CRT Projectors???

[amohedas]

I was thinking of using a projection crt display for my computer and hometheater set up. I have found some that are relatively cheap on ebay.



Are these good deals, and do these projectors really deliver that great of a picture. The ones that I have found online are REALLY expensive, but the ebay ones arent too bad.

Yes, CRT projectors do display awesome pictures, but they also weigh close to 150 lbs, and usually require a trained professional to calibrate. I'm currently in the process of building a theatre in my basement, and I'm going with a digital projector. Probably a Sanyo PLV-Z2 or a Panasonic AE500U.

Even if I had the money to get an awesome CRT projector, there's no way I could convince my wife that hanging a huge 150 lb box from the ceiling is a good idea

Most newer digital projectors have DVI ports, so it's a snap to get 1 to 1 pixel mapping at resolutions like 1280x720.
