Thought you had it all set with a 14-inch TV and an NES in your room as a kid? Then you might want to look away for a minute, lest your childhood memories be diminished. Everyone else can take a good look at this 98-inch screen that Patti Deni had installed flush in the ceiling of her son's bedroom. At the center of the setup is an NEC projector paired with some Draper projection mirrors, which fills that 98-inch StarGlas60 display with some full HD images than can be viewed from just about any angle. As you might expect, however, this wasn't exactly the easiest of installs, and apparently even involved reframing and reinforcing the ceiling. No word on any mom of the year awards just yet, but the setup itself has at least attracted the attention of Electronic House's Home of the Year awards.
i'm sure something similar to this has been said b4, and yes, i am lazy to read comments...but
masturbation has never been so easy! :D
wow, i understand mom's dont want their little boys to leave the nest, but in 20 years when he's a fat, overweight virgin with no social skills who never gets out of bed.....well, she'll be crazy enough to not notice.
This kid is going to weigh like 400lbs before they even reach middleschool.
that kid will do what ever mummy tell him to do from now on. with a gift like that he would carry out the trash with his teeth. lol. but seriously, i am jealous. that something i would put in my room, me and my girlfriend relaxing enjoying every inch of viewing pleasure.
Is she Cartman's mom?
I find ceiling/high mounted TVs to be incredibly unergonomic. My dad has a reclined TV setup and I hate it.
I did not read the article but whatever happened to climbing trees or reading a book when you are a kid? Unless the kid is a paralyzed or something this is just :(
This is nothing! You should see mine... I have an awesome 22" 8 year old tube sitting on my dresser that has part of the screen that is green in the corner. Its really cool, I swear... wait?!?
Damn! I gotta run home real quick to make sure that my bedroom TV is safe, because that sounds just like mine!
But wait, is your screen bezel cracked as well?
Why? just why? Did he invent a cure for cancer?
couldn't stay in that position while playing some playstation or watching a show for long. He'll use it about 10 minutes a day.
Id rather have that crappy bed replaced first...
i think he allready lost, his vehicle is transparent.
he chose a bad car too, not to mention the no custom paintjob.
guess that neck pain doesnt help his game.
It would actually be a DISCOMFORT. What happens when you don't want to lay on your back anymore. That would f your neck up ;)
son. what is this on your remote......oh gross!
LOL @ the lack of ceiling fan
the fat kid is going to be even fatter
We're gonna need a bigger bed...
Wow, that must be an exceptionally fat kid... (with neck problems in the future)
Why is it above the foot of the bed? If it could swing down on a hinge slightly, then it would be sweet. Right now, it's in the completely wrong place.
I think Michael Jackson had one of those and his mommy installed it his bedroom too.
Why does the kid have to get fat? If I had one of these (I'd rather not as it looks unsafe), I'll just use it to watch my regular TV shows a couple of hours daily. Sitting down on a couch vs sleeping on a bed doesn't make you any fatter.
Seriously? You have to ask why an american kid spoiled more than the freakiest royal family princess with a 98" TV over his bed would be fat? Really?
I guess it is theoretically possible he would not be, hah, I guess that possibility is actually part of the uncertainty principle and quantum tunnelling processes, but would you place money on a bet on it?
i just realized that this was built by stereo advantage in williamsville ny... it's literally across the street from me right now! nice!
But who's shocked that this was from the Willimasville area? The only people with worse attitudes are the neuevo rich in Orchard Park or Clarance.
"Can't sleep... screen will eat me...
Can't sleep... screen will eat me...
Can't sleep... screen will eat me..."
Oh Boy! This kid's gonna be obese!!
Wow this is ridiculous. All that work to make her son fat? She must be a stay-at-home mom. My AAXA pico projector does just about the same job at a fraction of the cost and I can take it with me when I'm done watching movies on the ceiling!!
