My buddy's got a projector that we want to mount on the ceiling to watch movies on

If we do that, it will be upside down. Do they sell some sort of image inverter so this is possible or should we try to set it up a different way?

All the projectors I've seen had menu options to invert the image for situations exactly like that.

What's the video source going to be? Will it be connected to a computer, or a DVD player? If it's going to be hooked up to a computer, I believe that nVidia's drivers will allow you to rotate/flip the picture.

Edit: yeah, like ViperGTS said, there's probably a menu option in the projector that'll let you flip the image as well.

What make/model is the projector?

$1 says it has an option to invert the image (and yes, I will paypal it to you if I'm wrong).

It should have a setting to do it on the projector itself. If not, you'll have a build a housing for it to ceiling mount upright or something.

He's saying its an older projector, not entirely sure of model... but it is a Toshiba brand

does he have the manual... the others are correct in saying that there should be an option somewhere to invert the image.
