![]() Since you can buy a new lcd projector for about 700$ - i'm not sure there are any great deals to be had there - plus lcd's are very heat sensitive and require polarization filters to remove UV (if you build it yourself). for $500 (hell even it if costs double that) it looks pretty darn impressive. They claim you can build this for around $500 If I can save up enough money I might attempt it with the help of my girlfriend's father as he has some experience in building stuff (though I don't think he knows much about soldering wires which is a skill needed for this project).Īnyways the website sells plans on how to do this for $19.99 but there are forums that you can visit and while most of them are "locked" unless you register by buying the plans (which I haven't done) there are some forums that anyone is allowed to read and one of them is called, "PROJECT GALLERY" and there are some very impressive results there. Unfortunately I don't think I have the skills for such a project but it sounds very interesting. I personal could not watch movies on a smaller screenįor anyone that feels he/she has the skills needed I found this website just recently that has plans on how to make your own LCD front projector. # Front projectors as big as your wall is and you can get hi-res 2048x1536 (7000ANSI Lumens) with the JVC D-ILA # Plasma about 50" max (the cheaper ones are low-res and the expensive (1024 x 768) ones are still not as hi-res as the HDTV signal) The denon sends a 480progressive signal through Neotec component cable. I found you need a good DVD player to give your projector the best picture possible. I have a cheap 59cm Teak TV for normal TV viewing. A few sites of interest: Ĥ) your lighting enviroment for day viewingĥ) and what your source will be (your picture is only as good as your source)Īs for me, I went for the Infocus X1 DLP Projector and would never go back, my reasons:-ģ) more than I got, but I didnt have the financesĥ) 99.9% DVD (Denon 2200) 0.1% TV (standard analogue) I have a small room, 17 feet wide and the 5X7 foot screen is very impressive. I think the projector type is much better than the rear projection setups. Most vendors have a chart or formula to show how big of picture you can get, depending on the distance to the screen. You also need to set the projector to the size of your room. ![]() Mine was about $350 and if I had it to do over, I would have got either an electric version or at least the regulated retracting type. Most will flip the picture so you can mount them upside down from the ceiling. I have more than 700hrs on my bulb, so no complaints. Mine is about $100US, which is on the low side. They do have fan noise, so check the specs. It adjusts the keystoning both horizontally and vertically, so I am able to put it on a shelf in the corner and get a perfect picture. (It's the 800X600 model) and really love it. I've had a Sony VPL-HS2 projector for over a year now.
