That's cooool... I'd love to see a tutorial on how to build this. Is there no way to make the mac or the projector work in "mirror" mode so everything is the right way round?

Man, wicked screen. Please make a tutorial how to make it. I'm especially interested in what lights you used for it.

@Discofreestyle lol i like how you kept answering the same question.

[98v6]

What material did you use for the screen. Bump for tutorial!

[darwindeedz]

Dude this screen is awesome.... Please share the tutorial.... I'm trying to build my own... btw whats the screen size and what did you use for back lighting?

If not a video tutorial atleast please share the steps and used components.....

[asim14545]

make tutorial already guy

[darnit6]

Hey, what led lights did you buy, you made the projector screen look sick!

[Zolg08]

man, you gotta reverse the output somehow

[Discofreestyle]

@Zolg08 it appears reversed because as explained in the description, it is taken with a iMac webcam. If i wanted to reverse the image all i would need to do is use the 'image flip' function, which is a feature on all modern projectors.

Thanks for your comment

[yowoi]

It would be really cool if you can make a tutorial for those of us that are on a budget and cant afford the outrageous prices at the big box stores

[PS3FANBOYLAD]

what projector is this? :P

[Discofreestyle]

@PS3FANBOYLAD It's a cheap Chinese LED projector called a Luxcine ESP104. It has a great picture, but has many other technical flaws so i would NOT reccoment buying one.

The media centre is PLEX, run from a new iMac 21.5'.

Go for a LG200 (i think that's what they are called) LED. Cheap, simple and does the job if you want a budget pj with long lamp life (20,000+hrs)

Thanks for the comment, if you need any more info just ask. :)

[cormike]

@Discofreestyle Its a LG hs 200 or hs201 you're talking about. But the lumen output is pretty low. I like what youve done with the screen though. Please put up a tutorial!

[lucylovesgaara]

thats a nice screen :)

[Discofreestyle]

@lucylovesgaara thank you, that's a nice receiver.

Peace. :)

[lucylovesgaara]

@Discofreestyle your welcome! thanks hun! yush!! sorry for that comment *hug*

[BarbieBillionaire]

How do I make this in the USA?

[Discofreestyle]

@BarbieBillionaire in the same way you would make it anywhere else in the world i imagine....

Not sure what you are asking, but like i said in the description, if enough people request it i will make a tutorial.

Thanks for the comment. :)

[BarbieBillionaire]

@Discofreestyle Ahh, I see.. Afer finding out plugs(for outlets) and DVDs have so many different country codes, etc., it would be nice to figure out how you made yours. I hope you get enough responses so you can share your way of making it.

[str8up05]

yes please make a tutorial as i am interested in how exactly you did this....

[AMOVIEROOM]

Very Nice! THis is great! 5☆!

[Discofreestyle]

@AMOVIEROOM thanks, i'm liking your videos too. :)

[BarbieBillionaire]

WOW! Was this difficult?

[Discofreestyle]

@BarbieBillionaire hmm, i wouldn't say it was easy, but certainly not too difficult. I think anyone with the right tools and a bit of patience could do it.

It concerns me there are so many videos of really bad screens on Youtube, with the right material and a bit of effort i think having a good screen that enhances the image, for very little money is a possibility for anyone who can be bothered to put the effort in.

Thanks for your comment, if you have any more questions, i'm happy to help. :)
