You aren't that thrilled with HD TV's you say? At least not thrilled with the price? What if you were to prove your DIY audio-visual prowess by building your own near-HD quality video projector for a fraction of the cost of a canned model? "Woo-hoo" is the correct response to that question.
Instead of rehashing the topic with another full-length how-to, I'd like to point out that our own Will O'Brien wrote an incredibly thorough and fantastically photographed how-to on the very subject. His
seven-part tutorial lives over at our world-famous sister-site
Engadget.
Will is one of DIY Life's resident technology gurus and has written a ton of
awesome stuff also for
Hack-a-day, (another sister site of ours) for the geeks of the world. Please note that some of Will's work is not safe for dummies (NSFD) or the technologically challenged. Hack-a-day is however, quite DIY and geek-it-yourself friendly. If you get squeamish trying to program a VCR (you seriously still have one of those?) then please look away now, and by all means, hide the children.
