Well, lucky me, I dont need to borrow projectors cuz I have one, the bad thing is its plug to the top of my livin room ceiling.

@ azn_132 that's where my projector is going when I buy it next week. I was planning to run a long DVI cable to a wall outlet for the PC to lug into. Wnyone know the max length for DVI? I don't reckon I'll need much more than about 10m to get up the wall and across the ceiling.

Looks great, must have had a great night!
I might try that too :hmm:

Trick is to ceiling-mount it high enough that you can sit in front of it (between projector and screen) without casting a shadow on the screen.

Sitting close enough to the screen that it fills your field of vision and playing a flightsim is....disorienting. :D

Never got to try it with a flightsim. Only got to see driving games which was a little disorientating in its self.

I borrowed a multimedia projector for the weekend and this is how my dining room is rigged for battle:


The screen is the dining room wall and the display is a whopping 2.5m running at 1920 x 1080 screen resolution! (Note the door to the right of the screen is 2.1m



I'm thinking I've gotta get a projector for keeps now. Then I can just take screen shots with my camera :D:

GWX on DLP!!! OMG!!! I'm SOOOOOOO jealous!!!! :o :o :o

I wish I had a DLP projector... but the short life of DLP lamps and overall high cost... is a bit prohibitive for me tiny pocketbook lol.

You lucky bastidges!!! :arrgh!: Thanks alot... I have to mop the drool off of me keyboard now.

Well, I have two of them, an old LCD projector, and a DLP on the ceiling for those movies.

The problem is that I cannot reach it with a cable to get connected, but I can use my laptop to get a signal to it, (signal supplied via VCR) but that thing has a very good video card, but just 1.8 mhz CPU, and is too slow.

The old LCD projector, well never tried with SH3, but with FS2004 I did once, and found the resulution too low to be worthy.

DLP is very good, even sharper then my TV, but having a connection problem with it.

THE most biggest prolem of all is the wife. Since we use the projector for DVD's only I never can use it when she either is looking to a DVD movie, or just watching the old TV.

Dillemma's!

And I dont want to physically setup and move my PC and stack it up something to reach the projector with a cable.. :cry:

So, final verdict: have the hardware, but still unable! :rotfl:

You've just got to lay down the law and buy another DLP projector!:rotfl: I'm off to buy mine next week.:arrgh!:

Someday, when I'm rich and famous, I'll project the thing behind a bar and drive my wall to wall sumbie while leaning on the bar as if it was the coaming of the conning tower. :D (slurp)
