    I think the picture really looks better if taken with a still pic camera with some time exposure.

    All right I still haven't installed BT again so haven't seen the vid. Are you happy with the results? I haven't seen a very high quality store bought projector yet (unless you rate it by price ). Good job.

    No time to work out? Try Folding instead.

    These pics are all from digital non-HD cable, run on s-video. The picture looks great with progressive scan dvds and component cables, or xbox/ps2 with component cables. You do have to buy a separate adapter for component in, but it was cheap. You can see it dangling from the back of the projector in the last pic. I'm not using a screen right now, just the blank wall. I have one, but at only 90", it's a little too small for the room
    `anyone from Argentina on this board?

    I need your help and if you can help me pM me

    That's a nice projector. But I can't help think of 3 things..... The screen seems kinda small (the DYI's are running 10" diagonal), how long till you gotta spring for a $200 + bulb? and more importantly, are you gonna have the "cool" factor of having made it yourself?
