MAN CAVE Pics thread - no stack posts (19 Viewers)

work in progress! Custom Chanman felt on my first table build. TVs need to be bigger! Any advice for casting to both TVs from one source?! Signed photo of PGA Tour Pro Jake Knapp and his caddie (one of my best friends) from 2024 Masters! Some signed bats from MLB and MiLB players. Chairs need an upgrade as well I threw them together from Offer Up.

I have 5 TV’s hooked up from one source. I use an HDMI splitter box to the different TV’s. I used Cat6 cables with hdmi adapters, because the run was so long from my source. Without the box, I can play the same thing individually on the TV’s, but there is a lag on each tv and it’s very annoying. The box has the same picture and sound on each. Or I can play different games on every tv. And I can hook my laptop into and just show it on certain TV’s like blind timers. Overall, pretty happy with it.

This is what I bought

Oooh, very interested. Can say what cable types connects to which things? Didn't realise cat6 cables were an option; where are they used in the connections?

@Littleluck55 can you PM me the HDMI / CAT adapters as well?

I currently run a wireless HDMI splitter, which better as line of sight, but can actually send signals through walls. The challenge here is that the source TV can be brand new, but the slave TV must be at least 10 years old. You can thank cable companies for that. Around 2013, they won a mandate that forced TV manufacturers from building TVs that could split signals. I was fortunate to have one older flat screen and it works very well.

I've since cut the cord from cable, but still have the coax in place. If CAT6 works, I'd give it a try for my 3rd TV.

EDIT - here is the link: Amazon - HDMI splitter and adapters I'm going to give this a shot, so I can add my third TV across the room and drop latency. Thanks!

That’s a great price! I just personally like having armrests when I play :)

Mine aren’t uniform, so if matching chairs are important, those Gassers are probably the better option. But my desk chairs are super comfy and I’d be happy to let them go for $30–$40 a chair. You’re welcome to drop by and check them out anytime!

I don't get the hate of armrests. I saw one game picture posted on PCF, where the players elbows, on both sides, are touching. Really? And there wasn't more than 10 players at that table.

Also, 14 to 20 arms leaning on the rail and table has to take their toll. I'm sure a Chanman table can handle that with ease, but I attached a custom table top to a pedestal base, so leaning isn't great for it.

Yes, I hate that arms rests take up space, even at my octagon table, but the tradeoffs, for me, are worth it.

Absolutely 100% spot on. The armrests make it so much more comfortable. I get it if someone has a small table, but otherwise, armrests are superior.

Octagons have a ton more space tho, maybe not for cards and chips, but definitely body width.

Agreed,. That's the challenge with oval tables for home games. They take up more space and provide less space. I was pretty surprised when I saw the post with elbows touching. That's not the cut of my jib.

This thread inspired me to put at least a little effort into decorating my basement/poker room. Still a work in progress, but I did pick up a few things to hang on the wall...
