I am almost done with my theater build and this was basically the last big step I had left. I had a 120" screen that I wasn't happy with, it had lines in it from shipping, and just never smoothed out, most people couldn't see it, but I could. I also didnt like having the center low below the screen, so I saved some funds to get myself an acoustic screen with a center speaker to go behind it that is ear level with my Left and Right channels.

I am running Polk in this setup and scored a Polk 255c-LS and paired it with a Silver Ticket WAB screen. So far both have been great! The install was easy, and yes I kept in the video my oops, I mismeasured where my studs were since I couldn't find them with the stud finder since my walls have wood paneling on them, quick little fix.

I will make an official post about this project, it's taken a few months to get here but I am happy with the results.

I had this guest room next to my theater room that was boring, ugly, and would only get used a couple times a year, I wanted to give it a refresh and more use out of it. I always liked how some home libraries can look and since I only owe 6.5 books, I thought I try it out but using all my movies. Super happy with how it came out, and its fun going to a dedicated room to pick out the movie of the night, and it still functions as a guest room when needed.

About the collection, these are movies collected all the way back to the 90s, and yes mostly watched also. I got rid of a lot of DVDs over the years as I upgraded to Bluray/4k. I kept most of what i have cause it just makes the shelves look better, ha. I have a bunch of duplicates, from my dad letting me keep all his physical collection, and upgrades over the years: Yes, theres like 5 versions of The Martian in there, I have no idea why, but its one of my favorites so I'm okay with it.

I kept the Steelbook collection separate on the hallway shelf, kind of its own way of showing them off. I am proud of that collection, but I dont chase after steelbooks like I used to, its ridiculous these days, so its reserved for either series completion or some special design I really like. Which wraps this all up, I don't care what kind of case the movie comes in, as long as I like it and can get a physical version of it, it has a place on the shelf to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Just wanted to share my library, now go back to watching movies.
