175" big screen?

[laugh]

Anybody can educate me what the heck is this big screen thing?

It's just a $1 magnifier right? But the seller got so many good feedbacks.

I don't know, but it looks pretty cool when you take into consideration all of the positive feedback. After I here some of the opinions here I might get one.🙂

From what I have heard, most of those just magnify the image into a larger, duller, blurred picture, which you can maybe see in a dark room, with a white wall.
Yes, I would say that it is just a magnifier.

It's a fresnel lens, used to magnify the image from a TV or monitor.

There are tons of places on the 'net to get the info for free.

Somehow I think none of those are from any TV and are probably photoshopped.

Buy 3 and let me know what the "$500 special gift" is....
Seems that they are not actually selling a "175" PLASMA BIG SCREEN PROJECTION TV - WOW" which makes them look all the more trustworthy....

Fresnel Lens...yes it works, but not as well as most pictures show it. This is what made lighthouses better originally...it's a very effective lens setup.

Typical problems are 'fish bowling' along the edges of the image, and of course you need to be in a dark room to get a usable picture. Also your TV is the light source so you have to find a spot opposite the 'image' to put it....this is usually the most difficult part.

If you are looking for a big screen your best bet is to buy a real one 🙂 Of course you could see if the results are good first.

yep its funny, hes just got a bunch of screenshots from the web and make people think the picture will look that good, I recognize 2 of the theaters from AVSForum galleries and theyre not using a crap lens, more like 4k projectors, you can get images that look that good but not for 10 bucks.
