Man if anyone has an LCD monitor laying aroud you should try it. It would be cool to see if it works.

Yah im tempted.. i like the idea of using a small lcd screen like 7' to make it compact but the quality is effected. i could use a 15' but the box size for these gets soo huge.. but im sure the screen quality would be nice.

i wanna use it for pc gaming and dvds.. i wonder how the response time will affect the visuals. i know cheap lcd screens wont have the best response time.

I plan on building a media room (fansy name I use to my wife when it's really just a video game room) in my lower level next year and am still up in the air on what type of TV/Projector I'm going to use. IGN had a good review of a projector that's only $1000. But something liek this might not be bad either.

Bought my InFocus X1 projector with 60" screen for $500. They can be found cheap on ebay. I don't see how that projector kit could produce any picture of quality. But my projector was the best purchase I made in a very long time.
