ENTERTAINMENT IN THE ALGARVE

Folks,

A pat on the back..youv\e done well in your life..worked bloody hard and have a fantastic home to show for it..5 bedrooms..swimming pool...outside barbeque...

You should be having a ball right?

Well,most people i speak to are not...there homes have become retreats of convenience for freeloading friends and family..who expect their "hosts" (entertainment servants) to perpetually keep them amused..

I have often said to folks..open up a hotel..at least you\ll earn some money!!

 Dont get me wrong,its great to see old friends and family in small doses..and lets be fair,we need an "off" button for them..:-)..or the ability quite easily to beam them back when WE are bored of having to act like a performing monkey.

So the reality is all youv\e worked for is in great part tied up in those extra three bedrooms that sit empty except when the freeloaders descend. (I mean even with a caravan in the back garden you would have SOME privacy).

There is of course another route to take...that will make you exceptionally happy and allow YOU to enjoy finally,the fruits of your labours.

Knock two of those bedrooms into one..create a fantastic Music room..or private Cine Lounge..or a library for you to read..create YOUR private space..or a family space for your immediate family not the obscure ones that have turned up SINCE youv\e aquired the house with a pool in the Algarve..(Got to be better than Rochdale rain)..

Build a shed in the garden for the visitors..or give them some sleeping bags..it aint exactly cold is it?...If they REALLY want to see you and not the pool,climate and free lunch\s they will still come..great thing is they wont stay long...

ok,i know what your thinking..isnt this a bit selfish?

Yes,,it is..but no more so than the "freebies" turning up almost potless and thinking your life stops because they have visited..

This isnt a rehearsal..this is the real thing..time is precious..dont waste it..do what YOU want..spend YOUR money how you want..

There needs to be a revolution in how we think,RIGHT from the beginning of when we plan the house..it needs to be built how YOU want it..encompassing the things that you want and love..you want a room for your train collection..do it..you may not want to sacrifice it for a bedroom just because the missus wants her sister,brother in law and three noisy kids to pop over and spill crisps all over the carpet..

Projectiondreams are dedicated to making your home the Entertainment space of your dreams ..and proud to continue to make it difficult for the freeloaders..:-)

CAN WE EXCEED IMAX CINEMA QUALITY IN THE HOME?

CAN WE EXCEED IMAX CINEMA QUALITY IN THE HOME?

Lets talk about resolution first...

Vista Vision (35mm)....1.85.1...........................................4.8K ......Theoretical max.resolution

Super Panavision.(52mm)....2.20.1..................................6.9K ..... Theoretical max.resolution

70mm........................2.76.1..............................................9.3K ..... Theoretical max.resolution

Imax...........................1.43.1-2.00.1.................................12K......   Theoretical max.resolution

Cinerama.(Inaugerated in 1952)..2.65.1..........................14.4K   ...Theoretical max resolution.

Now the screen width of Commercial Cinema screens can vary wildly from 25ft wide to 100ft.

Normal multiplexs are about 30-50ft wide.

A reasonable size for a quality home cinema screen would be 10ft wide..(Just over 3Meters)..

Now with 8K DCI commercial Cinema projectors the resolution using a 2.35.1 aspect (aka 2.39.1,2.37.1) screen would be 8192 x 3486 on an average 30ft wide screen..

8K will follow into the consumer market place in 2018 BUT onto an average 10ft wide screen.

For the first time in Movie history,the perceived resolution of an image at home with be better than an image at the Commercial Cinema.

What about brightness?

The aim is to get 16ft lamberts of brightness back from the screen in a commercial cinema.Of course with ambient lighting its closer to 12ft lamberts.

In a consumer high end Cinema using a Sony VPL VW5000ES on a 16.5ft wide screen you could expect 16ft lamberts using a 1.3 gain screen from a viewing distance of about 45ft.

This is 30% brighter on a 50% smaller screen.

What about picture dynamic?

Because you have the ability to completely darken the Home Cinema room ,less ambient light means less washing out of the picture from light reflected back onto the screen.

This means "blacker" blacks,a more punchier picture. 

Conclusion..

A quality large screen consumer setup can out perform its commercial cousin quite significantly now..in resolution..brightness and picture dynamic..

The only area it cant easily outperform its commercial cousin is in pure size.!

But even here,its perceptory to a great degree..in a room 10% of the size of a large auditorium,that 50% smaller image seems vast in the significantly smaller space.
