Mine is to but I've been thinking of buying another Tv for in there though so she could watch tv or my little guy could lol... I don't really watch tv much except for the sport stuff

Maybe you should make your controller vibrate a lot...

That's what I ended up doing, buying a tv for the bedroom and adding a dvr in there. It helps me get in game time before midnight sometimes.

Give her the TV and build a man cave....

I went all out and did a complete Home Theater/Media Room in the basement and totally gave up the living room and family room in exchange....just remodeled it this spring to change the screen size and seating (not quite done there yet)...




The screen is made of black-out cloth (drapery material - cost me about $25), stretched on a frame that I built myself for under $30. It is actually masked on the sides to make a 16:9 HDTV screen that is 106" diagonal - which is used for TV, PC and Gaming; but the side masks can come down to make a 2.35-1 Aspect Ratio screen for movies that expands to 125" diagonal (and has the added benefit of removing those damn black bars when watching movies).

Now, whenever I feel like playing, I do it on a nice 106" screen in a light-controlled man cave complete with mini-fridge and 7.1 surround sound and Aura Bass Shakers in the seats...brings a whole new meaning to "immersion"!

I almost pulled the trigger on this little over a year ago. The fiance' was completely in on it and all I had to do was rearrange the man cave. I ended up holding off after having some restraints about the "light control" issues. I am not sure I want to play in the dark everytime. Also heard issues with the washed out look and not having that vibrant pop of colors like a LCD.

What is the lumens of your projector? How dark does the room have to be?
