I'm surprised to see that there is a screen, but then again, it probably does not work and they just project onto the white and blue wall.

You know, that's a pretty good one simply for the fact that it looks about to fail.

This one is FAR more robustly designed, so perhaps it's not as bad, however, I think it deserves some credit for ingenuity (of the stupid variety) and creativity...

Ummmm...what does this truly say about the average intelligence of the digital users (besides their choice of using digital of course). Super Thumbs Up

I've got a digital hanging by fishing line in our shared test/assembly area in the office to run a display of current RFQs, weather, stocks, etc, but at least I used about 10 strings of 80lb test with unloaded backup lines and four eye hooks screwed into the joists. The thing could probably hold a CRT up... Smile

And there's one area where a digital can't be beat. Running 8 hours a day is about optimal for bulb life so it'll only toast a bulb every year, PQ isn't important, black level is a nonissue, and if you used a CRT for that the tickers would burn the tubes to a crisp in no time.

Also they're good for motion platforms. Very Happy

I, for one, can attest to the dramatic improvement netted by this line. After seventeen hours of quintuple blind A/B/Q/G tests and jell-o shots, two of four subjects reported dramatically increased black level and a general feeling of increased well-being. At $79,000 per metric f*ck***-foot, the decreased... increased... err... altered black level is easily worth the price.

Don't worry. I actually like Barco's, almost as much as AmPro's. I just feel the need from time to time to throw a zinger in Pete's general direction just so he knows I'm still alive Twisted Evil

I was worried that the 4600 fell on you and AMPRO'ed you.

Nice to know that you are still kicking.

At least 'Barco' doesn't sound like a national vending machine pyramid scheme preying on ill-spent patriotism. "Sir, have I got a deal for you, with the AmPro vending system you can be making $1000 a week just making the rounds of these high quality projector part vending machines placed strategically in area home theaters! Believe me, sir, we know this business and we know the demand is there, so tell me, sir, you look like a man who knows an opportunity when he sees one, would you be interested in hearing more?"
