Video Projector for Home Theater?

Posted by simoniker on from the giant-bunnyrabbits dept.

ZeLonewolf writes "I'm thinking about setting up a movie-style home theater system. I've already got the room set up and I've obtained a nice sound system. The last step is to acquire a video projector. I'm considering a few options: Projectors on eBay run from $300 to the tens of thousands. On the other hand, being an electrical engineer, there are plans online to build your own (Google cache), that are potentially as cheap as $200. What are Slashdotters' experiences? Will a $300 projector do the job? How about a home brew?"

    Discreet. The word you wanted is discreet. There is a difference.

      Heh. Maybe he meant that the projector had absolutely no tendency to intermingle its parts with other objects in the room.
