Hi I am new here,

Got bitten by the flight sim bug and now I need treatment.:) I am interested in making a 225 curved screen but the 1000 USD price tag on nice projectors I have seen a few others use is just too much. I have seen some cheap projectors on ebay such as the one below.
Any thoughts?

You'll note that the native resolution is 640x480. Your cell phone probably has a higher resolution and it's only a 3 to 5 inch screen. Bad choice of projector. You wand at least a native resolution of 1920x1080. 1920x1200 would be better.

Yeah I just realised it. I saw the 1080i and thought full HD. However I was looking at using 3 1280 x 800 projects like Ivar did here.
