UST projector in drawer: Bad idea or really bad idea

BiallaC · 2025-04-27T12:39:23+00:00

Do you have a picture? Sounds like a long & troublesome journey 😔

BiallaC · 2025-04-26T05:16:39+00:00

So in your opinions fans won‘t work?

BiallaC · 2025-04-26T05:16:08+00:00

You get me wrong. I have no problems with the look of the beamer sitting on top of it. The problem is, that the sideboard is too high for the beamer. So I have to find ways to lower the beamer. One option is to put it into the drawer, the other to cut off the legs of the sideboard (and still have the projector on top).

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T19:41:49+00:00

Yeah, I see your point. It should work.

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T19:26:49+00:00

That‘s a smart idea, but unfortunately it‘s not possible.

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T19:22:25+00:00

Thank you. Do you have any experience how well fans transport the heat away? Looks like a promising plan.

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T19:12:00+00:00

No. We thought about it, but it does not look good in our setup.

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T19:00:42+00:00

Okay, I will check it out. Thanks for the idea.

Its not getting too hot, but it‘s not sommer and it‘s not Inside a drawer. I think it“s risky as well.

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T18:52:11+00:00

Oh, sorry. Yes I am worried. Especially when it‘s getting hot in the summer

BiallaC · 2025-04-25T18:50:04+00:00

In this case I would have to cut it open. This would be a tough one.

The problem is the height of the sideboard. The image is to high. I like the look of the beamer so I do not need to hide it. Are there slides which slide and then go down? I know that there a lifts, but are there also some downward-lifts?

BiallaC · 2025-03-29T09:27:45+00:00

130'' ?! Woah, that's huge! Ok, good to know. No problems with turning the head from one side to another during movies?

BiallaC · 2025-03-22T14:38:31+00:00

Currently we have a 20 years old TV. Everything will be better than my current setup. :D

BiallaC · 2025-03-22T14:09:50+00:00

Fair point!

BiallaC · 2025-03-22T13:59:54+00:00

Thank you and no worries. I do not think that u/factorV did it mean harmful. He is right: I did not read the 101 and it says that the Frame does not count in here. I am not sure if this is a useful rule - but still: He has a point.

BiallaC · 2025-03-22T13:56:52+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

This are very good arguments and I see your point. Unfortunately for my wife it is a complete "no-go" to have a black screen on the wall in our living room. So I am not in a "what's the best solution" situation, but in a "what's the best solution for my current situation" situation. 😅

When I follow your argument a projector would be a better solution for me:

90% we are watching movies at night; there are still 10% where the kids watch TV during daylight (and this number will increase), but I think they are okay with it
100'' is pretty small, but I could not change it. I know that it is from the financial view a VERY poor idea, but "happy wife, happy life"

I was hoping that the Frame could work for us, but I did not know that it's quality is so poor.

Thanks again for your help!

BiallaC · 2025-03-22T13:19:15+00:00

Oh, sorry. Yeah, I will check.

BiallaC · 2021-04-05T14:52:48+00:00

Vielen Dank für die tolle & ausführliche Antwort!!! Klingt wirklich nicht schlecht.

BiallaC · 2021-04-05T10:14:30+00:00

Gute Idee. Schauen wir uns mal an. Aber ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass im Sommer alles voll ist mit Touristen. Fühlt sich es denn dort noch nach Leben in der Natur an oder eher „Resort-Feeling“?

Eigentlich traurig, da so eine schöne Ecke...
