your local tv repair shops..(if they exist in your area) always have these box projection tv's and are always itching to get rid of them.

You just have to peel the front screen off a old big screen TV. (usually two screws) look on craigslist for a free curb alert.You can set one up in a corner of your living room.Get a cheap projector off ebay like the CTX 500( or Proxima Lb20) for under 35.00 both use $5 lamps.I have extra screens..if your in FL.lol

The farther a projected image travels the bigger the images gets ,the mirror just bends the image in a different direction.Make sure if you try something like this that you remember to always have good ventilation, weather you try rear or front projection keeping the projector cool keeps the bulb from over heating and increases its life. Enjoy the holidays w/ movie nights at home!

how can a small screen make something so big in the back of the projector is it a lens or mirro;r your projection it on

[REDZONE133]

@narcovice Mirror , it just bends the projected image.There is 7feet from projector to screen >>>( 2 feet to mirror plus the 5 feet to screen).

Cool idea

[PiranhaJaw22]

it would be extremely helpful if you turned the lights on so we can see what you're talking about

@PiranhaJaw22 check out the pt2 slide show w/ lights on and details.
