Projector peeps

[Stuart]

i can get this

http://www.epson.co.uk/product/imaging/projector/emps1/spec.htm

for 1000 notes (euros that is ;) )

is it going to be up to being a TV for average use? or am i best off waiting a bit for the LCD tv's to get bigger and cheaper?

[jkhilton]

the only thing about using a projector as a tv is that you would need to keep curtains closed and lights off all the time for the best results.

If you would use it mainly for gaming or watching movies, then it would be perfectly good enough.


Projectors are a brilliant idea, expecially if you have a surround sound system aswell, it's like having a mini cinema. :)

well ive got the surround sound stuff. although being a year old its time for some new stuff lol


and as it is i have to have the curtains closed and lights off just to see the TV in the lounge, so it wont be much different to normal lol


just wondering how long the bulb will last etc and hiow much new bulbs are

[?Marty?]

plus, you can prpject porn onto the neighbours wall.

Or fit it under a bonnet scoop, drive to some car-park and etc, and project porn on the wall. Charge for pay per view.

[DUNOVA.]

Thats a good idea :wink:

[Breeny]

Bare in mind the bulbs are ?300 ish each aswell.. We go through about 2 a year for each projector at work (5 of them)

But there still bloody good, mate has one in his living room in his flat linked upto Xbox/Pc

[peester]

hmmm, watch tv on an epson projector must be like listening to music on a russell hobbs cd player and tefal 6x9's.

[Breeny]

True.. lol

Stu, Don't get that one, its only 800x600

See if you can get 1024 x 768 and XVGA instead of SVGA :)

We use Infocus ones at work, I like them :)

[Stuart]

[Fester]

I agree with Breeny the InFocus ones are reliable and always seem bright

[?Marty?]

yes i agree too, i get all my bulbs from Focus and like them. Have a peach coloured one in my bedroom. nice.

[Stuart]

id have thought that you would have a red light in your room

[?Marty?]
