Yup. Same size screen. I’ve had a Panasonic AE8000u that recognizes CinemaScope and expands automatically. I’ve been want to upgrade but waiting for 4K to come down in price a bit. Unfortunately Panasonic owns the patent for that feature and got out of the projector business. Also have old Klipsch reference speakers going through a Pioneer receiver
Very nice! And awesome feature with the cinema scoop. Mine has lens memory but doesn’t automatically detect and change accordingly
I've got an older AE4000U that's still going strong, and I love it. 135" motorized screen.

Unfortunately basements in California are extremely hard to come by. I do however have a decent sized 600 square foot detached shop with a high rising garage door and bathroom. We made the first half of the shop our home gym. The second half is the card/poker area (where you see part of a jet ski which has since been relocated to a diff part of our property). Pictures don't do it justice, its bigger than it looks (that's what she said). It's a continuous work in progress and easily my favorite part of our new home.
View from entry door located behind fenced backyard.
View point staring directly ahead when garage door is open. The door straight ahead leads back the back part of our property. To the left (not really pictured) is the second half of the shop.
Cleaning up waiting for Gorilla Gaming table. Red door leads to small bathroom (great so I don't have any of these animals going in and out of my house lol)
Don't mind the clutter on the work bench I swear its nice and tidy right now.
Just waiting for this bad boy to ship....any day now...

Mine is more of a "man cabin" than cave 
It's a work in progress and not as fancy as some of the 5-star rooms posted here (which I'm so jealous of, with your built in cinemas and the like!) but I'm nevertheless proud of Blind Joe's Poker Shack, which I built from the ground up with my own two hands.
As I'm on a tight budget it's made mostly from reclaimed materials (pallet wood being a staple favourite of mine) with the exception of the skeleton structure which I spent a fair whack on; counter tops, fridges and even a set of kitchen drawers were all either given to me by friends and kind strangers or acquired for next to nothing.
I should mention that I have no skills in this department so yes I've made mistakes along the way and I've had to un-do and re-do plenty but it's nice to stand back and think "I did that!"

BEAUTIFUL!
I'd post a picture of my Poker Shack "toilet" but—and this is no exaggeration—it is like something out of the wild west
It is quite literally a cubical made out of old wooden gates crudely constructed near the woods (into which it drains
). No number 2s allowed (or indeed possible)

Great seeing all of the before and after pics. Quite a transformation. Congratulations, looks great!

It’s been a long 3 years on the making, did a lot of the work myself, but the final pieces of the bar were installed just before Christmas and it’s finally complete.
Only one poker table set up now, but if I move the couch I can get a 3 table tourney going with up to 27 players.

As a French Chef once put it responding to complaints about the restaurant's toilet "You come to my place to eat; not to crap"I'd post a picture of my Poker Shack "toilet" but—and this is no exaggeration—it is like something out of the wild west

Anyone have a decent guesstimate on the cost per square foot to finish a basement, including a bathroom that is already stubbed in? Will use a contractor.

Anywhere from $50-$100 per SF depending on a lot of factors. High end finished or just basic drywall and commercial carpet?
That is an awesome set up. Love the table (and no cup holders in the rail). Very nice.

Since Covid has reached an all-time high and we are forced to postpone our games. I decided to take this time to make some additions to the place so everyone can enjoy the experience even more when things are back up. Added some extra photos too
Previous shots from Post #398
A new shot. Hoping to replace this table with something from Chan's in the future. Just need to convince the wife it's a necessary addition.
Some New Additions: Turning the adjacent area into a TV lounge for the guys to take a break from their coolers or simply to follow up on their sports team. I really dislike having the TV in the same room as the poker room because it starts distracting the players and slows down the action. It's not 100% completed yet but I'm working on a mid-century style extension.
The Lounge Area
Bar Area
Some Oil Paintings I'm working on. Still need to decide where to hang them up
The Hall of Fame Plaque
Here are just some Random Shots of the Night and Winter View
