Title: 175" Big Screen TV

This seems cool...guess it\'s supposed to project your TV image onto a wall or something...

Kinda sounds like BS for it\'s low price...

You need to build a wooden box that will snuggly fit on to a portable TV, and a 2nd one that will slide in and out of the 1st box, this is the focuser. You paint the inside of both black then attach the Fresnel lens to the focus slider box and project the TV image on a silver screen or wall.

*strokes his XGA projector
