Just sand your wall down to a really fine grit and they make a special paint for projector screens, its pimp to link 2 X-BOx's togather and have 8 player games of halo

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

where the hell would you buy that kind of paint?

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

buddy has same setup he just uses the walls. he permently mounted the prjector and outline where the screen was and painted the rest of the room a dark color and left the white space for the screen. looks really good now.

No paint will ever come at as good as a dank ass projector screen. The screens that are actually good have a type of reflection to them where the weave is in a diamond to bring out all the colors. The picture on a good screen is so much better than almost any tv. Is your projector HD capable?

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

damn nice buy......some people get all the hookups

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

check ebay i found alot of <$500 LCD projectors.

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

i would stock up on bulbs :P ;)

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

if you buy used make sure you can get more bulbs and check the cost of them before you buy unit. some of the bulbs go for over $200. the bulb for our Sony LCD TV is over $100 each. good thing it was covered under warranty. they gave us another tv completely cause it was less than 90days.

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

yeah my projector is HD capable, and the bulb in it has aproximately 3000 hour life

Re:My New Toy.... WOOT WOOT
 

I used to have one of those too.

100 inch big screen if you have a tall wall, god i miss it.
