I was feeling perfectly adequate with my 32" WS LCD as a monitor
But now I'm not so sure :(

I see in your homepage you offer credit... any chance a student could get credit to buy one of these screens? :p Does 20 years sound like a reasonable term for payment??

As for feeling adequate..... Im feeling perfectly adequate with the size of mine :p
The partners not complaining either :D

365297 2005-06-19 11:53:00 My "warehouse jobby' as you so disrespectfully put it, is 350 meters long and ,on average, 7 meters thick, so I rillly don't think there is an 'issue' there. mark c (247)
365298 2005-06-19 14:20:00 Cool stuff indeed, metla.

I'm intrigued, but mystified about how you did this.

As I understand it, you've bought a projector & built a giant screen which you can use as a huge computer monitor?

I guess the theory behind this is straightforward to PF1ers who're used to projectors, but I'm dead ignorant about such stuff.
So what are the intermediate steps (or I suppose I mean equipment link-ups) that send data from the comp to a wall screen like that?

The brief version will be fine, thanks.

I'm sure I'm not the only non-whizz who'd like to know this..?

All I know is instead of the wire going between your computer and monitor, you get a realy long one and run it to a projector, normally mounted on the celing.

Point the projector at the wall, focus, done. :)

Best results if you paint the wall plain white, or make a screen.

Melta, what projector did you buy/use for your home theatre/pc?

365303 2005-06-19 21:52:00 Awesome Metla, just awesome! And thanks for the e-penis :lol: laugh!
Can you put a chair next to the screen or something else so the relative size is more discernable? Thanks.

I also am wondering. $1300 - new, NZ???
Is the screen a white wall or a pull-down screen used for AV presentations?

365304 2005-06-19 21:58:00 <drool> Totally awesome for games!!!!!!!! That would be so cool.
I'm jealous.

I haven't got wall space here though :-(
But imagine a MS error message at that size, :-)
