Star Wars

#1 Post by Dave B » April 20th, 2016, 8:12 pm

Just taking a natural break whilst watching "The Force Awakens" projected to about 7ft by 3ft on the wall (had to take the clock down).

Pity about the audio though, that is just the speakers in the portable DVD player 'cos the projector is behind the sofa and can't wire the normal stereo kit that far.

Great so far!

And it looks like there's gonna be another sequel.

Or three?

Funny you mentioned this...

I just watched it over the weekend on the wall of my family room at 8.5 ft (diagonally).

My oldest son, who rents a room from us, bought an Optoma DLP projector which we put behind the couch. The wall is about 12 feet from the projector lens. Great picture!

Ah, your's is bigger than mine ( :D )

I over-estimated, my image was only 6ft wide, thus a finger under 7ft diag.

Don't worry Dave, 7 feet is nothing to be ashamed of. :wink:

After all, It's just a matter of distance.

I do wonder if that is properly explained in the shop...

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

No problem! It may be crap, but it's the fun type of crap. :D
