When PolyVector and I got back from our holiday I had talked a bit about the new projection system we helped our very good friend Stillie setup. He had gotten the same setup we are currently using from April of ‘07. I wanted to share our handy work with everyone since Stillie finally got to posting up the screen pictures on his blog. While you can see the screen and some images being projected there are not shots of the projector itself. We ended up mounting the projector on a shelf which worked out amazingly well with dimensions of Stillie’s living room. The screen is a 100″ widescreen and the project is displaying in 480p. So you don’t have to go searching around the projector is an Epson PowerLite Home 20.
Edit: Stillie just informed me that he updated his post to include some up close projector pics. Be sure to take a look.

its’s only 420p??? I must be going crazy then cuz I had set it to 720p along with setting his ps3 to that resolution and it looks a lot clearer than 420….albeit not as clear 720p on a standard HDTV.
It’s 480p, but can accept 720p/1080p signal and downscale. It probably looks better when downscaled from a higher res (with video games only) because that’s basically what anti-aliasing is… Taking a higher-res rendering and downscaling it to cut back on the appearance of aliasing (jaggies).
ah ok, that kinda sucks, was wondering why it felt a little blurry, but at that scale it’s probably better. Yeah, when we watched Die Hard on Blu-ray, you could see more detail, but yeah it was still a bit blurry, guess that solves that.
I’d say moving from 26″ 480i to 100″ 480p is a nice jump… I don’t think I’d be willing to pay the $440 more for the 720p version either just so I could make out a few more sweaty pores. ;)
It really shouldn’t be that blurry, maybe it needs to be refocused?
