The only question I have is if anyone can find any solid 3rd-party reviews or whatever debunking or confirming this. The theortical idea is quite intriguing, I must say... :p

My boss started telling me about it, with the intent of finding out if I thought it was possible in the slightest. I don't think he got it via spam, though.

well if you got a big freaking lens I supose it's posable, the fact that there is no trade off at all for this, no rick, nothing to lose but the small amount of monie you give to them, the fact that the name of the company/product is laserX!!!1!!!, and the fact that running the name laserx and prjection through google provided nothing (literaly), and I can't find there ebook on kaza all lead me to the conclusion that this is a crock of crap, and someone some were got the link to this site through spam

you cannot enlarge a pixellated image without comensurate loss of visual quality. For this to look good in any way, you would have to sit far far back from the screen. Besides: you can't get a decent flat lens the size of a television for less than $100, let alone for less than $20.


Its a scam.

[color=66ff00]Looked into this a while back because it seemed reasonably doable BUT! (and it is a big but)

1. The image only comes out as bright as the TV screen's output, people who have built this say you have to use it in a very dark room top see the picture.

2. The lens inverts the image. This means that unless you use another lens in conjunction with the main lens you have to put your TV upside down (unless you can watch whilst standing on your head). From what I've read most TV monitors have a problem being placed upside down.

3.  That site is remarkably misleading.

Construction is all pretty similar no matter what the claims of it's capabilities are: Plans

i have a friend that got one of these, years ago... it sucks.  it's not even close to worth the money for two reasons:  first, it has to be completely dark to even see an image... if there's light, you see next to nothing.  also, it loses quality big time

100-inches?

I couldn't even project 1/10th of my massive man-hood.

What good is that?


Man, I'm bored.

you know, you seem obsessed with penises.

it's very unusual for (regular) males to be obsessed with penises.  you say you've got a 1000 inch penis (:wtf:), you have a link to a penis in your signiture (which you've sized)...


:wtf: :doubt:

Yeah, 2 references to a penis. ****, I must be gayer than Elton John.
