projector Q

[rudy]

Anybody ever see one of these (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5293194) cheapie from wallymart.
I want to use it for video games in the kids room, and I don't need theatre quality, but I do want to see what's going on.
Any good?
Worth $250.?

By the complete and utter lack of any technical discriptions on the page, I'd be hesitant to buy it without seeing a demo setup.

ahh, amazon has more info (http://www.amazon.com/ZMB-Zoombox-DVD-Entertainment-Projector/dp/B000BO5UHI)...

apperently the resolution is crap, 557 x 234 is very very poor, picture will be grainy at best.

My suggestion would be to save your kids the eye strain and buy a "cheapo" quality projector for $500 and a dvd player to go with it for...what are they like $30 now?

Thanks, it kinda looked like junk, but I have no clue about these things and it seemed cheap. Get what you pay for, I know.

Well actualy, you're getting less then you pay for, that thing is pretty crappy for $250.

It's one thing to make it cheaper by using a cheap low power light, but making the resolution worse than a standard TV and charging more than most standard TVs is going too far.
