:lol:

sounds like a cheap crappy resolution projector

if its the same as all the others, it aint worth it. my friend tried this, it looks okay, but its hard to get it to look really good, and i dont know what they are talking bout HD for

100 foot? :)

You mean 100" :)

:lol: rotfl



well... technically.. it is just a crappy projector

so I guess it could be 100 feet.. if you held it back far enough.. and had a big enough wall

LET ME REPEAT MYSELF ANY PERSON CAN DO THIS! MANY PEOPLE EMAIL ME AND ASK IF THEY NEED PARTICULAR SKILLS? LET ME SAVE YOU SOME TIME "NO YOU DON'T NEED PARTICULAR SKILLS"

tip: anyone can have a bigger tv for free.. just by sitting closer the your current one ;)

maybe i should sell my idea on ebay

It doesn't work. Don't bother. Even if you can get it focused properly, a television doesn't have enough lumens (light) to produce a watchable 100" picture.

If you don't believe me, do this. Take your 27" tv (or whatever) and move it over to within a few feet of a bare white wall. Do you see anything on the wall? Pretty dim, right?

Maybe it's $8 a foot. :)

Nice bargain -rolleyes-






















-wink-

Here's the instructions you'll get, in brief:

1. Buy a page sized Fresnel Lens. Do a search, they're cheap.

2. Turn your TV upside down.

3. Hold the Fresnel Lens in front of it: Voila, it projects the image onto the opposite wall. Move the lens closer and further to focus.

There's refinements, like building a box to hold the lens and maximize the amount of light coming out to the wall, as well as making it easier to focus.

Here's a picture of their newest construction, which they call "Big Woody". :D :D

Projection quality? Let's not joke. You really get what you pay for. That Big Woody is scaled to use a 13 inch set.. Crank the brightness up and you can get something that is watchable in a dark room. Here's a link to an image of ConAir on their Big Woody: http://www.bstvcentral.b0x.com/conair4.jpg

turn my 36" tv upside down????? are you nuts?!?!?!

Did anyone get a look at that dope standing in front of the screen in the picture?rotfl


"Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?"

45 people already bid on this piece of junk?! My god. :(

Ehh.. That's not a terrible price the ebay guy is offering. He includes the Fresnel Lens, and those are fun to play with. I did this sort of project once with an old 13 inch TV and a cardboard box. It's entertaining, if worthless. :D
