"Upgrading" things is one of my hobbies.
So, naturally, my living room is not a standard living room, but also a home-cinema.
And when I began to be too irritated to have a small screen to watch when dining, I decided to upgrade it again with another projector...

This "new one" is a very cheap one so without lens-shifting capabilites, and since I had no choice for placing the "projector box" but in the middle of the window (for esthetic purpose), I had to cope with the built-in throw configuration of the projector, so the screen is not ideally placed.

But look 4 yourself (360 video) :


This will be solved when the "dining-room projector" will be replaced with the "living-room" one, itself replaced by a 4K one, and a PS4 Pro...

The setup, able to feed the 3 displays from 6 different sources simultaneously and automatically, requires 3 switches, 2 splitters, and not less than 14 HDMI cables, of various lengths !

Here's the cabling schema :


One word about that : DONT BUY EXPENSIVE HDMI CABLES ! 
Standard quality are strictly equivalent to "high-end" and overpriced ones ! 
As HDMI is a digital transmission protocol, all 0s and 1s just look the same.
Just prefer shielded cables for long (>5m) cables, and it should do the trick !
