A mom has mounted a 98-inch display into the ceiling of her son's bedroom.
An article over on Electronic House shows an incredibly large 98-inch screen mounted in a ceiling, a scary sight to be honest, although high-def gaming while lying in bed doesn't sound too shabby. Although the post doesn't exactly describe how the 98-inch StarGlas60 display was installed (although the ceiling had to be reframed and reinforced), mom Patti Deni definitely went all out for her teenage son's bedroom.
According to the article, the entire 300+ lbs. package consists of an NEC projector paired with Draper projection mirrors mounted within the display. Apparently, HD images can be viewed from any angle so that Patty's son doesn't have to stay on his back. The installer--Williamsville, NY-based Stereo Advantage--also had to install wiring for the game consoles, laptop computer, and cable box to the rear-projection.
“He and his friends can prop themselves just about anywhere and get a good view,” Deni said.

Headline today "Crazy: 98-inch HDTV Mounted in Ceiling"
Tomorrow's headline "Tragedy strikes when television falls on child"
That'd suck if it broke and fell on you LOL
And yet his room looks very un-nerdy.
Humm, why are kids over weight these days? Humm, I wonder.
I wish my parents would've been rich when i was growning up.. Although they still wouldn't have got me that stuff lol.
Holaa wow, crazy... Guess this brings a whole new meaning to looking up out to the stars - IN HIGH-DEF! With your gf, hehe and enjoy watching the moon landing while they're at it.
Imagine at school or something. His mates ask him;
Q: uhm, how come you're head is tilted up most of the time?
A: Argh what... it is?
Wow. What a dumb idea. Besides the safety factor of it being in the ceiling (which it most likely is secured, so that's not a problem), but how uncomfortable must that be to look at?
Since its a projector system, I bet what you see is not the heavy part, the mirrors mounted in the attic is another story and well, if people can walk in the attic, then this can sit up there(weight wise). The hardest part is cutting a spot tall(looks too wide to fit between standard trusses) enough for the screen, but even that is not too hard to be honest.
At the same time. How spoiled.
Although although although, although although.
Can she be my mommy?

300 pound tv can't feel to good.
I actually find this offensive. have we not learned the social and psychological damage of this kind of conspicuous consumerism? you know that kid is going to be a spoiled prick. what redeeming quality does this provide? its embarrassing and pathetic and i hope it falls on the kid while he is engaging in "relations" with his mother
Wow...spoiled little boy????
I'm going to have to say this "the entire 300+ lbs. package," that's gonna be her son he just lays there and plays all day.
I bet within a week he'll have a hell of a lot more "friends".....
What's a waste of money.
Best Mom ever.
i guess he won't have to strain his neck so much anymore trying to see the porn over the other guy's shoulder.
Just don't loose the remote.
I've got a 106" Projector screen in my family room, where it belongs. In a bedroom? Stupid! In the ceiling? Even dumber! This mom needs to go back to mom school!
This so sounds like something sarah palin would do
You know, the allocation of stat points in this world is pretty random. Something about common sense and the wealth attributes here seem lopsided...
Cool TV, but Will It Blend?
That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Who the heck wants to watch TV looking straight up other than someone with polio.
Poor kid.
Proof that just because you can have kids doesn't mean you should.
can you imagine pr0n on that thing?
lol, he can look at p0rn and jackoff in bed
I hope it crushes the little wanker while he is beating off on his midget porn collection
I have actually tried this, and it is not as comfortable as it sounds. I have a projector and used a mirror to project the picture directly on the white ceiling above my bed (I tried this once when I was home sick and uncomfortable even sitting up for longer periods).
The problem is that when you have the picture directly above, you have to lie on your back to see the picture properly, and cannot change position easily (e.g. to lie on your side or belly instead). That is very tiring for your back after a while.
Although, although, although... sorry... just wanted for my comment to match the article... although
And as for the "monster on the ceiling" there, I hope it's firmly attached cause a little earthquake now and then and presto... flat screen teenage son
^1+ haha, im glad im not the only one that noticed all the "althoughs"
and all he wanted was a pony
