A video projector like my brother got

70" of pure action battle pleasure!

Nowadays he plays wow and guildwars with the damn thing

and it looks 90% monitor quality, with costing only 1500 euros.

Even normal tv's people buy cost that much.

Oh and on topic more;

Gears of war.

the 70" wall at about 5 feet distance and the dolby surround sound system blasting when we went through the GoW co-op was a experience like non other

Eh? 360 VGA cable looks stunning, no need for a VGA box

Yep, my 50inch at 4ft is pretty mind blowing. I am a tech whore though, I want my ingame characters to be lifesize and a 160inch projection system does that!

chodax, was in tesco today looking at TVs. my mother got the crazy idea that she suddenly needed a new one and is currently pondering over a 42" HDTV to replace the current one we have. but anyway, i noticed in there you can buy projectors and a screen for a grand. think it went upto 100"

i dont understand the range on projectors... surely, it'll still work if it exceeds recommended range... or does it get distorted? but then... cant you just focus it?

 

[Cylian]

a projector doesn't differ too much from a flashlight. And if you aim a flashlight at something that's far away, it won't show as shiny as it would if the flashlight was closer to it.

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

thats why you cant use it at unlimited distances

you might as well have been speaking spanish...

ok, in other words the lense has a focal point. after which the image cant be focused anymore

play & charge kit or rechargable batteries, i'm currently using batteries that only take 15 mins to charge but will get a play & charge kit at some point in the not-so-distant future

 

[Naffets]

I have an unofficial rechargeable battery pack and a play and charge kit, only cost like £15 for the pair, 3600mah aswell.

My dad bought a projector on a whim and never used it, its now siting in my family house.. can't wait till i have my own flat next year (rather than shitty uni halls), bringing that bad boy up
