i have no idea what to look out for in spec etc
i came across this one on ebay for 100 euro second hand Hitachi PJ-TX100 Review - Home Theater Projectors - CNET Reviews (http://reviews.cnet.com/4505-7858_7-31092644.html)

im not buying it but it is on auction for 100 euro with no bids an a hour left on the auction

just looking for general info on how big ya can make screen etc what type connections are handy for it etc etc

no idea as a proper answer, but a *REAL* projector, unless mega mega cheap try to avoid 2nd hand.

1) price up the cost of a bulb for that projector possable ?400
2)if buying used, ask what the hour meter says for the bulb.
if it's going to come from member Justy22 - don't bother the hour meter will
be incorrected
3) something about filters - not sure, but find out from a proper shop about a service.

you basically have 3656457856788909 mirrors, 6656787897656678909 lenses, you dont't want to spend 5 hours clening it, rebuild it, then find a pubic hair in it.

Justy22 basically if you do your homework 99% of his posts are milage IN-corrections - he is a train driver that seems to buy A LOT of cars with incorrect speedos!

No problem with him - as long as he don't speak like Rab. C. Nesbit have no problem meeting him face to face.

Not understanding plain Inglish *THINK* he means you need to check it was widescreen, letterbox mode and too big mode.

think it is refering to 1068*1024 or something - quick flick through a HDTV bumf might help.

Don't blame me if your wall isn't big enough.

Daithi,I can only speak on overhead projectors but some contain a filter which if not cleaned regularly can cause the picture to flash different colours on the screen and it is annoying.
