Get a JVC-Hughes Lightvalve projector. Only 125K but uses miniature Infrared CRT's to control LCD mirrors that modulate an incredibly bright 5KW Xenon lamp.

 

High Brightness

No Pixel structure

No CRT burn.

 

Saw one at Earls Court about 3 years ago showing on a screen about 44ft x 20ft. Still havent got my breath back.

At the same show Barco had rigged up an LCD projector with the waggling mirror from an intelligent lighting fixture and were using it to move a video image across the floor and up the walls. Not really a serious projection application but a really cool effect for a nightclub.

Yup ... LCD's don't burn in so definitely one up for the LCD brigade...

 

However the PS2 has Component Video outs and my Video Scaler will take component in so it might be worth trying an upsampled display just for the crack!

Haven't plugged it in yet but a mate brought one round Thursday night  ... 10 minutes on GT3 and I was hooked!

 

Won't risk it on the projector though for fear of burning the tubes! (LCD 1 - CRT 0)

I would say the BBC is one of THE most credible sources around.  The BBC reported in depth on this story, including quoting there had been over 150 complaints about this particular hoax and it was the sixth of its type this year.

 

They went on to name the company (SR Services or something like that).  They also reported that when they investigate the address of the company it was a residential bungalow and the person living there was of a different name.

 

While I realise that most of these things ARE hoaxes _Un-fortunately_ not all of them are!!

 

Thanks.

 

M.
