For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on UA-cam.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
The relationship between the distance from the screen and the projected image size is called "throw ratio". A projector's lens has a certain throw ratio that can either be fixed or variable. A throw ratio is represented as distance/width. That means, a throw ratio of 2:1 means that the projector has to be 2 meters away from the projection surface to create a 1-meter wide image.
Thank You for that info,, I think I will have a hard time to hold on to that info in my tiny brain :-/
@@MyPlayHouse It'll stick in there if you're a projector person ;)
Also, I clicked on this video in less than a second because we have a similar situation to yours. We got two old large-venue projectors for free. They're both made by Sanyo, one PLC XF-42 (9,000 lumens, 2006) and one PLC-XF-71 (10,000 lumens, 2009). Too bad they're both not working properly though. The XF-42 actually surprised us because it had *four* lamps instead of just one.
We're looking to get them working if possible before they go to the e-graveyard.
As for the Optoma, add some in-pool adjustable lights, mount a white sheet at the end of the yard and you can watch movies at night from the pool.
So use it as a color projector,, humm.
I was thinking they would be good for a "DIY Drive In", find a big white wall somewhere. Portable powerstation would power the projector and there you go Pop up Drive In.
Driving in you house is probably not a good idea
I have a 16:9 720P projektor,,, that would be better for making a cinema :-)
We are still using projektors in most classrooms at my school at work. And some smaller classrooms has lcd tv:s. But the bigger ones for 25-35 persons are still using projectors beacuse they are cheaper then 108” tv’s. And i’m in the middle of upgrading all projectors to laser ones wich have better pictures in daylight and in a dark room 😀
I am sure they are still being used,, and if you want more than 80" they are still cheaper...
you need one in the bunker - poster board screen and a small foam couchdesk also (a tv would probably be better and use less elec) - you could expand the bunker pretty easily - how much could a 8x12x 8 box cost? a couple days of welding
The idea is fun,, but in reality the resolution is too low,,, 1024*768 is just not what it use to be.
that optoma would have some usage die to hdmi dvi. but if lamp is deat there is not worh replacing it.
Recently i got Sony VPL-FH31B from work. lamp blew out literally. i was able to order new one from amazon and now projector works like new :D
Yes,, with olld stuff like this you need to see the cost,, those lamps can be Too expensive.
Looks like you were given a remote for an InFocus projector with that last unit... which might explain why it didn't work with the Optoma 😅
Could be,, I do believe we have had those as well.
You get a cool laser pointer out of it, if you don’t have a cat already, that could be something to get next…. Cats love laser pointers.
I am not getting a cat, to play with the laser pointer :-)
What to use old projectors for - DIY halloween projects.
Since they are redundant you dont feel bad if they dont survive the seasonal halloween frontlawn showpiece period.
Show video in the sky when it snows...
I have a Benq Mp510 was gung-ho on it back then now it's a dust collector
Yarh,, that one is only 800*600,, so mine are pure deluxe...
I always liked Optoma
This is my first one :-)
Injoy the video. Just wondering. What is that background music on your video. Where can I find d that ?
Hi @stevenspasstime5339
I do get this question from time to time, so I have added it to my F.A.Q. that you can check out under the "about" tab here on my channel. I give a longer answer there.

Thank you for watching! :-)
The Ask probably needs a re-cap given it's 20+ year old age and might explain what you saw.
I saw on ebay what these cost,, it is not really worth the effort :-/
21:57 Hmm, why would you go back from Windows XP (released in 2001) back to Windows Me (released in 2000)? Me was the last version of Windows 98 and was horrible and buggy. XP was the first consumer Windows based on NT, and was solid, in it's time
:-) Yes that would not be smart :-) it was a joke...
@@MyPlayHouse Ahh, I did wonder 🤔
now you can sit in your pool, drinking some frozen cocktails and watching a good movie with this projector. a real projector-screen or at least a white bed-sheet is much better than this rough wallpaper.
I have a panasonic pt-ae700 (720p 3LCD) and a cinescreen v3 (2,30m wide) and watching movies is fun. And much more fun with a powerful surround-system with a mighty subwoofer. The pt-ae700 can do 7,62m diagonal. Was a very expensive one at it's time.
By the way: DVDs have just 720p resolution, so the optima can do this.
I also have a 720P projector,, for film,, haven't used it for a long time.
@@MyPlayHouse have used mine last time before covid. time to change this.
Maybe watch a movie in the bunker.... ;)
could be tricky with a long-throw projector 😁
It would heat up the bunker nicely :-)
@@MyPlayHouse and no more push-lights needed
👍
Thanx..
Retromortening
Old stuff, that use to cost a fortune..
Put it in the bunker with a bean bag
I 16:9 projector would do a way better job there..
First
No No No some awesome dude called @leo_craft1 beat you to it :-)
