Howdy:

A colleague of mine asked me what I though about
http://www.yourownbigscreen.com/

I have never heard of it before. I guess it sounds too good to be true. Picture quality must not be that great if it does work.

Anymore heard of this before?

Thanks

My first thought was "camera obscura", but then I found this on gobigtv.com (or something like that):

"(1) One of the highest quality 3X Fresnel Lenses ever seen on the internet! Don't be fooled 3x is really the highest power these lens come in."

The way folks piss and moan about DVD edge enhancements, I think that they would drop bricks over the image quality (not to mention the brightness - can you say "inverse square law"?) with this deal.

Reminds me of the "Color TV Convertors" sold in the 60's (damn, but I'm getting old ...) They were plastic sheets printed with a blue band across the top (for the sky ...) and a green band across the bottom ( for that realistic green grass, or lips, or car tires ...)

Brings to mind the saying"IF it sounds to good to be true, it probably is" I'm sure it works and I'm just as sure it looks like crap.

On Friday's The Screen Savers they put one of these together and the picture looked like crap.

It's just a cardboard box with a cheesy looking lense duct taped on the end.

Thanks all. I sent the thread to my colleague.

I just ordered it. We'll see how it works.

lol

I couldn't help it!

Pauline C. from CA looked so blissfully mind blown by the size and performance of the XLTV in the scam....er, ad shown in the link that I had to give in and order.

Damn you marketing jackals!

Someone just emailed me to ask how I liked the XLTV and I had to google it to see what the heck they were talking about! Hey man, if you are following this ancient thread, don't buy it! It's a piece of junk. I should know. I have three in my garage.
