Total of all electronic components with wiring and such came to around $5,000.
All lumber used for coffers is 1x finger jointed poplar. Used 1x8 ripped to dimension for verticals, 1x10 for horizontals. Sizes were dimensioned based upon the depth of the gimbal lights above the columns and the width of the column capitals.
Base and casement trim is also FJP, crown molding was MDF due to the major cost difference. Doors are Western solid cores, knobs by Emtek.
All speaker wires are 12 gauge UL rated for in-wall usage. All other cables and connectors are from Monoprice as well.
110v wiring is all 12/2 with 15A receptacles.
Gimbal lights from Lowes, wall sconces are Minka Lavery.
Total for all building materials came to around $2,000 (much of it in the coffered ceiling materials).
The project took around 2 months to complete from start to finish, of working on it after work each day. I'd estimate that there was about 100 hours in the ceiling construction, a great deal of that in paint work.
The columns/trim/doors/coffers are all done in a BM satin, which is the lightest shade of brown. The walls are of the same swatch, only one color darker, and in flat (to prevent light reflection from the bright projector). The ceiling is one color darker on the same swatch, also in flat. The vertical insides of the coffers behind the crown was also painted with the ceiling color to make the crown stand out more. The dark colors were all chosen to minimize any reflection from the screen.
Now that the room has a closet and an egress window, it can technically be counted as a 4th bedroom in my house when it comes time to sell.
You're aware that there are set-top boxes that let you watch video off of the internet on your TV, right? And they cost the same as or less than 1 month of cable? And unlike cable, they let you watch shows whenever you want?

The equipment overviews were OK except the Blu-ray player, which had 1/3 of all Amazon reviews in the 1 and 2 star range. The ad for this very product at the bottom of the page is not confidence inspiring.
I do agree with 2 of the issues mentioned at the end; that smart TVs are a dumb idea, and that the Nexus Q is overpriced and under connected.
I also agree with their assessment of HDMI cables, at least for short runs. However, the guys at Blue Jeans Cable cover what you need for longer runs.
Not exactly. Although I have a Pioneer VSX-90 receiver, it has both HDMI 1.4 and 2.0a/HDCP2.2 inputs. I use the 1.4 inputs for the Shield because I currently have a 1080p TV. Netflix still stutters like crazy @ 24p (even 60p isn't that great).

I have an old Panasonic DMP-BDT220 player which you can switch to 24p manually. It also supports 4:4:4 output. It has some of the best video quality I've ever seen in Blu-Ray player. Netflix playback 1080p @ 24p is smooth. Unfortunately it uses the old Netflix UI and is very slow. But for PQ alone it's the best player out there.
It also has an Amazon, Hulu and Vudu app (although I'm not sure if the Amazon app is 720p or 1080p). All output 24p fine.
I wish Nvidia would fix the multitude of video output problems on the Shield. I know it's doable if they just made the effort. If a 5yr old Blu-Ray player can do it, the Shield sure can.
