I didn't feel like shelling out 2-5k for a cabinet specifically made for a UST projector, but knew I wanted a fully automated setup. As in, screen goes up, projector moves into place, and does the reverse when powered off. My wife wanted a cabinet that matched the aesthetic of our new house. It was near impossible to find something mid-century modern that she was happy with, but once we found what we wanted we knew we needed a drawer for the projector to sit on. I could make my own, I could have gone with a manual sliding one, but I'm lazy. I wanted something that just works.
This is where the Spectra slider comes in. I was able to use a nice $300 entertainment center that the wife was happy with. I had to make a few modifications to the middle shelf to allow the room of the slider and projector, but it was simple enough. Setup was stupid easy. Plug it in, adjust the distance and wait 30 seconds, power it off and after 10 seconds, power it back on and it is locked into memory.
I have it paired with a Vividstorm 120" screen and a BenQ V7050i and it is the best configuration I have ever had. I have never been happier with my home theater. Now, I just need to upgrade my receiver and speakers (my early apologies to my wife).
All in, $750 for a completed, custom UST cabinet feels like a phenomenal deal and it looks great, too!
I took a couple daylight photos and attached them to show the projector in the extended position when the screen is up and the closed position when the screen is down and projector is off.
