Some guy experimented and turned his 50" LCD Rear projection tv into a 100" rear projector simply by removing the screen and building an enclosure with the new larger screen a foot or two further than the original screen.
When he first took off the screen to find out if it would work he said the picture filled his entire walls from 6 feet back and was fully in focus, clear and bright. So, he went forward with the project.
Ok, this surprised me that it stayed in focus even from 6 feet away. The size had be nearly 200" from that far. When I did this with my CRT HDTV I had to refocus the lenses and redo convergence, but they use a totally different kind of lenses and projector.
So, does any knowlegeable person know if a 1080p DLP RPTV would work the same and stay in focus, at least a couple feet from the screen?
I have Sharp ET20U super short throw projector that can vary pretty greatly in size and still be in good focus and it's not as short throw as a Rear projection tv.
So, do you guys think maybe a super short throw lens allows for focus to be retained more at much bigger sizes?
Anyone with a DLP (or a newer LCD rear projection set, not flat panel) RPTV willing to simply remove the screen and test it out?
Please? lol.
