Ok this lil invention is older than most of us ppl here..

but for those who dont know jack about taking your regular TV set and expanding your viewing to 150', here ya go

www.myimax.com

for 25$ (more with building materials) you can take your TV set and project the son b1tch up to 150" on your wall!

I did my research and ordered one of these suckers..


I also wanted to know if anyone else has one of these..how bout some feedback?
 
yeah... but then the quality wouldnmt be so good....
you might even be able to see the lines.....
member how lil kids always stuck their nose up to the tv and saw lines?
well, with this device, you'll see the lines even at a normal viewing distance cuz its basically just magnifying your tv
 
Neither would I. Well... maybe if I rearranged the furniture and took some stuff off the walls. This is definitely a bachelor's gadget.
 
Well, by logical thinking, you'd get the same type of result by just taking your projection TV apart and aiming the projector portion at a wall.

I wouldn't take a TV apart to begin with, and projectors die fast with video games.

Or those TV station logos. My father-in-law has $4000.00 Mistubishi projection TV less than a year old. He is totally meticulous about his PS2 and screen burn. But he has this layered screen burn of TV station logos in the lower right of the screen. Believe it or not he got his projectors replaced by Mistubishi. Now he's on a crusade to get those things taken off or made transparent like some already are.
 
hmm, yea our 53" Sony XBR is in the shop now...I turn it on on Friday, and the whole picture is a pincusion/fishbowl. Text was arched, and on the edges there was the blue-red-green, the center was focused though, but watching it was like looking through Coke bottles.

$450 to fix it, after the $300 we payed several years ago when the convergence got all screwed up. And this was from Broad Brothers Sony-only store, my mom's dad started the store and owned it till he died in '94, so we are getting a slight discount. For some reason(competition from bigger stores), they have totally stopped selling stuff, we bought all of our Sony TVs from them, VCRs, all that(some 6 TVs, and 3 VCRs, then the rest), and so we kinda have to get ours fixed because Best Buy and places like that don't sell top of the line stuff and don't have all of the models.
We paid $1200 for the XBR, this guy owned it for a year, turned it on like 3 times, and had to get rid of it, and my dad happened to go into the store right then, and bingo.

The only reason my TV isn't Sony is because Sonys are really expensive, and since they have more pixels then the rest, they wear out from games and stuff faster.
 
Personally I think those monstrous TVs are kinda dumb. Especially projection TVs. The picture is distorted and faint, to me anyway. My 36 inch Toshiba suits me fine, especially for the size room it's in.

Well, it looks very interesting to say the least. I'd give it a shot with a crummy old (old, old) TV.

BTW, phunny foto, PunkRock! :lol:
 
Are you sure that pic wasn't taken just before the gates? I don't think that photo was taken inside the place. Never been there, but some family has. :p j/k.
 
"[The entire unit will be 15"-18" long and the diameter of your TV screen.]"

Where can I get one of those circular TV's?

thats what you have to build..

quoted from the site..

"Remember it's so easy even a small child can successfully complete the projector. Once the projector is complete you are ready to go. Yes it's really that simple! "

Hmm?
 
ok i got it, and installed..

1st off, its not that easy that a small child can assemble it...although it is pretty pharkin easy to build (you have 4 ways to build)

I chose to build to cheap,fast,easiest one..which is the cardboard model..

piece of cake, you go and steal those small square crates behind any story,and fit your TV in there. build a box around the tv, and create another smaller box (which is the focus box) and bam, there go..your all set..


so you lay it horizontally and bamm, you have your image..but whats this? its mirrored! so you look at the troubleshoot that came with it, and notice theres one extra step >(

you grab your little box set and stand it up..
now you get a mirror and place it 45 degrees over the projector and there u go , problem solved..
