality was the name of the game..the Large screen experience that t.v. could not match...so great widescreen formats like Todd AO and Panavision moved aside for Cinerama at 70mm ( A theoretical resolution of 8K) with a magnetic sound track able to be played through multiple speakers..

Of course that theoretical resolution of 8K dropped down to nearer 5K once the film had undergone scanning/prints etc..

For example,Sonys restoration of Lawrence Of Arabia took the 65mm original negative and scanned on two large format 65mmImagica XE scanners at FotoKem at 8K to capture the resolution of the 65mm negative, resulting in a file size of 8192x3584 pixels. ..but it was down scanned to 4K..

Even so,it has taken almost 50 years to match this quality in the home..

But for Audio Video consumers in 2015,its great times,because for the first time ever a top consumer Cinema can equal or indeed exceed a top commercial Cinema.

Its almost the norm for Projectiondreams to install curved 2.35.1. ratio large screens above 2.5 Metres wide,11 channel audio systems now expanded to at least 14 channels with the advent of Dolby Atmos..

No longer is the consumer the poor relation,in fact the experience in the home can be far better because light can be better controlled,the image can be uniquely calibrated,the audio precisely tuned to that space..the Movie chairs can be comfier..the experience more private with nobody caughing or talking on an I PHONE behind you...

A 4K (4 times the resolution of HD) image on a 3 Metre screen from a viewing distance of upto 5 Metres can be almost holographic...speakers placed perfectly for YOUR viewing position can create a far more enveloping soundfield..techniques applied to eliminate reflections ( which are prevalent in most Cinemas)

So..more comfortable..more tuned..more enveloping both in Audio and Video terms..AND the impact of that 4K resolution on that curved screen is akin to the best ever Cinerama experience..finally..

..But talk is cheap of course..Projectiondreams prefer to prove it in either our Almancil branch or Luz branch..both THX Dolby Atmos Cinemas with large 2.35.1 ratio curved screens showing an ISF calibrated image...

Projectiondreams have brought back the top Cinema experience using the latest equipment ..and together..we have brought back the resolution...
