close range projector?

Post by **bart** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 13:55

we,re looking for a projector that can throw the largest possible image from a very close range (about 1.2 meter). Does anyone know of a projector or maybee a wide angle lens for a projector that can help us do this?

Have a look at the weird NEC projector: WT610. It uses a mirror and special lenses. Plus some nice "electronic wall" stuff ...

huh, i didn't look for the price. just saw one of these at the local university some time ago.
maybe one can imitate the effect by using a big mirror?!

i live in hannover and saw something from toshiba this year, didnt see it working, so i cant tell about the quality...

it has a dvd player, because its targeted at home theater users.... but the price should be under $2000

here is a link

acording to the website it comes in two models, the et10 and the et20, only the et20 has an integrated dvd player. wickit, this looks good and 'afforable' too bad the screen resolution is kinda weird at 854 x 480.
