[Donny661]

I have a 27" and a 36", but I'd rather have a DLP projector. Make a donation to me and not tenders .

[rhegedus]

28" widescreen at the moment, but when I win the lottery I'll get a 60" plasma monster!

Regards,

Anyone know what du har redan addat means?

[Gazorgan]

27" TV at 12 feet, or a 21" Monitor at 2 feet. You decide, but effectively I have a 10 foot Digital screen (with AC 5.1 on the computer but only Dolby Surround on the Stereo).

[Will Hay]

25" big enough for me thank you...

that "du har redan addat" looks likes swedish, I cant seem to figure out what "addat" means but:
du = you
har = have
redan = already

[hothandiman]

@tgpo:

Anyone know what du har redan addat means?

Yes, it's Swedish, with a dash of English (Swenglish?)

As someone pointed out:
du=you
har=have
redan=already
addat="Swedish" version of added
There are lots of these English words with a Swedish twist in use, mostly among us gear heads.

PS! Oh, ...and I own one 28" 16:9, one 22" 4:3, and two 14" 4:3 TVs. Like everyone else, a really huge plasma wouldn't hurt, and if I had thought of it, I'd have opted for more than 28" - The screen is exactly as high as my 22" 4:3, so for viewing 4:3 broadcasts, it's a 22"... DS

[energy80s]

I have a 21" Ferguson 4x3 set and a 21" Panasonic 4x3 set. If either blew up I might consider going widescreen, but the amount of widescreen programming hardly justifies it at present. The largest TV I've used is a 32" widescreen at the BBC - far too big for a normal living room!

A philips Pixel Plus 36" in my job (yes, I have TV on my job....), a nokia 29" in by home (100hz, no flickering) and some others in various rooms.
I also have an ancient LCD sharp videoprojector. I love it. Anything from VHS to DVD looks identical to it

It is a good trick to justify that VHS and DVD is the same

[pbhalerao]

29" in my home theatre room, 21" in my bedroom. Any one knows how to get DVD output on LCD projector (without macrovision problem)?

[pacmania_2001]

1 x 27" 4:3
2 x 21" 4:3
2 x 19" 4:3
1 x 13" 4:3 Black and White

Dont ask me why we have so many TV's, just seem to acumulate them.

Next TV purchase will be a HDTV Widescreen, probably about 36" but not until about 2005

[boss]

1 philips 36"
1 sharp 28"
1 philips 28"

all 3 are widescreen, the only way to go! 8)

[fantomlord]

There shouldn't be a problem. Are you hooking the DVD up directly to the projector?

Hitachi 53" HDTV RPTV with 5-lens @ 4:3. I opted for the 4:3 as my son and wife watch a lot of cable shows and my game systems are in 4:3 which can cause burn-in in wide screen RPTVs. I can watch DVDs in 16x9 full resolution if I sent my dvd-player to out put progressive scan 16x9 via component output and set the TV to aspect ratio #4 - equivilant to a 50" widescreen.

[TwIZzlEr]

sony 53" HDTV for now, alot of awsome options on this thing. Can't wait for the HDTV rule for all networkds to come in to effect, as some shows are really pixilized.

14" factory-second branded somethingorother. It works quite well, full PAL/NTSC and RF/Comp/SVid/RGB compatibility. If only it had teletext, a second SCART plug and stereo speakers it'd be pretty much the perfect 14"er Does the job, seeing as the room I currently live in doesn't actually allow for more than about an 8ft view distance.
Benefit of small size is that it makes VCDs seem high rez, and DVDs seem like totally smooth paintings!

Back at the ranch there's a similarly equipped (but twin-scart) 25" jobbie which could actually do with being just a little larger, if only to make the cabinet it occupies not seem so cavernous..

Best one that i've heard of though, is a friend of my brother. His dad works as an AV equipment repairman or something. Went to a school or college where they had some of those big old tri-colour (3 huge filtered lenses) projectors. One of them wasn't working and they said he could have it for free if he could fix it or at least find somewhere steathly to dump it. Turned out to be something along the simplicity lines of a burnt-out lamp or whatever the equivalent is in those things, and luckily it also came with the right fittings to plug in composite video

So now this family has a room with one wall smoothed off and whitewashed, with a similarly salvaged high-power surround sound system. The projector gets hauled out, set up and plugged in to a DVD player, PS-2, or whatever, the lights go down... and voila... the closest thing you can get to having a bona-fide cinema in your own house. Pretty much the entire wall gets covered, and like SatStorm's, it smooths the picture off nicely (especially as it's PAL) in a way digital systems can't quite match.
Best of all, it didn't cost a thing - other than a lifetimes experience, transport costs, a bit of solder and a bucket of cheap white paint.. brilliant.

Maybe someday we will all get that lucky.
