Especially if you need blinds anyway (for the windows so as not to get up with the sun at 5am), even some of the cheapest ones such as http://www.avforums.com/forums/projector-screens/372990-ikea-tupplur.html at US$15-20 make a great screen (up to 100" approx. with a much better viewing angle than LCDs, and none of especially Plasmas' reflection issues). With cleverly designed brackets, they can even be mounted to curtain rails (and double as LED fixtures) to be removed without a trace from rented rooms later on: http://diy-community.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=63752&d=1278867980

Very often, some piece of furniture or drywall (easily bridged by 125mm ventilation tubing or one of the monster-sized grommets e.g. from http://www.mockett.com/furniture-hardware/wire-cable-management) at the opposite side of the room will lend itself to building an excellent "hush box" for the projector (smokers will want to integrate an otherwise optional "museum glass").

The hard part is to hide it from the neighbors or they'll want to visit all too often ;-) - and the pressure it creates to upgrade the entire collection to BluRays now that the difference in resolution really shows.

A pity affordable FullHD 3D projection is still a few years away for home cinemas - but even then this type of installation is most easily upgraded.

Actually he says in his project diary (in a forum where they usually take TFTs apart to rebuild them into things like these or even one's own R2D2) that quite contrary to Microsoft's approach, all his web cam looks for are the pieces' shadows on the board cast by ambient light.
No need to detect more than that, the server knows which chessman comes from a particular square.

Yes thats right the native resolution is 1920x1200 the only thing that is interlaced is 1080i 1920x1080 everyone knows that. http://diy-community.de/viewtopic.php?t=7478&sid=c 6fcabb6c658505148328f877b801b7f
