What do you think is the best option for watching videos in my home gym? TV or a video projector. If TV wold you go for LCD or Plasma?
Thanks.
Answer
Projectors work best in low to no light conditions. The darker the room the better the picture. Most people don't want to be exercising in the dark, although some of us would probably look better! Not to say that with the right lighting control and sufficient space it couldn't be done.
To allow for an appropriately lit gym going with an LCD or plasma display would be a better choice. In the past LCD tended to have more of a non-glare screen the plasma and would not have as much reflection of the room and its lights. Plasmas were available in larger sizes. These days LCD sizes are beginning to rival those of plasma. If your desired size is available in LCD I would tend to go that direction. If you are looking for a larger size, some careful shopping might land you a screen with a non-glare finish but be wary while shopping- the display area is set up up to minimize glare in all of their sets. Make sure your looking for this flaw as it will really show up once you've gotten the set home. A tilting or articulating mounts can go a long ways in reducing (or at lest redirecting) unwanted reflections as well. Good luck!

How do you make a RCA video projector?

I want to know how to make a projector with an rca video input in it. If you don't know what an rca video input is, it's the yellow cable plugged into a tv when you want to play your wii, ps2,ps2, etc. If you don't know how to make a projector like that and you know where i can buy a cheep one in a store (like $50 or less) please tell me.
Answer
Just Google "DIY projector") and you'll find numerous suggestions. That said, you are NOT going to make a reasonable projector for $50 or less. The site at the link suggest $200-$800.
You won't find any good used projectors for $50 ... and if you did it will undoubtedly have a burnt out lamp ($300-$500 alone) or other major problem. Expect to pay $300+ for a reconditioned/discontinued projector in a store. You MAY find something on eBay or Craigslist for less ... but before buying verify the condition of the lamp.
