    The xbox360 only has a component connection at present.

    With all due respect the projector was sold for £1000 and is still being sold for £800 online in some stores.

    Have you seen the quality of the image it makes if not then please shut up and come back to me when you have seen the image quality.

    i was simply making people aware that they can have a proper screen for a relatively cheap price.

    I for one do not want a blackout blind hanging from my ceiling and would rather pay the small extra fee for a proper screen which WILL have a better finish and offer a better picture than a blackout blind.

    Hi just wondering if you can just hook this up to an xbox or a PS2? also as i am renting my place at the moment i will not be able to attach it to the ceiling, will it suffice by resting it on a table?

    Thank you

    Bought a MT200 and also a TV mount bracket. Fitted the TV Mount towards the ceiling. Put the MT200 into "ceiling mounted" setting - thought that would be that. Nope. Obviously the proper MT200 ceiling mount puts the projector upside-down. Since mine was the right way up, this resulted in an upside-down picture.
    proj.

    Great minds think alike - I done the same with my dell projector and here is how I solved the problem.

    I mounted the TV bracked upside down
    then using 2 (soft) belts mounted the projector upside down (the two belts cross in the middle at 90 degrees to each other - DONT cover any vents)
    Set the picture to celing mode. You can even adjust the feet to make the picture straight just as if it was mounted the right way up.

    Also I second buying the B&Q (1.8m) black out blind, its SOOOOoo much better than my wall, and much cheaper than a 'proper' screen. Below you can compare my 'old' 21" screen with my... err much bigger one.

    Also anyone that has an original Xbox, get Xbox Media center on it and use a compnent AV pack for an all in one media player.

    Id say go to http://www.blinds.co.uk/ for any large made to measure blackout blind. a 244cm x 180cm will cost you £83 inc vat. Stores in London and Essex by there site. Go to here for bo rollers pricing (price band c I think for bo material): http://www.blinds.co.uk/roller-blinds-pricing.shtml

    why buy a blind when you can buy a proper electronic screen with a remote for £150
  • DAbs getting greedy now, price is up to £399
