Fun With Projector!

Bundini · 02-25-2006, 10:45 PM

These are from a few weeks back or so, but I'm sharing now anyway. I got my grubby paws on a projector for a while. Fun ensues.

The setup: http://www.primotechnology.com/share...ctor/setup.jpg
Hooked it up to both the 360 and mah PC.

360 Dash: http://www.primotechnology.com/share...ector/dash.jpg
The printer gives you an idea of how big the image is.

HL2 was purdy: http://www.primotechnology.com/share...ector/lost.jpg

As was Rhona: http://www.primotechnology.com/share...ector/desk.jpg

Anyway, I had the bright idea to sneak into school and see how the sucker looked on the big screen in the auditorium. 20 ft. screen. Bose surround sound. A whole, pitch black theatre to enjoy it in. WHY NOT!?

The size: http://www.primotechnology.com/shared/projector/08.jpg

The setup w/ friends: http://www.primotechnology.com/shared/projector/06.jpg

Crappy closeup: http://www.primotechnology.com/shared/projector/02.jpg

A few more here: http://www.primotechnology.com/shared/projector/

Anyway, the picture looked pretty damn clear, but obviously not high-def enough for the 360. Fun times though.

Sorry for the shitty pics.

I've always wanted one, and then point it at a broken mirror that has been put at all kinds of crazy angles, so it breaks up the image and reflects it in all directions around the room.

trippy!

yeah remodeling my room for projector i got to play my 360 on one..and loved iam getting one that supports hd tho
what model of projector was it and is it dlp or lcd because that make big diffrence on type of screen to use..

for dlp use matt white because dlp can really show low levels of black grey nicly

lcd can not! as good dlp anyway. so people use grey or mirror screen so can get low level colors looking good

now dlp has 1 drawback it use color wheel. so if u have a habbit of looking all over screen fast you may get rainbow effect.

damn i want a projector room that big, and how did you manage to sneak into school and set it up?

Scooby · 02-26-2006, 01:45 AM

Nice lady friend?

Nice moniter as well, my home will have a theater room one day when i have a home.

mistawiskas · 02-26-2006, 07:20 AM

I want one too....but alas, the wife is against it as our place is small and the price scares her. It'd be a great toy but there are other things on my 'list' that come first.....someday though.

Justin is that you??

Griffin · 02-26-2006, 05:54 PM

Sorry not any one you know i go to Sparky's school.

Hubcap · 02-26-2006, 05:55 PM

curious as to what kind of connections that projector has. Are you running component video cables? Or just s-video from the xbox.

I would love to get a projector, but if you want a nice one, with dlp technology you really need to spend around 4k.

	Say goodbye to our beloved planet. Because there is alot more money to be made in emitting greenhouse gasses, than curtailing emissions. Get out of the box, then recycle it.
