Building Cheap 100 Inch TVs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-time-for-the-hack dept.

Nastar writes "If you visit eBay and such places there are guys selling 'kits' so that you can easily build your own 100 inch projection screen. There are websites such as 100InchTV selling the instructions for around $10 a pop. They say "this is the only product of this kind on the web" and "it is now possible to convert any type of television or computer monitor into a 100 inch video system that's truly amazing!". I don't like the idea of these people selling this information, especially when you can get it free from the good people at BSTV BSTV. Ihaven't built mine yet, but the reports of quality differ from so-so to fantastic! I suppose it depends on perfecting the technique involved. "

    The above was intended as a Joke.
    I had included a &lt Smirk &gt but Slashdot cut that out, thinking I meant HTML.

    IF I had meant HTML I wouldn't have selected PLAIN OLD TEXT.
    Grrr.

    Will this work with the $10 C.A.B.L.E. D.E.S.C.R.A.M.B.L.E.R that I can build with parts available at any Radio Shack?

    Once I figured out what you meant, on a scale of 1 - 10, that was sooo disturbing.
