Shoutout to my old couch cushion riser, my neck finally stopped hurting after 2 years of guessing wrong
I ran my projector sitting flat on a coffee table for almost 2 years and always wondered why my neck hurt after movie night. Then my buddy sat on the floor at my place last month and said the picture looked like it was aimed at the ceiling, which made me feel pretty dumb. I grabbed two old couch cushions and a $12 wooden cutting board from Walmart and stacked the projector on top. The picture dropped down onto my $40 white bedsheet screen instead of hitting the wall above it, and the whole room felt like a real theater all of a sudden. I always figured people who talked about throw angle were just showing off, but it turns out I was the one who had it backwards. Now I keep wondering what else I've been getting wrong, so what's the dumb thing you fixed way later than you should have?

The line about thinking people who talked about throw angle were just showing off really got me, because I was right there with you. My projector sat on a stack of books for like a year and a half and I kept blaming the movies for being too dark when really I was just staring up at a washed out picture. My brother finally moved it down a few inches and I felt like an idiot for not trying it sooner. It is funny how one tiny change makes the whole thing feel real, like you said with the room turning into a theater. I used to roll my eyes at people fussing over angles and now I catch myself measuring stuff before movie night.
