PS Sorry, guys, thought the boards used HTML, my bad.

1) Learn how to link.
2) What is your point? Every other auction on eBay is for that crap.

heh i think someone here got this once and tried it.
while it kinda worked it was really blurry.

where do you hook up the magnifing lens? What's the trick behind it? Taking the current TV picture and just enlarge it with a lens to a wall?

Someone should post the instructions on the internet.

A buddy of mine tried it. It actually did work, but the picture was very washed out and blurry.

Is it just a matter of removing the glass lens? It seems like an amusing idea...

i had $2 in my paypal and won one of those auctions a few years back. the dude sent me a ms word doc with some instructions about going to a hardware store and getting some parts and building a box. i was too lazy to do any of it... $2 wasted.

It has an actual scientific name - I want to say "camera obscura"

It involves a reflector to flip the image horizontally (so that when the image hits the wall it'll be the right way around, and probably a fresnel lens, too, to concentrate the light.

People have tried it before, successfully, but it's not cheap. There was one for sale in the FS/FT forum for a while, and there's a couple of forums out there dedicated to them too I think.
