I just got a front projector!

I just got an InFocus X1 and I gotta tell ya it's really cool! You can have your big screen,heavy, 60" monstrosity 'cause I like my 9' picture (it can go 20+') on my wall! I got it from Best Buy for only $900. A friend of mine just paid $1200+ for a Sony 36" and he's really jealous. If you're in the market for a new TV and you've got some free space I highly recommend one! Don't forget you can hook up a PC as well as any video source (composite or s-video connector). There's nothing quite like playing GTA: Vice City on a REALLY big screen .

I got one, too. They're great, aren't they?

Thery're good alright, until the lamp in them burns out and you find out the replacement cost. Was looking at one myself until I found out that a new lamp was 1/3 the cost of the projector

If the lamp lasts the 3000 claimed hours then it should last more than a year even if you have it on 8 hours a day ( I don't though ). $300 for a new bulb once every year and 1/2 is worth it to me.

it sounds sweet m8!

im at uni and hence a lot of lectures etc are performed using digital projectors! our department are upgrading their projector and so i am onna try and do a bit of student wangling and get their old one off them dirt cheap, £50 or so if im lucky! all i need after that is a wall to project it onto! lol

The bulb thing is a pain in the ass but worth it i reckon, great for movies & games dude, if i do get this projector then i wouln;t bother replcaing the bulb after it got knackered!

the other benefit from being at uni is i benefit from vvv fast internet connection! late at night i can download files at 3.5 Megs per second (from a good source eg microsoft website!)
