Projector television.
Posted: September 29th, 2018, 8:48 pm
I recall years ago, many years, we nearly bought a projector television. It had a 10" screen, thereabouts, it received BBC only - no need to say BBC1 as when it was new that was all there was - and ITV was received via an add-on box attached to the side of the (wooden) tele cabinet.
Its usp was that it had a projector lense, either it projected on the 10" ground glass screen at the front, or it could flip over and project on the wall behind.
Cutting edge stuff.
I forget why we didn't buy it, perhaps something to do with the fact that it no longer worked.
So here we are, our 1985 Nordmende did not survive the house move in 2012, not that it was broken, just that its huge 27" bulk didn't fit into our diminutive sitting room. It worked fine. And so it should considering that in 1985 it cost a thundering £500. I read somewhere recently that new teles have a life expectancy of eight years, if so what a disgrace.
Anyway, so here we still are with no tele. Would be nice to be able to watch films. I have a good few videos.
We'd want a 32". They seem to be a rarity although Which grudgingly acknowledges their existence.
As an alternative, a projector?
Any experience?

What about parallax distortion?
