ive got a 42" rear projection tele in me room its a bit big but who cares,,

playing games on them is quailty and the picture quailty is pretty good imo

my samsung 1 cost me 850 bout a month ago

i work for sony... try the VPL-HS3 (150" screen) or VPL-HS20 (300" screen)

can get you good discount to iaz...:D

you should try doing the bonus games on Sonic 2 & Sonic 3 on a projector :lol:

REALLY fucks ya head up!!

i want one of these to play pc games on lol, that would be soooo coooolll

other things to watch for, as well as lumens, (basically the higher the lumens the brighter the image will be) is contrast ratio, the higher the ratio the better qualitiy the image will appear to you

Also need to look at what the image is projected on to, some screens are better than others, and projector positioning in relation to the screen is important, some higher range projectors offer facilities to adjust keystone to correct poor projector positioning.

http://www.wedgwood-group.com/ is a usefull resource for prices and advise, i stock the sanyo range up to 10,000 lumens at the moment and use them mostly in our hire stock for high profile conference work, very reliable and quiet machines.

Hope thats a bit of help sorry for the essay lol!

when I borrowed a Sony VPL-CS6 from work...

projection was 8ft wide! Want one of these myself!

Cheap projectors are about £500 and they are about 1000 - 1300 ANSI lumens. They are good.

Even better projectors again are between £600 and £1200 and are between 1500 and 2000 lumens.

All projectors between 1000 and 2000 lumens :)

Would love to know how the hell you could afford a projector TV after just finishing your car.

They come in at a couple of grand for a decent quality one. The Lumens is the brightness/quality of display, the higher the number theoretically the better the image.

not rear projectors the ones that project on to walls or screen! how much do u think for a not bad one then?? wot are these lumens i need to look for???

do you mean rear projection tvs like you see in loads of pubs, or actual projectors? Rear projection TVs arent known for their good image quality, but they are a lot cheaper than the alternatives at that size ie plasma and the largest CRTs.

projectors: Barco

fookin expensive though

A Projector yeah ?

Wanna look for the Lumens, more the better.

Dunno which ones tho

i fancy one of these but dont know much bout them of the quality of the pictures etc! anyone got one or seen one in action! any advice on wot i need to look for and go for wud be ace!?

thanx, iaz
