ZYUL8TR Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Greg, Take a pic of the backside connections. I am interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Thats a good projector (just happens to be the same one that I have) They do make the cable for component video, just usually isnt included with the projector. IIRC, the cable connects to the vga coneector so you can use component input. Otherwise, conections for s-vid, composiite, and vga/computer monitor are standard.

black00ws6 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I saw that projector at the parade of homes a few years ago, had a great picture. Edit.. you can buy the screen material on ebay for 20-30 bucks, buy the framing at lowes/home depot and make your own. I have a 112 in screen that cost me around 60 bucks total.

Berto Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 does the room have to be pitch dark for a good picture or can you use it like a TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 does the room have to be pitch dark for a good picture or can you use it like a TV? It needs to be very dark for it to be a nice picture, other wise it will look very washed out. The lumen rating is the judgement behind how bright the projector is, and there for how it will preform in a brighter room. I just hung an in focus projector at my buddies house, same caliber as this, and its nice when the room is dark, other wise it sucks, but I am partial to veiwing 60 sony SXRD LCOS tvs! Also does this projector display HD? If it has VGA I am guessing it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuht Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Do they make a 15 pin VGA to HDMI cable? VGA is analog and HDMI is digital, so it would be more complex than just a cable (that is, some electronics would be involved for conversion). Not saying such a thing doesn't exist, but it would be more expensive than a simple cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 This projector is XGA resolution. When I am in my basement, I can have the light on my desk on (100w halogen) and still have good picture. The thing that kills picture quality is light shining directly on the projection surface. A little background light wont wash it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
