    UST vs Long Throw Projectors: Choices and Experiences

    The same is true for me and I'd suspect many of us here. It initially bothered me when my wife didn't want to watch movies with me in the HT on a regular basis but that room has now become my fortress of solitude, an important requirement in marriage. :cool: We have our movie nights but they...
