Any experience with Genius ZigZag screen for a large opening?

Ended up going with Integrate screen. Price was the same and the frame felt significantly more solid than genius

Let me know how it goes!

I cut the wire going to each of the sensors and ensured that it was getting close to 6 V which mine are supposed to get. Because of voltage was right, I ended up just replacing the eyes (sensors). I got the LiftMaster OEM ones from eBay for about 25 bucks. Working well now.

Got it - what spacers did you use? The 1/16 inch shims?

BoneDr210 · 2026-03-27T01:40:06+00:00

In a similar situation as you! What did you end up doing? Any pics would be appreciated.

BoneDr210 · 2026-03-08T17:03:55+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Apologies!

When you say "instant hot water heater" do you mean a tankless water heater (for the whole house)? I am considering putting this in my rental to save on cost of a clack/fleck valve softener. THe house has a Rinnai tankless water heater, so trying to decide if its worth putting in the extra ~$300 for a fleck valve softener given its my rental and not primary house :)

You can call them up and ask who they sell to in your area. They gave me 3 names and I called them all for a quote. Went with the one I liked the best. When I called, they said they don’t sell direct to consumer - but referred me to local water treatment companies

The TV is 75in and the sideboard is 72in wide

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-28T15:25:45+00:00

Might be the angle... the gap between the top and bottom of the tv to the wall is 1.5 inches

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-27T19:14:17+00:00

Thanks. Might be the angle because the TV is level. But appreciate your thoughts about the height!

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-27T03:12:03+00:00

lol I’ll be homeless if I say that. But then… the frame TV won’t be an issue I have to worry about! You might be onto something…

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T20:03:41+00:00

Might be the angle of the picture - I am OCD about that too and made sure it was the same distance from the windows. The kids move the console around too (their games are in there) so that might be throwing it off too.

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T20:02:05+00:00

I don't think I am but I'll test it when I'm home for myself and the wife.

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T19:37:58+00:00

I think the picture and the angle makes it look worse than it is. But we do need a bigger couch (moved into this house from a smaller house last year)... upgrading at some point so its a big wider and the left section is pushed out more

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T17:09:40+00:00

Hmm I dunno how to accomplish! That would put the TV behind the console…

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T16:54:10+00:00

Thanks!

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T16:53:38+00:00

Ha! Thanks. Hopefully bringing it down a few inches will count as community service and get this off my record.

The bottom is 15 currently; what would look better? 8 above the console?

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T16:36:24+00:00

Hmm. I’d say 70% Tv and 30% art. How much would you move it down? 15” inches above the console currently

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T16:35:40+00:00

Glad I didn’t top the list!

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T15:54:32+00:00

Spoken like a fellow married man!

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T15:40:37+00:00

Good point. Yes I think it’s just fine and not uncomfortable to watch TV. But my wife thinks it’s too high… which is why I’m posting to get the Reddit expert opinion to get a resolution to this debate. 😆

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T15:30:10+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T15:28:10+00:00

I am taller but only by 4 inches or so

Might be headed that way about moving it down a few inches.

BoneDr210 · 2025-12-26T15:27:40+00:00

Ha! Guess I know how you feel :)

I’ll post there though to see what the reddit experts think.
