Ridgeburner Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 what is it? edit: oh is it one of those projector lenses? Yeah you're dumb, they dont work for s**t :laugh: no worries though ,it intrigued me too when I first saw them years ago, my step-father foolishly bought one (only $2 though) and it doesn't work for crap. Maybe they fixed it so it works? I dunno :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well it's a kit, a lens to make the image off a TV bigger, and instructions on how to set it all up. I've never used one, and the reviews are mixed. You tell me how it comes out when your done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeburner Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Well the one my step-father bought was just a lense, and basically, you had to set the TV/Computer Monitor/whatever up in a box, it came with instructions on how to build the box correctly, and when he attempted to do it (man was it fun watching a non-handy man attempt to build something) he finished and the image was blurry, upside and backwards :laugh: Best of luck to you though, let us know how it turns out (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy_tho Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Its a sound idea but not that practical. More of an ebay gimmick I'd say. If you were to build something like this with very high quality components you've basicly made a projector. You'll also need a very good screen. Also I would think posting your address on here might not be the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
