Dylan Pierce

Dylan Pierce has built and tuned dozens of home theaters, from blacked-out dedicated rooms to living-room laser TVs that fight daylight. He started The Screening Room because most projector content online is a spec-sheet contest that ignores the thing that decides everything, which is the light in your room.

For every projector he reviews, he sets it up in a real space, pairs it with the right screen, measures brightness and contrast, checks input lag and color, and ranks by what actually looks good on screen. He leads with light control and the right screen, because a modest projector in a dark room beats a flagship fighting the sun. See exactly how we test.
