Create your own 150" HUGE SCREEN PROJECTOR TV (an ebay auction))

[GRIFFIN1]

This isn't my auction, but I was just wondering if anyone has tried making one of these.

Link to Ebay aution. Please don't buy it from this guy.

After doing a little research, I found out that you can buy the lens from office depot.

Apollo Full Page Magnifier, 8 1/2" x 11"
Item number: 327016 $6.99 each


I don't really think that something like this will replace a real projector, but it might be fun to play around with. If I do it, then I'll just use cardboard and tape for the box and some 36" paper from the plotter at work for the screen.

Just think if your monitor was 150"

Have you ever seen DVD (720x480) on a nice projection system (100+ inches)?

I would hardly call a ghetto rigged magnifying glass a nice projector

I think he was just pointing that your argument is misleading.

you can build your own projector pretty cheaply but this isn't the method
