Anyone in SE FL that wants to pay $30 for a real projector...let me know.
it's my old one from a dedicated theater room. 480p or 720p?
I was going to set it up by pool but put up old 55" TV instead and a 42" (we don't have kids).
i can get specs.
Or I'm looking at this with 450 for a little extra better?

I am using a "Elite Screens 100 Inch 16:9 Spectrum Electric Projector Screen (49"Hx87.2"W) " and I tried one out that I picked up this afternoon.
Here is my take on performance - it was a gloomy day here and with $12 walmart blacjkout curtains it was quite dark in the room and the projector performed nearly on par in terms of brightness as I would expect something like a 1200lumen to do, or maybe 1000, tough to say. It is NOT possible to get enough shadow detail for habitual use - certain stuff will always seem a little more shadowed than ideal. Color is not able to be fully expressed, it is a bit strange possibly something to do with the individual colors washing each other out but using a Dell Ultrasharp monitor I was trying to match up some orangey sunflowers and it simply could not product a competent orange to save its life, was more of a yellow, when I tried to force more red it sorta lost too much detail.
The lens issues some people mention are bogus if you ask me - OK let's just pretend the Keystone doesnt exist because any use of it throws the image to the outer lens which is junk. I am running no keystone and it is perfectly usable as a computer desktop for web browsing and looks no worse than an early LCD.
But now the good part. Overall VERY impressive. I worked in the concert industry half a decade and worked with some $10-20K projectors that had some aspects that performed worse than this cheap $29 miracle of modern manufacturing. This thing should leave one's jaw on the floor for $29. No, the image seriously is sorta remarkable for $29 IF you have the ability to tweak color and such externally as the onboard control are lacking, I think the Mild mode and Warm color worked best.
PC gaming I only tried for a few minutes so far with games like Forza 5 and it was just as playable as on a TV or something. It's always either gonna look a little washed out or like the contrast is a bit wrong. But in terms of clarity - no there are no true clarity issues if you shoot STRAIGHT on and no keystone and play with distance/lens focus.
And it surely does not go much beyond 100" I do not think it even has full capability on my 100 it seems like focus fall off around 96-98 max on my unit sadly.
Worth every penny.

GOOD:
- low cost
- decent brightness.
BAD:
- not clear on corners
- 30ms to 60ms latency.
I've cancelled my order.
was going to get it for retgrogaming but that 30-60ms latenacy is noticable and will get you killed in contra and shooters.
IF you intent to use it with a firestick type device this seems like a great deal.
p.s. another use I've found for these: projecting images onto walls to trace for murals.

this is highly recommend as a paint for the wall for projector use. the image you get from a projector is amazing.
1qt should be enough for for two layer of 100" screen.

But yes, you're much more correct than I was.
