Circy, just thought you'd like to know that I've played ZR + ZR 2 on the biggest screen ever (I think) about 120" - 10 feet - 3.3 meters. It was on the side of my apartment building. Oh yes, and thank god for wireless keyboards.
It's cool, cause I've turned my spare bedroom into my own movie room. I just hook the monitor and my 5.1 speakers up to my computer, throw a blanket over the window and BAM! instant large entertainment. Its great for watching anime and for playing Mechwarrior 4: Mercs.

The only problem is unless it's extremely dark, the image is washed out, but I don't like too much light anyway. If you build one, it's best to use an obnoxiously bright monitor. KDS monitors ar usually really bright. While Hewlett - Packard monitors give a more clear picture, but are usually darker.
So all that auction is for is the lense and some plans? I have 2 computers of my own, laptop and desktop, plus all game systems, dvd players, vcd players, so this would be great, could play anything, watch my family guys, or futuramas or whatever on full screen. Although the tv in my room is already 3 or 4 feet big already.
...Is there any cord or anything out there that lets you hook up a computer to a tv? I have wanted something like that for a long time too...
It is possible to hook up a computer to a TV. You need to buy a video card with a TV out connection. It will have a standard tv jack where you attach a cord. Then you just plug the other end into your tv's extra video input and play.
Eh, I don't think this will have the same quality as a real projector or big screen TV. Claims such as "what the electronics companies don't want you to know" are a little silly. But I would love to test it, mind posting the plans?
