Biased lighting for your big screen tv

Step 6 Yes, this looks like crap.

My picture looks like crap, but this is the best I could come up with after about 10 pictures and 30 minutes in Photoshop.

The light looks very yellow/orange in the picture, but this is not how it looks to my eyes in person.

Apparently my camera is really confused as to what I am trying to take a picture of so it came out either way too bright, or way to dark.

In real life, the biased lighting on the cheap "big screen edition" did just the trick. The picture is clear as a bell still, and the off background light helps keep the eyestrain down as well as make it easy to find the martini in the dark during a movie.

My only annoyance is the thermostat above the TV. It makes the whole setup look silly.

Thanks Bowdie for the idea.

"My only annoyance is the thermostat above the TV. It makes the whole setup look silly." I had the same problem. Went up into the attic and found that the thermostat wires were fed down from the top wall plates. I cut the wires (2 in my case), spliced more wire on and was able to move the thermostat over. Drilled thru the wall plates and fished the wires down to a new location. Only had to use 2 beers...:) note: First check with a stud finder to insure there is no blocking between wall studs at the new location.
