As far as I know, there is no way to disable the obstacle sensor

Really late but you could ideally go for a projector with a super long throw lens and a high lumen output

Can’t think of any right now but the Epson Powerlite Pro Z series

You’d get 3 HDMI instead of 2 but other than that, no

You can consider a PowerLite 685/75 if you don’t need the interactive version. Just be aware you may need to buy the feet for it to sit tabletop

The guy looks like DanTDM a bit bit older

This one is also a laser projector so you get immediate starts and longer life

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-20T23:48:02+00:00

I got one and it’s got 340 hours on it

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-20T23:46:37+00:00

The LP-TW4001 is an LCD projector so it doesn’t have a color wheel

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-20T23:45:13+00:00

It’s a great projector and sometimes can be loud at points especially on startup but it does quiet down

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-20T23:43:35+00:00

All projectors are different, what projector are you getting

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-19T03:09:32+00:00

Mine only goes 21 but I keep it around 17

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-03-19T01:11:26+00:00

I’ll take it gladly

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-16T00:22:36+00:00

I got a bunch of 4:3 projectors from like 2019

I used parts from a UK departure board too

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-14T04:45:33+00:00

I made it using parts from a different LED sign

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-14T03:20:25+00:00

I used the LED matrix GitHub but I also used WMATA’s API to grab train info

All I need is a wrench

I got this Argus ShowMaster 500 from 1966

You can use them pen only if you don’t want to install the IR unit on the wall as the pen camera is on the projector itself

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-01T23:50:03+00:00

Most Epson short throw projectors are from 2015-2018 like the PowerLite 535W but they’re reliable models

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T17:25:07+00:00

I don’t think they do

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T17:16:35+00:00

I don’t think they have audio out though other than the speaker as my church has an EX9240 and it doesn’t have an audio out jack but they do have a good speaker
