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. "

    Is this a misprint?

    The biggest TV I've ever had was 12-inches and he said he'd never seen one bigger. Great tits as well.

    Maybe (s)he could do your inch to foot conversions for you?

    This is the "fresnel lens" dealio? God, Commander Taco, you have been sucked in, just like Timothy was yesterday by the "Stegdetect" guy!

    I don't really think things are so bad that we need to moderate the editors, but just a weensy bit of research can help in these cases. There will always be slips, thank god for the BS detectors of the /. readers!
