@Terc: I wasn't aware that Sony had ever manufactured an SXRD device that wasn't 1920 x 1080. I'm pretty sure the Qualia line (Sony's hideously expensive first generation SXRD equimpent) was all 1080p as well.

My favorite feature is when the room shakes and throws everyone to the floor.

@Fierock:

my wife (yelling from the kitchen): "honey are you watching porn again?!"

me: "no baby, I'm not "watching" porn."

Fierock

screw the bridge and its fancy schmancy screen, if this were mine I'd be hanging out in the holodeck.

Missing: the voice-activated control system.
"Computer, dim lights; set tempurature to 72 degrees; display all movies starring Patrick Stewart."
"Displaying"
"Computer, play the one where he was Locutus of Borg."
"Ready to play."
"Engage!"

@superhalo: Of course its not a recreation, its just a themed home theater.

@deeddawg: Speak for yourself... My fiancee would go nuts over this...

Mondoz

Wouldn't it make more sense to take all the time, money, and effort spent building that setup and invest instead in some social skills classes. At least then you'd have a half a hope of finding a pretty lady to watch movies with instead of sitting alone in your ST themed home theater?

If/when I build a Star Trek home theater, no matter what Trek I choose, one thing for certain is that I'm going to have a captain's chair with the master controls in the arms. None of that "controls on the center console" crap; I am the damn captain, damnit.

King of the Wild Frontier

I wrote this story. This isn't a "Next Generation" theater. I just personally rank TNG as one of the best Star Treks ever -- and gave this theater that same title. Sorry for any confusion.

good lord thats awesome - only thing missing is a Klingon translator for subtitles.

Make it so!

Giz, if you couldn't find specs on the complete setup, I'm sorry about your eyes.

Looks comfy, that's for sure.

Ready room = Green room. ;)

strider_mt2k

the motion air lock doors are the coolest part

@NcSchu: Yep, first thing I thought was, that's not the A model, it's the D model. Damn I'm a nerd.

Editors please correct.

BK88

perhaps "go where no woman has been before" might have been a better title.

neps

Can we get a new "extremem nerd home theatre" setup? The star trek theme has been done so many times. Wheres the space balls home theatre, or the jetsons home theatre?

nutbastard

That's awesome.

markgm

More like a quasi-faithful recreation of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D bridge...

NcSchu

I might give my left nut for that...if it was 1080p. =)

Razta

If it is a TNG theater then it is a recreation of the Enterprise D. The Enterprise A didn't look anything like that

superhalo

What? It doesn't come with Denise Crosby and a basket of "toys"? Don't want.

nightsky

Not that I would ever be caught dead in that room, but if I was I'd be afraid of wearing a red shirt in that room. I might end up dead in that room.

@macserv:

Q004R1 Compatible Signals
15 kHz Video, DTV (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i), Computer Signals, (fH: 19-72 kHz, fV: 48-92 Hz).

No 1080p, although it does have 1080 vertical lines.

BensAngel

135" screen? That's way too small for a room that size.

Also, I would have had the sequential blinking lights along the bottom of the screen.

And the room is pretty narrow... looks like they were trying to fit it into a space vs. building the right space around the theater.

Actually, the real bridge would have made a nice theater, two seats in front, five behind, and the rest have standing room behind the wooden semicircle.

StealthPersona

When I die, I want to to entombed there. In the Star Trek Coffin, of course.
