Has ever won one of those "Make your tv into 100" projection tv" auctions

I was wondering if it works or not. It seems like a cheap way to go but i am skeptical.

You have every reason to be skeptical, but the directions really do work to make a 100" projection TV.

Unfortunately, they make an almost completely unwatchable 100" TV!

You basically build a box around a 20" TV and put a fresnel lens on it, then you turn the TV upside down and the Brightness setting way up. The TV projects through the lens to the wall, and there you go. There's a lot of FREE plans online to build it, like right here:

Here's a an example of just how good the picture looks:

I believe he's meant to warn you away from buying it

Obviously someone buys them, or the guy wouldn't keep putting money into auctions that end without bidders.

Just smear runny crap on the wall and draw pictures in it. It will look about the same and won't cost you a dime.
