On TV’s and Projectors – part 2

Eventually, however, I ended up with this guy

HPIM0555

That’s a mitsubishi projector, off of ebay. I paid about 10% of the cost of a low-end high-def tv, for an image about 4 1/2 times the size of goodly-sized high-def tv. Here's a comparison chart, to help you get an idea of how the sizes compare:

Right, it’s just like that.

Actually, it really is pretty awesome. I don’t have any pictures of the actual screen size, but if filled out most of the wall. The kids were somewhat intimidated at first, but then they loved touching the screen and kept on trying to grab whatever was displayed on the it.

Stay tuned for chapter 3 of my amazing projector adventures!
