Love the zwift mural. Mind me asking how you did it?
Hi Barry
It’s just a wall mural/sticker I had made up, quick and easy to install

You should be selling those bad boys!
Well done man! looks awesome
Hey, what’s the distance between your bikes and your monitors? My wife thinks ours are too close, so I want to compare to others. 
The screens are 42" from the bars. I kept them close somewhat due to the space available in my basement but also because the screen takes up more of your field of view and is a little more ‘immersive’.
I will say that I see a lot of setups where the TV’s are higher. In my experience (I started with a smaller TVat a higher position), the low TV position is quite a bit more comfortable and ‘natural’. When you are pacelining IRL - most of the time you’re not looking higher than your own head - most of the time your looking lower. So, keep that in mind.
@OtterJohn : My setup is a 27" gaming monitor and it is about 12" (300mm) from my handle bar. As Christopher mentioned the height is important, i found that the bottom of the screen need to be about handle bar height.
Not enough room to get a photo of everything. It’s an 8’×8’ out building, set up with computer, screen, fan, heater, bike, and cycleops trainer. I get to use it until the Red Wasps run my out in the spring.

My semi-permanent setup is in a spare bedroom. I can hide the Kickr and Venge away to unfold a sofa bed if guests stay, otherwise it remains in place.
Running Zwift on a PC, which wirelessly projects to the television and simultaneously delivers Spotify to the soundbar beneath the television. The tall speakers are for a separate sound system. The small black studio monitors on top of the big speakers will be moved elsewhere, leaving a reasonably uncluttered look.
The mat is just an old towel, until an ordered Wahoo mat arrives next week.
The weakest link is the wobbly old trolley desk for the PC. It’s quite unstable. I think I will obtain a Wahoo desk soon.

What’s your technology for wirelessly sending the PC image to the television? How well does it work?
The television is a fairly modest Samsung 7 Series 49" which has wifi mirror-casting capability, and is HDMI connected to the Samsung Soundbar behind the plaster wall for a clean wall look. From the PC I just connect using the Windows wireless projection functionality. Seems pretty reliable. Sometimes it gets a bit pixelly if I have a thousand apps and tabs open on the PC. It’s just a standard work-issued Acer Spin with no fancy graphics or processing capacity. An occasional restart to close all unnecessary apps and clear cache seems to keep it quite happy.
I set up a Spotify playlist first, then open Zwift full-screen.
Repurposed my budget home cinema room. Zwift running om a dedicated PC with gtx 960. assembled from used parts (cost 210€)
Entry level Optoma 1080 projector, used old Onkyo 5.1 receiver.
2 refurbished Tacx flows.
Pretty immersive for a €1100 setup (all hardware besides the bikes) and more than enough for someone who hadn’t cycled an accumulated 1000km in his life before starting Zwift last month…
Now I just need better fans

This looks great. How do you get the PC/projector to cast two Zwift accounts simultaneously?
TIA

I’m basically just running Zwift twice. Instructions on how to “isolate” the two sessions can be found here: HOWTO: Run multiple Zwift sessions on the same PC (Windows only) | random neuron misfires

My set up in my home Gym. Apple TV 4K on 49” 4k TV. Tacx Neo and Nordic Treadmill.
All works very well for me.
