Home Projectors
Discussion
I have been looking at projectors to use at home. I was going to use it instead of a wall mounted TV.
Am I barking up the wrong tree here wanting to use it instead of a normal TV?
I have seen some decent ones on the DABS website and was just about to press the buy it option but I think I need to know the full ins and outs.

Its a Seleco CRT projector and 8ft wide screen..
I have my sky plugged in but to be honest it does'nt look very good blown up to that size.. I suspect you will be looking at an LCD as opposed to an CRT.
I really only use it for films and watch tv on my normal tv.
GT4 is fun on it though..

Nice one.
I've got an ok ish DLP jobbie and a 6 foot wide motorised screen that comes down in front of a window.
TV is ok as long as the source is good enough, sure it's not a patch on DVD and the projector will show that up more, but it's watchable, the lack of a TV box is quite handy, do remember though you have to put the projector somewhere and somtimes celling mounts etc look horrible - not everyone has nice bespoke looking cabinets like Vixpy!

U have a bit of a budget system.
BenQ5120 DLP PJ
Sony 5.1
Sony Progressive Scan DVD
I use the Video as the TV Tuner box, so you can watch telly on the projector, all being shown directly onto the wall, painted matt white, although I am told Delux IceStorm 5 is the best shade.
I would give it 10/10 for the price, go fo it.
Eveyone that see's it loves it.

Sorry, but Sim2's are ok if your on a budget
What you need is a Vidikron Vision 1 there are no other substitutes, and sorry, anything other than a CRT just doesn't cut the mustard
Sorry Vixpy, couldn't resist
