Completely light controlled pitch black with dark walls. The only light source in the room is the PJ--that is no equipment lights or anything.

#6. I live in a 1910 Craftsman foursquare. My front room is the "theater" and because of the historic feel that I have, I have to hide the projector and the screen when they are not in use. If I want to use it during the day, I toss my blackout curtains over the huge windows.

lol first place the second one. (I went with the last one.)

For some reason I don't think most people understand the adverb "Completely" connected to "light controlled". (But what do a "cheery" chap like me know. Sad)

An expensive #1. No windows, 1 door, Onix Black and 701 GOM on walls, black carpet, lower ceiling ultra flat black, upper ceiling very dark green ( this makes the 5 loops of rope lighting look like glowing gold on the ceiling ). All equipment in seperate room. I do have to add that my lutron dimmers do have a very slight glow when off. I really feel that the GOM sucks up light better than black paint but not as good as artificial black velvet. (couple of pics in the album).
